My third battery is an interstate and its still going strong for year 2. I bought it from Costco for about the same price as I paid for the Walmart batteries so I will go with those from now on. Another question, the cranking battery is not in a box and it gets a lot of corrosion on it (I have a cen...

How long are you all getting out of trolling and cranking batteries? I have a cranking battery and a trolling battery that is just over a year and a half old with limited use and its already bad. It is a Walmart battery (Which I will never buy again).

I am headed to fish panacea in the next few days and was going to put in a Rock Landing. I've never fished out of there before, anything I need to be aware of, places to avoid? A fishing report wouldn't hurt either!

How is the ramp at the st. Marks lighthouse? I usually put in at the state park but I will have the baby girl with me so I'm trying to shorten my ride. Is there plenty of parking? I've heard it's pretty shallow. My boat has a 10-12" draft so I figure I'll be safe. Thanks in advance

Well me and a buddy put in the water about 745 this morning at shields. We started out in 3-4 foot of water about a mile east of the last channel marker. Caught one undersized trout on a white doa under a popping cork, caught another on a gold spoon. We had some strikes on a white skitter walk but w...

Anybody been out to St. Marks this week and have a fishing report?

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will stick with everyone's advice and follow the safe route out there. Better to be safe than sorry. Maybe if I get to know the water a little better I can try some of the other routes that y'all stated. I have several different charts including navionics and Ga...

Went scalloping out of St. Marks with some friends this weekend. Hadn't ever been on my own boat so I figured it was best to follow somebody that knew where they were going. My friends boat draws about 3 foot so after passing the last channel marker he swung out a ways where it was a little deeper. ...

Put in at the public landing right down from shields (st marks state park?) about 9 am. Parking lot and the side of the road was already full of trucks/trailers. Boat traffic was heavy going out and when we got on the scalloping grounds there were 100+ boats. Luckily we went to a spot past the crow...

Lanark boat ramp is a zoo right now. Scallop season is in full swing. Out of town Tarpon Guide season is at max. Rigs were parked a 1/4 mile up and down HW98 last Saturday. Cbelle has 2 nice free public ramps and a deep marked channel that is easy to navigate. I am going to be down there during the...

Is there anything to worry about boating out of Lanark and fishing around the reef or dog island? Can I get out and run my boat in the area? Anything spots to avoid?
