A unique website dedicated to fishing information from Florida's Northern Big Bend. This includes the area from the Econfina River west to the Apalachicola River
Weather looks good but it’s August and I can’t really decide where to go & what to do. I do plan to head out of Lanark but not quite offshore –at least not to bottom fish. I could stay within 5-6 miles.
Any suggestions?
5 or 6 miles off of DI is some pretty darn good Grouper fishin, expecialy for trolling
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
Wevans, I do recall you're the expert on trolling for grouper out there. I do need to get geared up for that. As a kayak fisherman my open water chances are at the mercy of whoever I'm going with. As soon as I get kids out of daycare I will have a boat.
Should I expect kings within 5-6 miles?
I would not expect one, but be prepared for it I did catch one last year trolling a stretch 30 in 30 to 40 foot of water. I try to keep my speed around 4 MPH on the GPS

5/6 miles?
