FWC Training

Does anyone know about a training exercise at St. Marks on Tuesday? We happened to drive by the boat ramp by the old fort, I keep it right on the boat but it would have freaked me out had I navigated on by maybe seven high powered boats and 25 officers! :D 8) https://i.imgur.com/JmkatHN.jpg https://...

I thumped that thing with my skeg a few weeks ago - what function does it serve?

Re: Fog

I launched at the lighthouse during a low tide last week - could barely see 200' - oyster bars in the East River would become visible through the mist like mountain ranges. Boat traffic was practically non-existent which is fortunate since sound can be hard to interpret in the fog. But you know what...

Re: Water condition

The water clarity was so-so near the St. Marks lighthouse yesterday three small trout was it for me but the birds seemed happy!

Missing Boater Located on St. Vincent Island

You all probably saw this but what a scary story. It seems a boat capsized near West Pass late Thursday and very fortunately was located on St.Vincent Island this morning. I sure as heck would not want to spend a cold, wet night along the shoreline there. The bugs and and who knows what wild critter...

Re: The flats are heating up and cooling off!

Went out 11/1 2021. Headed east of the lighthouse and stopped at a close flat while waiting for the tide to get in. Picked up a couple of short trout, bite was very slow. Headed to a hump about two miles from the party bar. Found excellent water clarity. Approximately 6 feet visibility with very li...

Re: Bottom's Road 10-26-21

Have an ole buddy in from Texas who wanted to catch a red fish. We loaded the skiff and headed out to Panacea. Got some bait and ice and drove out to Bottom's Road. Got there about 7:30am and motored to the outside of Piney Island to fish the shoreline. Had barely settled in when a red (we think) t...

Re: East Point fishing

I didn't get all the way around to the East Point channel, but coming out of Indian Creek into the bay was very shallow. I couldn't find a deeper spot so I just idled out about 300 yards until I got in deeper water. So much to see in that area! In a dream summer a few years ago we had access to a b...
