I went out yesterday afternoon from St. Marks. It was more choppy that I suspected and the visibility was maybe 5" almost everywhere. In other words i could see my lure maybe 5" below the water. Very muddy/stained. I put the boat behind Palmetto Island to get out of the wind. The clarity was about a foot there. Fishing was terrible. I had finger mullet and no takers, except a sail cat. Total tally for the afternoon, 2 sail cats, and ladyfish bites. What can i say? I'm a lady's man. :P
