How do you fish Bottoms Road?

I am thinkin' of just a half day out early, on my own, in a new spot: Wevan's redfish hole!!

Hey wevans? Will I be able to chum up some bait fish off bottoms road? Any tip on which way to "turn" as I leave the landing? I have never even seen it!!

I do reserve the right to change my mind though, as I got some ideas for leaving the Lighthouse too . . . .

Early this weekend is low tide, not a good time to try and find your way around the Bottoms area

I have seen many a newbie setting high and dry out there

I would volunteer to show you around, but my girl has Takwondo testing tomorrow for her Yellow belt

Thanks "wevans," and good luck to your girl!

Maybe I'll plan Bottoms Rd. for another low tide?

I'll hit the LH tomorrow, then. And just hope it isn't dried up at low tide.....

Enjoy!

After hearing from Wevans so many times my buddies and I have made a few runs to the Bottoms area and its been real productive. Its very different than St. Marks and Spring Creek: instead of fishing the edges of oyster bars we have been learning to work the cuts and dropoffs along the sand bars. And a quick run out to marker 2 can yield all kinds of fish. We are so lucky to have Apalachee Bay with its expanse, diversity and natural qualities.
