Kayak fishing Ochlockonee Bay

[jbearden]

Has anyone ever fished the bridge in Panacea in a kayak? I've been wanting to try it out. I've mostly fished St. Marks lighhouse and St. George over the past several years. Any advice.

Some folks fish it for big black drum. Use a whole or boat blue crab on the bottom. Seems like sheep dad would be there also. Good luck

I've spent plenty of time kayaking around the shell beds closer to the mouth, but haven't tried the bridge yet although I would like to. Seems like they would hold fish! With my setup, I would plan to bring a longer-than usual anchor rope - not sure how deep the water is at the bridge and don't want to paddle against the current! Give it a shot and let us know how it goes!

I dropped in the Franklin Co public boat ramp by the bridge and paddled out to Bald point, ended up drifting about a half mile south of Mash Sands. I was throwing a 1/2 oz egg weight to a #6 Hook; live bait.

Holy catfish. But I'm sure there are more desirable fish with a better rig. It was quite a paddle, I'm not doing that again.
