bump for reduced price

Hoping this weekend is better!
Wind from the NW at 10knts though

Shell Island is closed, the fort ramp is closed, and Shields was the available ramp, so we trailered the boat there and launched. We trailer very infrequently, so it's never fun. In the river, while some channel markers are there, plenty are not, so use your chart to make sure you don't dig up an oy...

I was at Shell Island Fish Camp today- they indicated maybe two more weeks for limited marina facilities ( in/out for storage customers ) The water level from Michael was higher than any previous hurricanes noted on the door to the shop. It will definitely take some time for it to get back to it's n...

Yesterday, I had time to fish, and wanted to see what conditions were like down in St. Marks as well. My first stop was Shell Island Fish Camp, which is where I normally keep my boat. The fish camp is still in clean-up mode, and the staff expects that it will be up to a week before they resume mari...

Any updates on Shell Island Fish Camp? Their phones are still down.

Pictures coming this weekend, as long as the National Guard and the FHP let me in!

Well, I'm certainly taking another run at it this weekend.
Might try to run out to Ochlocknee Shoals.

Fished this weekend on the west flats. Had 3 young men fishing with me. Funny how if you have 3 pretty young women staying at the house, boys just start showing up. Anyway we fished the rising tide after breakfast and it was rougher than expected. water is still very tannin and there was a lot of f...
