[hookedonred]

Trying to plan my weekend accordingly anyone have any reports on the water clarity around st. marks, turkey point/ lanark?

Any info will be much appreciated!

Yesterday, I scouted a couple of tidal creeks that empty into Apalachee Bay east of Stoney Bayou. Both were tannin-colored and still heavily loaded with rainwater that has been flowing through St Marks Refuge spillways the past three weeks. The flats by the lighthouse looked the same way two days ago.

I tried to do a lillte flounder gigging two nigths ago around the Shell Point area and the water was still very stained.
