Just to update anyone in Florida that reads these posts:
Fishing by far was best on the falling tides on secondary flats. Caught numerous trout in the 22-28 inch range and one that went 30 inches (all released if over 20 inches) on rootbeer grubs and Lucky Craft flash minnows. Throw in a few ladyfish, jacks, few blacktips and a couple flounder and it was a blast. Topped it off while throwing to a cruising ray and got into a fight with a 36inch cobia on 8# test in a foot of water-a fight that took 35 minutes to win-no release!!!
Scallops were plentiful in St. Joe Bay-if you knew where to look. Got our limit each time we went out.
