Ochlockonee/Sopchoppy Fishing

[MIAcanes44]

I am fishing the Ochlocknee/Sopchoppy area for the first time this weekend. Is there anything I should look out for? Is the state park ramp ok for a 22 ft bay boat? Any fishing advice at this time?

Take your bass tackle, lost of fresh water still.

IF YOU ARE LAUNCHING AT THE LIGHT HOUSE RAMP, TAKE A RIGHT OUT OF THE CANAL AND GO UP RIVER FISHING ALL THE OYSTER BARS, SHOULD BE SOME REDS LAYING UP AROUND THEM. IF YOU DO NOT CATCH ANYTHING DOING THIS GO ON UP THE RIVER PAST THE POWERPLANT AND FISH ALL THE DEEP HOLES YOU COME TO. THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IF I FISH THE RIVER PAST THE POWER PLANT I USE A MIRRO-LURE 52M24 BLUE BACK WITH SILVER SIDES FISHED VERY SLOW, I KNOW YOU WILL CATCH FISH DOING THIS. WITH THE WIND BLOWING LIKE IT IS YOU MIGHT BE BETTER OFF LAUNCHING AT THE OLD FORT RAMP IN ST. MARKS AND HEAD UP RIVER. AT TIMES I HAVE HAD TO GO UP RIVER TO ROAD 98 BRIDGE BEFORE CATCHING ANY FISH. MAIN OPPERATIVE IS SLOW,SLOW, SLOW.

Um, Pa, I think he is talking about fishing Sopchoppy.

The park ramp is fine for your boat. If you see a park ranger, ask him where the fish are biting, they usually know.
