Looks like Cedar Key at low tide! The curb at the end of the ramp is almost out of the water.

The worst thing to me in those conditions is that the mist keeps my glasses fogged up to where it is a pain in the ass and I’m nearly blind without them. I guess just a part of paying your dues! That was happening to me last Saturday with my sunglasses. If I pulled them further down away from my ey...

It was pretty eerie not being able to se the next channel marker!

Yesterday the water was 69.5 degrees and I'm sure you had issues with the wind in a kayak! We only caught one catfish.

That's about as low as I've ever seen it!

Great report! Nothing beats some fresh fried mullet, red roe, eggs and grits for breakfast!

Google says it's mostly flat! Can you camp at the National Park?

I agree!

That sounds like Newport Bridge! If you get off the end of the ramp you aren't getting back up!

Might have to push the boat off the trailer with that low tide. If the wind if from the southeast it shouldn't be super low.

You, a dirt bag?

Nice report! I think the water temp around there 2 weeks ago was 64. Must be cooling off more on the flats.

I will say that overall the number of folks fishing St. Marks these days is ridiculous. (and sad to an old-timer like me) That's why I was shocked at the lack of boat trailers at the lighthouse ramp. Maybe the tide was too low for anyone that knows the conditions. It was just high enough for my boa...

I had the same problem on Saturday. We fished around the mouth of the St Marks with shrimp, artificial, and a gold spoon. Nothing biting except a half size trout. I think we got there too late because the forecast I use said the best time was about an hour before high tide. I saw several boats, but ...
