I am a new member as of today and I'm glad to finally find a site like this one. I am planning a trip to Econfina for this weekend and looking for any advice.

Throw a Saltwater Assassin under a Cajun Thunder cork.

Throw it.............and they will come.....................

Candy Corn, glow/firetail, and new penny have been good colors lately.

The water is getting clearer everyday. Out of St. Marks yesterday we could see bottom in 5 feet.

OK Tom.....

...... that means I should be able to see them rock's before I hit'em... right?

By the way, when I furnished the #'s on my collision course a couple of weeks ago, you had referred to the area being "2 ft and Rocky" on your chart. Just out of curiosity, what charts do you use?

Bridge Marine tells me my lower unit is all put back together but they are waiting for the wind to lay down over there so they can put it in and test it. Not sure when I can go pick it up.

I use the Garmin Bluecharts and the Garmin Mapsource software.

Tom, I have the Garmin 152. Am I correct that I would at least need to go to the 162 or 168?? before I could use the software your speaking of?

I think that is correct.
