I was thinking Saturday would have been a great day with all the sunshine. Ya'll wore um out. Not sure that we will be able to fish the tourney either. We shall see.

We were on the lake Saturday. K & K was pretty dead. Beautiful day though.

So, I had plans all week to hit up the Aucilla with my buddy Javan. He has been itching to get out there and has been feeling a bit ashamed for being a "no show" on our last scheduled trip. He didn't show. :smt005 Get this, even after calling him multiple times Sunday morning to make sure ...

The creeks that shoot off of the St. Marks just below the Fort will hold your finger mullet. I tend to do better netting when the tide i...

Fantastic!

You are in both Nina and my thoughts! Get well soon Steve.

My wife Nina and I launched at the Aucilla and fished West. Hit up some creeks and got 2 reds that were just shy of 26"s. We had also caught 1 trout that was 17"s. Knowing we needed to upgrade the trout we moved into a "creek of choice" and hooked up on a good un'. Fished hit a M...

Very nice. Gonna have to step up your game for this weekend.
