That was before Facebook

Great report! Water temp in Big Pass this past weekend was 72, but only catfish wanted to get on the hook. Water looked the color of southern sweat tea.

Where did you find decent water clarity on Sunday? All the water I saw looked like coffee!

I think the Lighthouse channel was 1.8' on my Garmin around 10:30 Saturday.

My girlfriend and I went Saturday. Got to the Lighthouse ramp about 10:30 and had just enough water to get the boat out. Fished around the Long Bar and in the East River with no good bites. Headed over toward Wakulla Beach and started catching some short Reds and Trout. Ended the day with one Red at...

I took the boat out Sunday afternoon 3-31. Stayed near the Lighthouse on the long bar and up in the East River. Caught a few catfish and a ladyfish. Not a great day fishing, but it was a great day to be on the boat! Interesting that the icon next to this thread indicates that it is a hot topic, but ...

I went out on Saturday around Big Pass and then to Goose Creek. All we caught was one short red. Water temp was between 55 and 57.

I haven't been fishing since the Saturday after Thanksgiving so I don't know what the recent rains have done to the water. This Saturday looks like it will be a good day to try. High tide is at 12:21 and wind should be below 10mph

I've always wanted a Mini 14 in stainless. There are many different opinions on the Mini 14 firing 5.56, but I believe it's ok to use 5.56 in the standard model. Unless the NRA Edition falls into the Target Model chamber size. https://www.rugerforum.net/threads/can-my-mini-14-shoot-a-556-round.135345/

I wish it had the i-Pilot!

Welcome! There are plenty of spots to fish with a 19' boat unless you want to target snapper or grouper. Check out Navionics and get an idea of where the hot spots are. It helps to learn the names of different features in the area. https://webapp.navionics.com/#boating@6 ... 0yDz%60aaO

Might need a flashlight this weekend!

I haven't been in that area recently. Might need to go look around! Thanks for the report.

I didn't take any pictures, but it was rather dark.

I don't know where to find any old articles, but here's an interesting interview with him and Apalachee Inshore Charters a while back.
