I went from 3-8 ft. Water temp was 88.6. Hard to fish with so many boats running around. Game Commission checked me said he saw only one legal fish. I counted 48 boats from where i first stopped. Still a great day on water. Gonna cool down some day again.

It was slow for us yesterday, lots of boats out of Ecofina. Came home with 3 trout and a nice flounder in 6-8' of water.

One of my favorite summer holes has about 4-6 feet of water, depending on tide, but drops right off to about 10-12. The 4-6 is spotty bottom. Often have to wade through lady and shorts, but we have had some good days when it was miserably hot.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?

I recently had good luck out of econfina in the early mornings in around the 4-5’ range then moving to the 6-7’ in the afternoons when it warms up. Finding the deeper holes in later part of afternoon is always a good stop.
