Trying to decide what to do.
I've loved this 2100 Wahoo Offshore since I got it. Cruises nicely at 32 mph (41 mph WOT) with a 200 hp Suzuki I added 4 years ago. I've fished hundreds of hours out on the flats, up the East River, and offshore on nice days.
I re-did the front deck and fore stringers ...

I went out of St Marks yesterday for a quick morning fishing trip before work. No one had live shrimp, so I was casting artificials and using pinfish under a cork. A few bumps on the soft plastics, but I caught 2 good trout on the pins. I also had two other good trout on, and they seemed to be ...

Same for me on Sunday. I feel like I don't have a good strategy for picking spots to fish on the flats east of the lighthouse. I try to drift across different depths, and sometimes I wander into a school & sometimes I come up empty. Not asking for your spots, but anyone have a better strategy?

I always look forward to catching big sheepshead in March off the 24 Barge or other nearshore structure. Other times of year I catch them near oyster bars inshore. But that's a long trip to spawn. Are there spots they stop when staging or moving to or from the spawn?

I'm confused. I caught and kept an ARS that last weekend, but I threw 2 red grouper back. Didn't they close the red grouper season?

Great post! At least you found some trout

SeaTow has automated radio checks, I think channel 27 or 28 depending on location

I didn't find 'em on the bars today, but I caught a trout on the flats. Water temp was 71 degrees. A buddy said he caught bluefish and Spanish Mackerel on the deeper flats. Made me think the March pattern had moved up to February, and sure enough I caught 2 big sheepshead on my favorite nearshore ...

Well here's today's report for me. Super windy, super low tide, but the East River gave up a few nice ones. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230205/ce1a04797874e7cd24f2aaea6e42205d.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230205/9e3135534cdce6e57aeea99779af1088.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com ...

I suppose there's no chance they'll ever put cell transmitters on the old Air Force Towers?
