From Hwy98, go north on 77. Take the first right after going over the Intercoastal Waterway. Drive past Rivercamps at Crooked Creek and take a right on Burnt Mill. A few miles down there's a public boat ramp/parking area. Awesome place.

The hot water area is catch-and-release because it's like shooting fish in a barrel, easy.

anything besides reds and trout this time of year...Red

Reds and trout in that area. Some bass if you go north in Burnt Mill Creek.

Red, remember trout season is closed and the Deputy Dawg is watching!

how deep is the water around the steam canal...will i need any sort of a sinker rig...and is any one place around it better than the other?.....

its my own humble, personal opinion but fishing in a catch and release area is just stupid cause you can't eat the yummy goodies you catch and you are just hurting the fish for no reason - if you try to pack 'em out you'll be fined a bundle and have your fishing license suspended for a year (seen it happen!) - and dont even try filleting on the boat unless you have a working grill/stove&pan on the boat - they thought of that too.

hunting and fishing is just fine, but if you hurt it, then you have to kill it, and if you kill it, then you have to eat it.
