this is where we are staying https://www.google.com/maps/place/12...1!4d-82.636018

we will probably have to drive to get to any of the springs

You're not far at all from the place I was talking about to go out. You're already off 44, so just keep going out to the end, park at the beach, and head out. It's all nice rocky oyster bar covered flats out there from what I seen from the beach. And it looks like you're in luck with the weather as of right now.

got the trailer loaded up with kayaks, leaving out in the am. West coast of Florida, watch out:sand:

made it today, looks like we are in for a good week

Depending on how things go, I may be able to run up that way one day next week.

Been watching your weather down there Spare, looks about perfect wind wise.

The weatehr has been great. We went fishing with a guide yesterday, didn't get to grouper fish, the ocean fog kept up close to shore.Ended up in the area Ferm recomended. We caught some real nice specs, 1 pompano, 1 spanish, several various misc fish including a big remora.Saw one manatee Had a great day. I fried them up for supper tonight, good eating. Took the kayaks down to Chassahoowitxka River today, great trip, we are all beat. As soon as I finish the crown apple/ginger ale, I'm going to bed. Heading back home tomorrow

Chassohowitzka river is where I go flats fishing out of. I doubt you guys made it all the way out to the bay by kayak, but it is quite the place to flats fish. Cold front coming in tonight, but supposed to be gone by Saturday afternoon. I'm hoping it doesn't shut the flats fishing off.

Mmmmmmm, fried manatee.

almost as good as fresh baby seal


Just got back tonight after fighting I95, We had a great trip, I'll post up some pics after I get rested,

I fell in love with the "Young Boats" 22 built near there
