Anybody have a report or prediction on what our local waters are going to look like either now or this weekend? Was hoping to find some cleaner water than last week but am I dreaming?

Follow me out 60 miles and it will be gin clear. You might have a hard ime finding clear water in the big bend inshore area. Good lucj to ya.

Sorry, I've got my self contained now.

Water was clear for us last week....was not gin clear....more like tea clear

Water in St George Sound around the East Pass appears stained but tolerably clear from my vantage point on 98, 5 west of Carrabelle.
I would advise folks to run with caution. I saw a sizable tree stump with nasty looking roots about 3-400 yards from the beach, today. With all the unusually high water in the woods north of here over the past week, there's probably a lot of floating stuff coming in the bays, some of it visible, likely other stuff, that is not.
Y'all be careful..

Right on Qoutrage. I saw a big floater 2 miles off of St. Marks this week that could've ruined someone's day.

Im on SGI right now and the water is nasty. I think its even worse then last weekend.

Water at St. Marks today looked like coffee.

Ran St Joe to Panacea today and it's dark all the way. Mostly tannin but a lot of mud too.

And here comes some more rain.

Yesterday, the water looked pretty good near the rocks west of Aucilla. It was stained red, but clear.

St. Andrews Bay looked like iced tea on Saturday. I did not fish earlier in the week so I don't know if it had cleared any, but it was pretty nasty looking this weekend.
