very cool!

Let's see how the weather is...

[zload]

Will be expecting gale if not hurricane force winds this October...

Weather's looking good .... Not asking for anyone's spot or numbers, but roughly what depth do y'all think would be the minimum to have a good chance of bringing home some snapper?

[tailwaters]

I've caught them in 30' but you are best going 50' plus.

I have mixed feelings, on one hand, I'm very happy for the folks at the coast who depend on the tourist/fishermen dollars. Three years of tropical systems have beaten them to a pulp and they could use some extra cash to survive the winter.

On the selfish front, it means mayhem at the Lanark ramp and that is a pain in my backside. No, I don't usually go "Snappa Fishin" but I did win my boat on the opening day of Snapper Season in 2017 so I smile whenever I hear those words.

No reason not to take that new pathfinder to the snapper hole. It is a super fun and easy way to fill the box w some good eats. We usually put the i pilot down and chum and chunk them behind the boat and drift chunks back. Even more fun on light tackle, they fight hard and are sooo plentiful right now. If you want to buddy boat with us sometime, we’d love to have to have y’all out there

Thanks SG, I may take you up on that.

I do love snapper filets but not enough to fight the crowds of weekenders. Wish they'd open a couple of week days.

Anyone want to buddy boat out of St Marks on Sunday, lemme know.

Well darn. We wanted a fall sapper season and we got it. But here come the winds. Darn, just darn. Good luck to all the folks going out Sat and Sun. And Be safe.

Windy.com & noaa forecast don't look that bad. We'll see what mother nature says...

SneakyBooger will be out there bright and early on Sunday out of Carrabelle. Wish GrouperSandwich still had his place there so I could crash for the night.

Go get em boys!
