Re: Are the fish on the flats at St. Marks?

They weren't today... Surely it's not because I suck at fishing. Water was 64 early and warmed up to 70 by the end of the day. I tried west flats, east flats, up into a couple coves and oyster bars with live shrimp, paddle tails, spoons, and spinning baits. One slot trout on a live shrimp under a p...

Thanks looks like one I'll try. I can't get used to braid, everything feels like a bite. :smt011
That’s called sensitivity Greg, it’s a good thing 😂

Re: 'Swamp lilies'

They are blooming. We saw a bunch coming back from St Marks yesterday. I’m happy to share the exact location of where we saw the most if you need it

Re: SKEG Repair

I’ve had my skeg repaired 4 times. Probably broke at the same place (the weld) each time. Not the case Rick you are making assumptions. You are in the minority believe it or not. A skeg guard is an lazy fix. Traps saltwater, it’s ugly and it probably weakens the skeg., really no advantage at all ex...

Re: SKEG Repair

Salty and I had this discussion a long time ago and I think we agreed to disagree. Just a matter of preference imo. I don't believe the two small holes required to mount a skeg guard in the upper and thickest part of a skeg weaken the skeg any more than a weld. The way I see it, there's advantages ...

Re: SKEG Repair

Personally, I'd keep the Skeg Guard. Instead of a shiny chrome look, a welded repair will make it look more like the original but if and when you hit something again, it will probably break at the weld where a Skeg Guard is designed to break off at the bolts holding it on to the lower unit and if a...

Re: SKEG Repair

By the way, there are a lot of people that say a skeg guard weakens the skeg because of the holes you drill weaken it. Also traps salt and sand where it can’t be washed out. If it were me, I’d repair the skeg and toss the guard. Last I had mine done it was $50 good luck Crap that was supposed to be...
