St. Marks Water Clarity
I'm thinking about doing some fishing Monday morning and was wondering if anyone knew how the water clarity is right now out of St. Marks? I know with all the rains lately some of the rivers are starting to flood.
Re: St. Marks Water Clarity
I was at Natural Bridge last Sat. where the river is small, and it looked like black coffee. Water flowing out fast and not more than 3'' visibility.

I went this morning, water is super clear on the flats. Cold water temps though ranging 55-57. Didn't see much of anything other than Gar and a few sheepshead in a creek. Caught one Spanish.
Re: St. Marks Water Clarity
Still surprised to hear about Spanish with the water temps.

Re: St. Marks Water Clarity
I was shocked too and for how big it was. Prob a good 18''.

The flats are clear but its plain awesome a little further out. You can see the bottom at the 24 marker.
