Re: Did anyone from GA get told to go home this weekend?
Some of the ramblings on here about the "illegal" actions of closing boat ramps are just insane. It sucks, but it's well within the purview of whichever controlling jurisdiction is at play to shut down public access facilities for any number of reasons. Renovations, cleaning, public safet...

Re: Rental at Keaton?
Those small cabins right next to the public ramp are not bad. They can handle the number of folks you are talking about and you are ready to go in the morning with no travel. - Steve Stinson . Do you have a good phone number for them? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Beach Realty in Keaton...

Increase the limit on Cobia or leave it alone completely. I no longer trust your skewed data and that is my input.

Re: Apalachicola River
It is shallow in several spots. The riverkeeper can give you some good info on when is a good time to make the trip. It has to do with how much flow is coming out of Jim Woodruff dam. If I remember correctly, it was somewhere close to 12K CFS to allow for the river to be deep enough to avoid any iss...

Re: New proposed trout regulations
I'd like to see trout classified as a game fish. Limits stay as are, or reduced to 4 no less. A January-February closure, IMHO would be great for the fishery.

Re: Purchase Power
All of what you said may be true, but we all choose where we spend our money. I don’t want money made off of me to go to overturn the net ban. I don’t want money made off of me to pay lawyers to fight this...I will pay 40 cents more a gallon for gas at Rocky’s. They also employ locals. SK didn’t se...

Re: Purchase Power
In November 1994, 72 percent of Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment banning the use of indiscriminate gill and entangling nets from state waters. This vital conservation initiative resulted in a resurgence of mullet and other critical bait stocks, eliminated the unintended by-catch o...

Re: Passive-Aggressive in St Marks Refuge
I winged a 4 ounce swimbait into the side of a bass boat in the St Marks River that ran within 15-20 yards me (while I was in a KAYAK no less) at about 30 mph and almost swamped me. Made a satisfying "THWACK!" you could hear for a hundred yards and most definitely took off some clear coat...

Re: Passive-Aggressive in St Marks Refuge
Never said or suggested any of the asinine ideas you guys quoting me, suggested. Such condescension from the holier than thou crowd. Guess I didn't make clear, there are two different deep troughs that lead into this creek, and the boat could have easily gone behind where I was casting OR EASILY go...

Re: Passive-Aggressive in St Marks Refuge
So I guess my question as a somewhat new comer (less than 5 years) to the big bend area is how do I get past you? normally if I need to get past someone and I'm going to come closer than 1.5 cast lengths i'll just go ahead and put my trolling motor down and ease past if there is no other way? is th...

Re: Creek mouth fishing
As not to further hijack Gary’s thread. I was curious what y’all do when someone is fishing a creekmouth that you want to get in to. I understand not all creeks are the same. Some are small with only a bend or two and some are huge like stony bayou, deep and porpoise creeks, bear creek, chairs cree...

Re: Passive-Aggressive in St Marks Refuge
Just a couple observations: 1st.. If you're anchored in the mouth of a creek you should probably pick up and move out of the way when you see a boat headed in your direction.. They may not know that there's a safe way around you and would stay in the center of the creek channel. Even if you didn't ...

Re: Passive-Aggressive in St Marks Refuge
In February I was anchored in the mouth of a creek a few miles south of the Steinhatchee River, as there was already a boat in the creek and I didn't want to disturb them, so I stayed at the mouth. Had been there a little while when 2 men and woman motored up. I'm in the shallow water fishing the de...

Re: Dark Island ramp
I have a friend that has a house on Dark Island and will not use the ramp there. Too shallow to have consistent access in a 201 Bay Scout. He puts in at the Keaton Beach ramp. I trust his knowledge of the area as this house he bought from his dad which they've owned for more than 30 years that I kno...
