Re: Sailfish 18 ft center console

Interest depends on many factors, price and condition are the major ones imho.

Re: Inshore/River fishing: what am I doing wrong?

Nice looking rig King! The g/f says I can't post any pictures of her so maybe there's still hope :) We will try again this Saturday in a few new spots.

I hope to have some time to get my current boat fixed up a little and sell it to upgrade or just run it one more season.

Re: Inshore/River fishing: what am I doing wrong?

We need to see photos of the girl friend first in order to accurately answer your question. :wink: She wants to see pictures of your boat first! :lol: Thanks for the help. I have been thinking about scouting around towards Wakulla Beach or Stony Bayou, but thought the river would be a better spot w...

Inshore/River fishing: what am I doing wrong?

So, back in the summer I told the girlfriend several times that fishing would be much better once the water cooled off. Now it's nice and cool, beautiful weather to fish in and we still can't catch any fish. We went out to the St Marks three times between Christmas and New Year's Day and only caught...

I wasn't sure if they were just parked or were using the ramp, but they are highly trained individuals. :thumbup:

Re: St. Mark's ramp

It was still closed on Dec 31, but it looked like the floating docks were back on the poles. There were 2 FWC trucks parked in front of the ramp and one was towing a boat.

GPS Navigation on an iPhone

Does anybody use an iPhone for GPS navigation on the water? I don't want a dedicated navigation unit for my little boat so I was wondering if there is a good free app for navigation via the iPhone. I just need to see how close I am to the rocks when running out to Grey Mare or oyster bars near Wakul...

I was telling a friend at work about the fillet and release program and Google brought me here.

Re: St marks, Lanark area waters

The water was pretty clear last Saturday, but I'm sure that has changed in the last few days. Me and a friend found our limit in about 3 hours.

As posted earlier, I'm sure there are more rocks than the chart shows.

Re: A couple of map reading questions

You will also see "platform ruins" marked, and I have yet to see any evidence of them. I was looking at the chart this weekend as well and wondered if there were any remains in the spots that are marker Platform (ruins). Does anybody know what was there years ago? I'm sure there weren't a...
