St marks reef
Any tips for fishing the St marks reefs? last couple of times I went I only caught bsb? Is that's all that's out there? been using squid as bait bottom fishing. Also Have thought about going to rotary reefs. which one do you think is better fishing? Im in a smaller boat so I don't think I should go any farther than that.

Also... skip the squid. Go with Artificial Jigs, unless you can grab some live bait (cast net or sabiki-esque) and grab some pinfish and mullet!

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

Have a live pinfish freelined and one 5-10 feet under the boat and you may get lucky on a cobia. Good luckmattl468 wrote:16 ft center console. What else should I be catching out there? What type of jigs? Thanks for your help
