No Bay fishing lately here.......my fiancee' took the boat w/ him when he moved to Jax
WISH I were though

The catfish are biting! Whoo hoo! I'm too impatient I think to use lures (don't you have to cast them and constantly reel them back in)? Maybe I'm not doing it right...I normally cast them about 5 times then get tired of it. I've tried to not fish on the bottom, but can't seem to get it. Fishing is fun though, no matter what's biting (or not)! We netted tons of small mullet and my dad was so excited to use them when they went out in the gulf. We hadn't fished out there in so long and didn't realize a box of cigar minnows are $15.00 now! We hope to get out on the gulf with him soon.
Does anyone know about the artificial reefs in the bay? What kind of fish are there? I heard there are cones, but I think they are futher out by the e. pass. Anything closer?

Try a Strike King redfish master, lots of hits from all the critters. My spoon luck has been poor.

The cones are here: 30'24.7 86'30.68 in 25 feet of water. That's in the bay ENE of Crab Island, roughly. They were placed back in 1987, don't know if they are still there.
Closer, there's an old barge off Choctaw beach that holds some fish, and some smaller old wrecks scattered about.

Is he back from Indian Pass and is he for hire off the beach?
Capt.Larry Pentel (dead fish charters) is still fishing in indian pass. He will be back later in August. However, his protege Capt. William Pentel is fishing all bays (appalachicola, st.joe, and choctawhatchee). Dead Fish will be running off grayton again in approximately 3 weeks.
nope - gas is too high again to run the big boat with the ac and too hot not to - maybe september when it cools off some
