Hello all!

I just wanted to say hello and see if there were any of you on here that fish Oyster Bay. I would love to hear some good fish tales and get some tips from all of you experienced fisherfolks.

I have pulled a red or two out of some of the holes around there. Plus some nice trout and a flounder or two.

Welcome HH I don't think there's an Oyster bar in the bay that DON'T have some fish on it I fish it some, but mostly fish the front side of Piney Island Ty One On is the master of Oyster Bay Check the inshore fishing reports for many clues to that area

Welcome HH. Glad to have you along.

good to have ya

Now that's funny , I do have a tendency to frequent that area. Mainly in the Spring from April to June and again from September to November. I like to fish right up on the bars, one to two feet of water. As Wevens will agree, One will not catch a lot of fish, but one will have good quality of fish. It is similar to the action you get while Bass fishing. Slow but rewarding.

I may have to go Sunday.

You go on Sunday and ya may have a day like we had last time out "just not as warm" but then the fish seemed ta like that bad weather, didn't they

Sunday high of 77F north wind around 8mph.

Low tide 8:55am fish all rising

I think I could brave those conditions. You going?

Depends if this is correct
Sunday
Northwest wind 10 to 15 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet. Protected waters a light to moderate chop. A chance of showers and thunderstorms.

I may have ta agravate a Bass

Shoot - I wish I could get down there and enjoy the fishing! I bet it is really great right now.

Have the springs started pushing more water yet? I remember the cold hole being warm and not moving much at all over Labor Day.

Ok, HH, rather than assume anything, I'll ask, what is a dirt decorator?

BTW, welcome.

I think the name "Spring Creek" will have to be renamed to just "Creek"

Why, a dirt decorator is exactly what it sounds like. I take dirt and make it look better with shrubs and trees and the like. I like to plan ways to make dirt look it's best.

How about Condo Creek? I think the next 10-15 years will be very telling for the sleepy little fishing village. I heard that there is a new house and boat house/dock going in on the strip of land between the two springs. I guess progress catches up with every place in the end.

I just hope that the fishing stays great and the good holes stay fairly well kept secrets.

Speaking of good fishing spots - I need to find some places for catching some mangrove snapper. Those are #1 on my TASTY list. I guess hanging around the springs this winter would be a good bet?

According to the Wakulla news, the Springs have quit discharging water and are now SUCKING salt water down the hole

Wevens, Those golf courses through out the state need all the water they can get. When all the fresh water is gone a little salt water will have to do the trick.

If they would use Astro-turf on golf courses maybe the springs and lakes would fill back up.

But what do I know. I'm just a dumb fishermen.
