Great perspective! Thanks for the comment. One day soon I hope to have a great day fishing, but it has eluded me for several months.

I've been thinking about doing that as well. As long as you are inshore near St Marks the wireless signal is good. Econfina was a little spotty last time I was there.

One thing that surprised me about the Garmin units. Even with them owning Navionics, the Garmin units are not compatible with Navionics chips. If you want to update the mapping on a Garmin unit, you have to go with Garmin Blue Chart. I thought the Echomap UHD 7/9 was compatible with Navionics? http...

I like it better than my Garmin GPS, but I use it on my phone and can't drive the boat with my phone. It's only compatible with the Garmin Echomap UHD or Ultra.

Great report! I hope for days like that soon.

Did a little fishing near the lighthouse Sunday and caught both color drum so I wasn't skunked. Maybe one day I'll get close to limit!

Navionics is a great tool! This course is only 13 miles.

I saw something about broken windows at Mandalay Bay, but I think it was on Facebook. Haven't been able to find to post again.

I scouted around the East River Saturday. Caught 2 cats and a sting ray so I wasn't skunked! . Water temp was 68 in the river and 72 in East River.

Gonna make reservations at Stony Bayou next Saturday!

Better get there early!

Me, all my friends, my family members, and about 642 other fishermen who have access to this forum internet thing will be there this weekend. I'll bet the fishing will be great. Between 1 and 5? :D Sorry I mentioned a specific spot. Next time I will leave out any specific location. I'm not sure if ...

I'm in a dry spell! Went to the St Marks river Saturday 2/19 around 1pm starting at the Fort and working up river. I got all the way to the 98 Bridge and still hadn't caught anything. I did get to meet Redbeard in person at the boat ramp, so that was good. Prior to that on Friday afternoon my step d...

I have never been turkey hunting, but I've been told that once you get into it it becomes a passion. Good luck and happy hunting!

Did you put in at Mandalay or some other ramp?

Sounds like a great trip! I agree with being brave in the Aucilla! The only time I've seen a broken foot was from low tide rocks in the Aucilla.
