Econfina is closed and the ramp is flooded!
Actually, I called the State Park as well as the private campground and everything is open, good to go. The campground stated that there's lots of people out fishing. I wish I could be out there right now!
Hows the clarity? Is all of the freshwater going to change your plans or tactics?
