I agree with Steve. I fish that area quite a bit. the water is really stained right now and the fishing was tough over the 4th of July. Good luck and post a report.

Nicely done! We found the boats, but not the scallops at St Marks.

Slim pickings.

I did not scout them, but did look for them today. The navy was out in force. We moved a bunch of times and the 7 of us picked up about 25 scallops total. Tough day, but at least it was calm early.

Grass is frustrating. I usually throw a twitch bait and I switch to a popping cork rig when the grass is bad. I agree with Apalachee Inshore that I slow down my action a lot so I don't spend all of my time pulling weeds. On the plus side, we just caught a big cobia out from under a big grass mat.

Water visibility was 6-8" at Shell Point/Live Oak last Saturday. Waves were 3-4' so I did not go any further east. Had a buddy fish Ecofina yesterday and he said you will not be able to see scallops from the boat. Have to get in the water and look which can be a slow process.

Well done. I fished with my buddy Joe on the afternoon falling tide. We took a beating from the wind and waves. Managed 5 short trout, 2 ladyfish, 5 catfish, and a puffer. Water visibility was about 8 inches. Did have a great hamburger at Outz on the way home.

Nicely done. We finally caught a legal cobia this year and they are fun. Great post.

Nice!

Thanks BBG. I cut all the color off the filets beforehand. I then cut the filets into steaks about 1.5" thick, rubbed them with olive oil, garlic salt and lemon pepper and cooked them 2 minutes a side on a 425 degree grill. Drizzled with lemon butter. The crew ate all I cooked. Texture is a lot...

We had to move a lot, but ended up with 9 trout and 5 Spanish between the 4 of us. Did catch a bonus cobia which made the day.

Have not had a chance to fish much with my son's graduation and all the events that surrounded that event, but had a chance to go with him yesterday. I managed to get him out of the house around 8 am and we drove down to the coast. We had a great conversation and he talked about all of the trips we ...

20 lb power pro on a 30 series reel with 18" of 30 lb fluorocarbon leader. Trout were caught in 3-6 feet of water.

Went down to the coast Saturday about lunchtime for a little saltwater therapy. My son slept in so I ended up fishing alone. I launched and ran to my first spot with no luck. Spot number two yielded two shorts and a hardhead. It was windy, but I decided to make another move. I ran a line of crab tra...
