does anyone know if tomorrow will be a good day to head to keaton or econfina? as far as tides go. and what makes a good tide and a bad tide? i know the water movement has something to do with it but whats classified as "good water movement? is it the amount of water moved in the shortest amount of time or what? i'm wanting to head down tomorrow but before i drive 2.5 hours i don't wanna waste my time and mostly the very little money that i do have any good tips or information would be greatly appreicated as always on here!


thanks again

Fished out of keaton Friday.... We limited out fishing close to Adams Beach 3.5 to 4.0 ft. Then Sheephead on Steinhatchee reef. Fish when you can or when the weather will allow you to. There are so many variables....... one of them being my favorite....... BLIND DUMB LUCK...........

The Solunar report is poor until Monday

which steinhatchee reef? 1,2,3,4 or 5 and yeah i called both places. econ and kea. and they said the tides weren't so good so just trying to get a second opinion

Found this site by accident one day. http://www.tides4fishing.com/us/florida ... illa-river It has lots of very good information that is easy to understand. Good water movement in our area would probably be classified as a tide change of two or more feet, either incoming or outgoing.
Tomorrow will be good if you can get out early, but that will be a low tide, which might not be easy if you draw a lot of water. The channel out of the Econfina is well marked and you should not have a lot of trouble tomorrow. According to the solunar table the best bite is supposed to be between 10:45 and 12:45 but that has not always been my experience. Personally I like an incoming tide, but there are those who do better outgoing.
The previous answer of "Fish when you can or when the weather will allow you to." is a good one. The weather is going to be fantastic and the fishing should be good. Just get out! If you see me out there(I will be west of Econfina) I will tell you where some of JT's holes are. I fish them all the time, he just does not know it.

Occupy your armchair Sunday. I will be using all my holes between St. Marks and Steinhatchee.
Tide or no tide.

looks like i'm gonna be hunting down two boats tomorrow

Great information....... thank you. Which bait/rig was doing the job at Adams Beach? I will be going out there on Monday. I will take the skiff out from Keaton
and then head for Adams. I will do a post here on how it went.

where's adams beach at? i couldn't find it on google earth or anything is it east or west from keatons mouth?

It is between Deckle Beach and Yates Creek. When you come out of Keaton Beach keep right and follow the coast
(basically at first keeping to the markers). Once you are opposite Deckle Beach you will see a bird rack/platform.
Adams Beach lies on the coast between that platform and the next one......it is halfway between the two. If you go
to www.charts.noaa.gov you can look it up online.
Tight lines!!!

Fished there today and had 35 trout 6 of which were keepers. Mainly fished with Gulp shrimp on popping corks but also caught on cut bait
and spinners. They were tearing up any bait offered tody. Wind about 10 knots from SE. Watch out for the sand bars and oyster bars in
this area...but then again that's where they hang out. The best fishing was the few hours leading up to high tide.
