My son will be home on leave this weekend. Wanting to run out and catch a few trout if possible. Anybody fished the flats in the last few days? Id be very grateful for a report. Will only have a few hours to fish so wanna go out with a plan. Thanks in advance!

Ive got the Ultera (self deploy) model and can't say enough about it. Having the ability to deploy the motor and trim the motor up or down from anywhere on the boat is very cool. The track mode is perfect for drift fishing on the flats. Start getting into fish, simply start the track and it will rep...

Thanks Silver King. Very grateful!

Gonna run out Monday morning. Guy's, if you are fishing St. Marks this weekend, Id be grateful for an update. Wanna try fishing up the river but just don't know with this warm weather. Anyway, grateful for posts.
Thanks,

Fished St. Marks yesterday. Launched at the Fort. Ran up past the power plant to the third bend in the river. Water temp still a little too high. 65.5 in the A.M. Ran out to long bar and threw everything we had from top water, gulp, spoons and live shrimp. Ended up with 2 short trout. Not complainin...

Where bouts in Shell Point is the new boat ramp?

To get to the power plant, put in at Shields or at the Fort. Go left and power plant just up on your left. Trout and reds come up into the river and great fishing. I usually troll from the power plant to up around the third bend in the river with a paddle tail grub on a jig head. Bottom fishing with...

Anybody tried fishing up the St. Marks river by the power plant yet this year? Going Friday and thinking about giving it a try. Usually starts to pick up when the water temp gets in the mid-low 60"s.

Inshore, Couple of Bucks Charters. Captain is John Grogan. Reef and off shore was Miss Chief Charters. Captain Dan Mathews.

Just got back from 3 days of fishing in the Keys. Did one day on the flats, one day reef fishing and one day off shore. Absolutely amazing! Caught a limit of nice trout and mangrove snapper on the first day. On the second day, limited out on yellow tail snapper and got a 30lb black grouper. Third da...

I keep my boat at Stowaway Marine in Crawfordville. $53.00 per month and gated with security code. Good people to do business with.

I launch from there 2 or 3 times a week and rarely any issue getting in and out. With that said, winter time is a different story with negative low tides. If launch at low (or near low tide), back in slowly. If you feel your are bumping into something backing up, STOP and either push your boat off b...

Moving and changed boats. Got Bimini top (I think 6') and two clam shell pedestal seats and will give them to anyone who thinks they could get some use out of them. Just P.M. me. I live in Southwood (S.E. Tallahassee).
Thanks,

Wanting to buy a shallow water anchor. Need feedback on Talon VS Power Pole.

Pinfish are certainly abundant. I use a Sabiki (only three hooks to cut down on tangles) and use a very small piece of gulp on the hook). Can find the pins easily on the grass regardless of water depth. Suggest you fish 7' to 9' of water. Great place to start is around the stake lines. Just need to ...
