Probly the wrong weekend for this
Guys and Gals,
I am finally christening my new(to me) boat on Saturday. It is a 14' skiff with a 25hp. I have done a little wade fishing over the past few years in this area. I have only been on a boat twice since coming to the Tally area. I did lots and lots of fishing while I was in central Florida(30+years) especially in Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon.
I am hoping to get a tip or two about where to start looking for fish. I, like everyone else it seems, am looking specifically for Trout/Redfish. I am more than willing to share any information. I know the BBSC is this weekend but if anyone could point a newby in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am planning to put in at the lighthouse as early as I can. Is low tide a problem at that ramp?

Head east, fish the rocks, banks, and creek mouths. Throw topwaters, spoons and softbaits. Should be EZPZ.

Re: Probly the wrong weekend for this
keep an eye out for rocks. if you have a top spots map, look for rock garden -- good fishing but rocky.

summer tides @ the lighthouse should never present a problem for your rig.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Good Luck! Watch rocks and heat!
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Thanks all for the tips. I hope the maiden voyage is productive. Semper Fi to Big Bend Gyrene. I will report back after the trip.

Hey, fishinfool if you were in the Corps give a shout back... curious to know MOS and years you were in.
