The past five years I have camped at St. Joe Peninsula for spring break with the family.I did lots of good kayak fishing in the back of St. Joe bay. However this year my daughter wants to be in Panama City with her High School friends. I am reluctantly willing to give it a try. I will be camping at St. Andrews State Park. I will be bringing my Kayak. I will be there the first week of April. I have fished the jetties there a couple of times but I have never fished a kayak in that area. Can anyone give me some information to help me get started?

If you can handle that, you can handle anything the water throws at you!!

Sorry I'm not kayaker and can't help, but it actually sounds pretty cool. I've always had great luck fishing around panama city. Just watch out for that girl of yours. Lot's of junk goes on in that town.

I use Burnt Mill Creek as a launch site and I've also run over to Lynn Haven and have launched at a McKenzie Road Ramp. Shoot me an email and I'll try to help you with some spots from these launches. Also you can go over the Hathaway Bridge and take a left on 23rd street and then left on Michigan Ave and launch out of Pretty Bayou. You can fish those piers before you head out in the bay and be on trout pretty quick as soon as you get into the bay.

Good luck!

Also call Brad or the guys at Sunjammers Watersports and they can help with some more yak launch sites. Great bunch of guys there.

Plus Suber and Talltails fish over there and may have some different launch sites from what I've mentioned. They are the yak pros!!!
