Re: St. Marks??

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.

Re: St. Marks??

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

Re: Ruger Mini 14

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/

Re: Hello, new here

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

Re: Pat McGriff's fishing tips.

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.

Re: Scalloping................................................

Has anyone ever tried scalloping around Cedar Key? I have pulled wild clams there but never looked for a scallop. It seems like there's plenty of shallow spots with grass.

Re: 1st Inshore Trip 2023

Sounds like my experience from last Saturday. We did manage 1 Trout that was barely over 15" but several sail cats, ladyfish and some weird looking "grunt" a few big fish that didn't get close to the boat and several small sharks. Glad it will be scallop season soon because the fishin...

Re: Triple Tail in the Bay

Started to seek a different species ... I have never targeted Triple Tail, but a friend and I noticed some around a crab trap buoy last year and put 4 of them in the boat. They were all too short so they got to get back in the water to grow a little more. I've always wondered about anchoring out a ...

Re: Get some reports started

Great report! I haven't been finding any legal size fish recently, but it sounds like the water has cooled off a degree or 2.

I call that one the original as well because I worked there from 90 to 93. I have a plank of siding from the building, but never got my hands on a sign.
