Jerry's Bait & Tackle wrote:Peer Starr has certainly learned the benefit of living in Spring Creek. That is one of the few hotspots right now. Keeper trout are in the canals. Anglers are catching fish in the main spring. Trout, redfish and sheephead move in and out of that spring constantly. There is a boat ramp at Spring Creek Marina which makes fishing there convenient. It is sheltered from winds making it fishable when weather is inclement. The opposite shoreline from the marina is a good fishing spot all the way to the channel where Oyster Bay begins.

Spring Creek Marina
Where is this? I know on Spring Creek ..Directions from 98.
Chalk,
I have that info but it's at home. I can post it tomorrow. Scott at Jerry's had a fishing seminar last Friday night and he handed out directions to all the launches in this immediate area and Spring Creek was one of them. He also talked about the location of the spring too. It was really good - everyone seemed to take lots of notes - makes me want to go exploring! Probably will.
Anyway if you don't get your answer before tomorrow I'll post it.

It's very shallow around the ramp. Time your trips with the tides to be sure you have enough water (like you would at the Aucilla).
The area is productive but also very moody. Good fish one day, none (literally) the next. On weekends, it's too crowded for my liking (again, like the Aucilla). But, you can fish when it's windy and head over to Oyster Bay when it's not.
