Hey anybody know how all the rain recently will affect those tasty mollusks I plan on hunting all day Monday??? I heard they are fairly sensitive to salinity changes, will this rain keep them off the flats longer or in deeper water?? I'm probably heading out Monday no matter what, but I'd sure appre...

Yeah I definitely got lucky. I don't fish there alot cause I don't have a boat ( I got a canoe so more in the winter). That's the first time I've ever been there and found fish at the first spot. I was about to pull up and move and.... wham they moved in on me. There's certainly no lack of good spot...

Had to take a break and tell you all about my weekend. I had a buddy's boat for Sat and Sun. Sat headed down to Alligator harbor in hopes of finding some trout over the grass. I had no problem netting some nice size pins and one Mullet at about two pounds. Feeling good cause at least I got a mullet....

Hey as for leaders.... I have been using 100# mono all spring and summer on both spoons and live pinfish. I haven't noticed the trout givin a thought to whether I got 10# or 100, and this means the spanish get in the boat more often too. Were you guys over off the mashes sand side only, or did you v...

I still got a valid pass from last sun, and was thinking of driving down there from Tally tomorrow. My usuall suspects are all bailing on me. Let me know by 5 today, I probably won't check back once I get home.

Hey Tom.... UHm Sometimes I have logged on and I reply to a message, then the next topic I look at I'm not logged in anymore. Also when I log in I usually forget to log out. Are any of these things problems to you? I just want to make sure I'm not clogging up your space or anything. and if you haven...

Hey, both replies are good. The article Tom mentioned is a great start, but there are a couple of places it misses, if I remember correctly. One, Bald point on Ocklocknee bay. the oyster bar here is massive, you can almost wade the whole way across the bay. Lost of reds if you can succesfully freeli...

Wade fished the oyster bars off of bald point yesterday. I got there just before high tide and fished the slack to outgoing untill about 7:30. Live shrimp under a cajun thunder were gettig me lots of ladyfish. Yeah they're fun to catch, but not worth cleaning, so I switched to the ever trusty Crocad...

yeah you should. Make sure you get out between the islands though. You'll spend less time sorting through the small ones. Also I just talked to the guy who sent us there in the first place. He told me we didn't go out far enough for the spanish. there is a marker way out (about another 1-2 miles pas...

So after hearing all the reports, my buddy an me had to get out yesterday afternoon for the Macs!!! Well We never found em, but Man did we find some healthy trout. Wakulla beach between the islands. These Trout were taking live pinfish hard. The water in between the islands was much clearer than any...

Hey, I had a slow, but encouraging day over at alligator harbor. I got there about 11:30, and started at the dirt boat ramp. the water had to be above 70. I would say 75, but I didn't have a thermometer. I can say I was only in a t-shirt and shorts in waist deep all day and never got chilled. the ti...

So just don't get reported eh?.... :idea:

thanks again for the info, though I can't immagine camping in this weather!!!!

on 3/8 vs 1/2....

well do most of the menhaden you catch get gilled in the netting or do you catch them clean. Alternatively you could measure some next time you catch them. Sounds like loads of fun
let me know how it all turns out, I might just change my mind about the deeper water.

I forgot what I really wanted to ask, sorry...

Gizmo, if the vacation pass to the gate is 24/7, can folks camp on the beach @ east pass? I promise to not to leave a trace when I leave. Does the state park have a policy about fires on the beach?

thanks alot for the expert knowledge.

I would plan on getting in and out of the boat ramps on the island at high tide. Was there 3 weeks ago, with a small john boat and still had to get out and walk it about 300 to 400' after getting 50' away from the ramp itself. A wild life officer out there at the time said both sides were the same. ...
