I got some Blacktip from you and did the back part of my tin boat. It has help up better than the hull! I'll take pictures tomorrow if I remember.

Thanks for the info! I'll be staying on the east side of the Hathaway Bridge so I plan on checking out the bay side. If the water is calm I might go out a few miles to scout for fish.

Does anybody have experience with the Carl Gray Park in Panama City? I am going to that area next weekend and wanted to find a place to launch the boat. Any other tips for fishing and sight seeing are appreciated as well.

Would that allow for the largest fish caught to be overslot, or does that depend on individual tournament rules?

I found 8!

I think we were too shallow. I'm going to 5-7' of water next time we go out.

We got an early (ish) start on Saturday at 9:30 and hunted the elusive bay scallop until around 2. We found them very sparse close to the lighthouse and moved more east toward the old Grey Mare. As we moved east there were none to be found. Did anyone else have similar outcome?

Too late

Most likely the Lighthouse, unless I can park my boat overnight at Shell Island.

I plan on being in the Grey Mare area Saturday around lunch. I'm going to drift around some to scout areas away from the crowd.

I went fishing out of Econfina with a friend two weeks ago and we caught 4 shorts. The biggest one was 17.5" They were hiding under a crab trap buoy!

I'm glad the St Marks zone isn't opening early this year. Those little guys need more time to grow! I might go scouting this weekend.

I heard there are asphalt machines at the ramp so they are probably resurfacing the road and parking lot.

It looks like they updated the post.

Monday thru Friday beginning June 13,2022 THRU June 21,2022 .
it will be Open for the weekend from what we are being told at this time.

How can you tell if they have worms without cleaning them?
