I switched to a stainless steel prop a few years ago and it has worked great - better speed and handling - and so far no problems with bars or rocks.

Try the end of the rock jetty, the natural channel runs right past the west end.

I usually keep mine off but Wevans makes a great point, in the future will keep it on. It 'listens' good but I have never been real sure how far my handheld unit can broadcast.

Lots of bait fish in the bay. Caught some decent sharks in East Past on Dog Island side, other than that a couple of Ladyfish, some Cats and one 17.5 inch Red.

This weekend we saw a double row of booms along the backside of SGI screening off the bay at the state park boat ramp, more down by Marsh Island, and some preliminary layout for booms across East Pass. When we looked up close a couple of commercial fishing boats came to tell us we should not jump ov...

For the record I support the Florida Marine Patrol. It would be chaos out there without them. But you need to be ready for anything when a strange boat approaches.

Kevin's is an excellent sporting good store. Wish they would relocate to the central or south part of town, traffic up there is a cluster and parking the truck can be tight.

I am wondering if it is feasible to put up a series of oil barriers from Ochlocknee Bay to the Aucilla? Is there any kind of local preparation for that if it becomes necessary? It looks like the oil might stay pushed north and northwest for a few days so there is some time to organize. http://magics...

What a nightmare scenario. If a large volume of that oil is swept onto the big bend shoreline we are screwed. It could take years for the marsh, sea grass, fish and birds to recover, the dependent local economy maybe never. Meanwhile this is a huge financial hit on BP and the whole oil production in...

I take some crazy cruises but would not try that.

Good job Casey from old whaler guy.

I like it.

Hey SS-342. I may be off course on this but does your handle refer to the USS Chopper? That is the sub that accidentally went full dive off of Cuba to under 1,000 feet and somehow survived. My ol' Navy Dad used to talk about it, among others he spent time on SS-320, the Bergall.
