On Friday October 3, 2025, my nephew and I put in at the Light House and soon asked what we were doing going out in this wind. The weather guy said "small craft advisory", but the best time to go fishing is when you can. So, we cleared the Light House jetties and took our time to get to the first ...

Finally dusted the pollen off our Skiff and took a ride out from the light house ramp. Under the word "beautiful" you could have found the weather yesterday. Just enough breeze for a good drift and to keep us cool. The tide was pouring in, so we drifted to the back of a cove (you've probably been ...

Thanks for posting your trip; way inshore. I love to creek fish for reds and it's time to go. Your post has inspired me to wash off the skiff and hit the water.

Thanks for the report. I like hearing the redfish bite is on. Maybe we can get out soon.

Dang, way-to-go Andy. That is a really nice red. Make sure you send out flyers when you start your own guide service.

Thanks for the west flats and creeks report. Great to read that someone is catching fish. And, most important, you took the time to report. We should all follow your example.

Thank you for taking the time to give us an update on your winter fishing trips. It is hard to get out with the first of the year activities and the cold. I was considering trying the Aucilla River. One time we went and stopped by JR's for see if he had any shrimp. It was cold and windy. He looked ...

Good morning Mr. Beard and thanks for "sparking" us to discuss the place that so many of us love and enjoy. I appreciate your saving the earth at the coast and I assume everywhere attitude. If not me, who will pick it up, clean it up and save it up for the future. For my forty plus years of fishing ...

Thanks for sharing your day at St. Marks and beyond. The paddle tail experience tells us to empty the tackle box trying different baits and seeing what "they" want today. Good post; keep em coning.

What a great report and day of fishing What times supper? Thanks for posting.

You made a couple of smart moves and caught supper. Thanks for posting.

We went to the Lighthouse landing about 7;30 to launch and head east, hoping the wind would be a little calmer: NOT. But we did get more familiar with Grey Mare and surrounding area. Cast our way toward shore and went up a creek to get out of the wind and see if any fish were around. Turned a corner ...

The coffee is still brewing east of the lighthouse. Went up a creek and the coffee was strong and black; no cream and I didn't taste it for sugar. Water temp was 83 and even in the creek the wind was pushing us around. Did catch supper. Hope this helps.

Don't you just love it when a Zebco 33 comes through. That is a great fish and a great memory for your young fishman. Thanks for taking him fishing and thank him of letting her go.

Thanks for the post. That's what it's all about: fish, fun and fellowship. Ande, not in that order.
