As I reported in the Inshore Forum last month, I fished Steinhatchee the first part of May and again the week before Memorial Day and I really didn’t see any. Granted I was concentrating on fishing and was in mostly water 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 ft deep. The water and grass were beautiful and I noticed a ...

Also, forgot to report that I’m talking a big ole tarpon rolled about 100 ft from my boat Friday morning but i had just thrown my topwater in a different direction and by the time I could get it in guessing he’d moved on. I was more than willing to sacrifice that Skitterwalk just to see one jump ...

Yeah, seems like I heard some other fishermen say that the floating grass was bad down south. I went N both days and there were strips of floating grass that were thick and random floating grass pretty much everywhere but not terrible and heck at least on Friday morning if I didn’t pick up some ...

Took a quick solo trip back to the Hatch to try the trout one more time before the madness of Scallop Season begins. Believe me it was worth every inch of the drive. The weather was perfect and the tides were right for what I love to do the most, topwater. Morning low tide was before dawn so rising ...

Just got back from 3 beautiful days fishing at Steinhatchee. My wife and I headed down late Sunday to try for some trout and whatever else might wanta bite. Monday we headed N , weather was great sunny and just enough wind to drift well. Only problem was the fish didn’t seem to want to cooperate ...

Cool post and great pics both under and above water. As a poor ole Ga boy 200+ miles from where I love to fish( just not often enough) I really appreciate these posts. Can sorta live vicariously!

Here on beautiful St. George Island for a family beach week with some bay fishing thrown in. Speaking of beach, yesterday for some reason there was a TON of sea grass that had blown up into the first 20 yds of the surf and pockets further out. My son was trying anyhow and when hauling in his line ...

Seems like winds have moved to later in the year, used to be March when you’d catch those but our April trip to the Hatch last year was absolutely the same weather wise. Think I’ll change my planning strategy to trying to make reservations only couple days out in the future. I’m mostly retired and ...

Well I said I’d send post on my trip so here goes. BLOWN OUT! That’s it.

My wife and I got here Monday afternoon and got the boat in and tackle ready for Tuesday morning which dawned with the wind STRONG only to get worse. Steady around 15 gusts 20-25 and that was by far the best day. We did make ...

Thx for the post, looks like y’all had a beautiful day. Sorry the big ones didn’t cooperate. My wife and I are headed to Steinhatchee Monday for several days and super excited to just cruise those beautiful flats. Don’t get me wrong, sure hoping to catch some fish as we love trout filets. If anyone ...

Yeah, don’t have to fill the cooler to post about a fishing trip. Most of us just like to hear about adventures however they turn out. I thought it was sorta about exchanging information good, bad, or ugly. Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful so you know there are some lucky folks going so maybe ...

I agree! I had not seen any posts in such a long time I even reached out to the site moderator to see if it was still viable ( course never heard from them either). Realize it may not be the best time of the year with weather but you know there are some hardy souls that are venturing out and when ...

Well, my son, grandson ,and I did make it to St. Marks yesterday. Got boat in water about 9:30 and tried slow trolling some swim baits as we headed towards mouth of river, no luck. Not many boats in river maybe 10 or so. We next tried the insides of several bars at river mouth same results so headed ...

200 views and no replies, know it’s not necessarily peak season but surely someone has wet a hook. I ended up not being able to make it but my son and a friend went. Wind was apparently gusting 20+ easy so trolling and anchoring tuff. They showed fish stacked up in deep holes but those wouldn’t bite ...

Son and I hoping to maybe try the river at St. Mark’s tomorrow if the rain passes as supposed to. Has anybody been giving it a shot? Have any fish made it into the river? Just not that familiar with St Marks as living in Georgia just not down there often. We did go last year later in season and tore ...
