St. Joe August 17th-19th


Recommended Posts

Heres my weekend fishing report from rainy St. Joe:

Fishing has been very good in 45 to 60ft. of water and you will notice most of the charters working this area, but it got pretty packed so I went headed deep. I did very well a bit north of the pier heads in 80 to 100ft. of water with 85 to 90 being the best. Bounced around on Friday night for a bit and went 5 for 10, pretty rough. I went 15 for 25 Saturday evening (an absolute blast) in the deeper water and 8 for 12 Sunday mid afternoon after the storms. Russ in the Fin Nailer was the only other boat I saw with everyone else working tight. Thanks again to Russ for the pointers, its amazing how the little things are so important. Most of the fish were Kings to 17lbs. with Lakers and Steel mixed in. Here is what worked:
