B. Gray, I guided for Waterfall Resort for 6 yrs.gave it up 2 years ago after getting married. I know what you mean about St. Joe in Aug, I loved those silvers off the bottom in 250 ft. of water, a few kings thrown in to make things interesting and usually a limit of chicken butts to top off the box. Where did your wife get her #54? I'm guessing the Cape or Seine Rock.
Good luck the rest of the season, its good to hear from someone from my old fishing grounds.
