Heading to St. George Island this weekend on Saturday.

Anybody do any good trolling off the beach or fishing nearshore on the beach side?

Should be some macks along the beach right now.

Spanish or king?

Both I would imagine. But mostly Spanish. Either way I would take the boat, gonna be a nice weekend.

Where would you launch if you were going to spend the day on or near the beach?

We went out of Carrabelle last weekend to one of the towers. The channel was pretty decently marked and we didn't have any problems on the water. We'll be coming from Tallahassee.

Why wouldn’t you take it?

Take the boat!

Carrabelle city ramp or Timber Island would be your best bet. There's a nice ramp on the island at the foot of the bridge but you would still have to run east or west a ways to the cut to get to the beach side.

Mayo do some fishing from the beach at SGI this weekend. For the macks would shrimp work?

If you put in under the bridge at SGI go west and its 5 miles to the cut. Fish either way. If you want to go east you should just put in at Carrabelle. This is for fishing on the outside of the islands of course.

Augustus, You may have better luck for Spanish just throwing a Clark spoon (ooo) and cranking fast.

Got some Spanish fishing east end SGI yesterday from the beach. With the long rod.
