I think there are some pretty productive reefs just a few miles out of St Andrew Pass. On the Emerald Waters fishing show, he catches Red Snapper, Amberjacks within sight of the beach. Looks like he’s about 3-5 miles out. I think he’s fishing a sunk plane. You can launch inside the park. If its too...

Assuming Dorian turns North & doesn’t interfere with things, we’re headed to Panama City Beach Wednesday-Sunday. I was thinking about taking my boat to try fishing in the bay, near-shore, or offshore (another assumption is my wife will let me). I’ve never fished that area, but have been out of M...

It’s August, so I didn’t have high expectations. Mostly wanted to get out early, watch the sunrise, and drain the stress tanks. Saw a ton of mullet along the grass lines West of the lighthouse. No redfish wanted to participate. Had a few ladyfish play with my topwater. Caught a Jack and more ladyfis...

You’d rather go to Montana than stay in Pelham? LOL
Have fun & safe travels.

Got invited on a charter with St. Marks Outfitters. My oldest son & I with a friend and his son. Capt. Mike always makes things fun & educational. Started out at Dog Ballard. Picked up a 32in cobia, several remoras, a flounder, and a couple of Jacks. Saw several eagle rays and some jumbo sea...

I’ve never trolled for kings in St. Marks. We had a lot of success early last summer trolling cigar minnows (on a triple hook set up under a duster) along the buoy line out of Mexico Beach. It’s only 20-30 ft. deep in that area (deeper in the channel). See attached pic of that exact area. I’ve alway...

nice cobia! So how did you get it in the boat with no net and no gaff? Hand in mouth/ gills? Well . . . . I scratched my head and looked around for any close by boats that might be willing to help. Seeing none, I put one hand in the gills and grabbed the tail with the other - then jerked him up int...

I wish I had a GoPro that could have captured me running around the boat, knocking stuff overboard, then landing this fish with no net & no gaff! Nice fish, still waiting on my first cobia. Your above quote reminded me of a previous post about a green cobia. Read the post below for one of the f...

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190717/839bc3a52efc7c2b19269c7b366e3890.jpg Landed my first cobia today. 42 inches. Quite a story that involved me dropping my net, my gaff, and then almost my rod in the water trying to fight and land this fish. I decided to go out by myself early this am. 7 am m...

Certainly a learning opportunity for everyone, myself included. After the accident in St. Marks earlier this year, I have used my kill switch and life-jackets while underway religiously - and I owe that to this forum. What do most folks out there use in terms of ditch bags, inflatable rafts, epirb, ...

Sure - I’ll take the knife. PM sent. Thanks.

3 keeper trout . . . 2 between 14-15in, several shorts, one keeper flounder before my boys were ready to go.

We're not expert fishermen by any means, but it sure is fun trying to figure out the patterns!!

Water temps down from last week. I was seeing 69 - 71 on the West flats. A little warmer later and as we drifted shallower. Only fished for a couple of hours (about 1-3) with my two sons. Steady bite, but didn’t find any honey holes. All caught on paddle tails swimming above the grass. Water seems t...
