Out of Indian Pass on a S/SW bearing the 100ft waters start near the 20 mile mark, shy of the 20 mile mark and all you get is sandy bottom in the 80-95ft range. I saw about four shrimp boats on Wednesday and two large fish trawlers at anchor in the 80-95 ft waters, but they didn't seem to affect the...

Out Indian Pass 05/05 - 07/05
Took advantage of high pressure over the gulf and searched the 100ft plus waters for snapper. On Wednesday my wife went along for the ride and three red snapper, a couple of lane snapper and one four foot sharp entered the icebox, along with several bluefish which would leave my bait jigs alone. A s...

Haven't been on a head boat in a couple of years, used to jump a head boat once a year for nostalgia out of Panama City near Capt. Anderson's restaurant. My uncle used to take me out on the Florida Queen when I about eight or nine years old. Best advice on the head boat is avoid weekends and holiday...

Thanks
Thanks for the info EddieJoe. Now if the good Lord will bless the week of May 4th with a high pressure system over the Big Bend maybe we can enjoy a full week of good fishing and calm seas.

Dog Island Reef
I've been thinking about fishing around the Dog Island Reef, just to see what was out there. Based upon my charts, Dog Island reef is about 7miles southeast of Lanark boat ramp or about 4 miles off the east tip of Dog Island. But it looks like coming out of Carrabelle would be a better bet than havi...

Plotting the triangle & 30s
Thanks again Tom. I've got an assortment of Stretch 30's to troll and I'll use my #53 Maptech chart and the Furuno 600 to find the hard bottom. One more question, do you tie your Stretch 30s directly to an 80# plus leader or do you use a short wire leader. I've had a couple of lures fall prey to the...

Thanks, Tom
Thanks Tom,
Any suggestions on where to look (generally speaking of course) for Grouper?

Miss Jem and One More Time
I am working up some float plans for my upcoming week off to fish (May4-11) and was wondering if hitting the following sites would be worthwhile: specifically Miss Jem, Carabelle Reef Barge, the C Tower or the Apalachicola City(which I believe is a sunken barge). My fish of preference is grouper or ...

Wind, 4-footers and short fish
Went out of Mexico Beach today (didn't want to chance Apalachicola Bay being whitecapped) about 12kt winds, 47degrees, & what looked like short interval 4-footers :-? (one NOAA source recorded 4.9 and 5.2s during the time I was out). I had intentions of going to the 18-mile bridge spans, but pla...

Best bets for Saturday
NOAA is predicting 2ft or less for Saturday :D and I've got a spare day, so anyone have suggestions for the best bets out of Carrabelle or Apalach. Are the grouper still in the 30'-50' water or should we look for structure in the 90'-120' range? I'm still learning the Big Bend terrain, so I could us...

Fishing on the right and chuming on the left
My wife is a real trooper always willing to go off-shore fishing with me when no fishing buds are available - and she's good while running off shore, but as soon as we cut to idle - she cuts into the chuming mood. :-? Fishing on the right and chuming on the left, then she heads for the bow with pill...

Running speeds versus the seas
Laying aside bragging rights about how our boats can hit 45-plus speeds on a flat bay, I am interested in what folks consider common sense speeds heading off-shore in 1-2, 2-3 or even 3-4 foot seas - taking into consideration that 4 second wave intervals deserve more consideration than 14-second wav...
