Re: Wife’s morning hunt 11/25/20

Congratulations! Two in one hunt is not very common and even more rare to take a stud like that!

What are you feeding those deer?

Re: Fishing this weekend Nov 21 -22 near St marks

IF you run 7 miles East of the lighthouse and "go North" you better have the right boat and/or good insurance. ;-) Yeah, I've been around that area and always fear going towards shore. I marked a rock on the GPS several years ago while scalloping, but there are hundreds more and I heard t...

Re: Fishing this weekend Nov 21 -22 near St marks

Or you could wade the area on a blown out low tide...but that trip starts with a 45 minute mountain bike ride (one-way) on levees/FL Hiking Trail. The tide was pretty blown out Saturday morning. I put in at the lighthouse at 11:30 and in another 15 minutes the boat wouldn't have come off the traile...

Found it! Strange that Navionics and the Coast Survey chart don't have it labeled. I'll try that area next time, I've heard other reports of fish near there.

Re: Shipyard south of 98 on St. Marks?

Just digging up an old post here. I found this post while doing some research on the Wakulla Beach Hotel. I also found another site with several key dates in Wakulla's history.

I haven't found redfish point on the chart yet. Are there any other landmarks you can give to help my search?

Re: Fishing this weekend Nov 21 -22 near St marks

Thanks for the info! We caught 4 keeper trout Saturday, one on the first cast before low tide and 3 more as the tide was running in. I explored some areas new to me from Big Pass to Johns Island. I will be back in that area soon to explore more.

Fishing this weekend Nov 21 -22 near St marks

I need some expert advise about fishing this weekend (Nov 21 - 22). I have struck out for the past several months only to hear that others have been successful in other areas. I have spent the last few trips in the East river near the lighthouse thinking the colder water would hold fish there only t...

Re: Success at St Marks

A friend of mine went Saturday near the rocks in 6 to 7' of water and he said the bite was awesome right before high tide. It seems like I'm always going to the wrong spot. :cry:

Re: Aucilla and Econfina Rivers

My plans changed and I didn't go that far east. I should have gone that direction because I didn't catch anything in the mouth of the river near the lighthouse.

When the wife says “you should go get in the stand” the only answer is yes ma'am! Nice buck! He looks to be pretty old from the pics.

Re: DIY Helm station upgrade

Looks good! I was testing an iPad for Navionics, but it didn't have cellular service and won't track the location.
