St. Marks Water Clarity

Post by chris.harris388 »

I'm thinking about doing some fishing Monday morning and was wondering if anyone knew how the water clarity is right now out of St. Marks? I know with all the rains lately some of the rivers are starting to flood.

I was at Natural Bridge last Sat. where the river is small, and it looked like black coffee. Water flowing out fast and not more than 3'' visibility. :evil:

I went this morning, water is super clear on the flats. Cold water temps though ranging 55-57. Didn't see much of anything other than Gar and a few sheepshead in a creek. Caught one Spanish.

Still surprised to hear about Spanish with the water temps.
