Made it out on the south Pier in St.Joe this past weekend..
Nailed some nice brown trout,a few white fish and 1 lil coho.
Was a good time other then the wind. at times the winds felt like Gail force winds.Had to keep a close eye on our tackle boxes and chairs,it didn't much to start sliding across that Pier.We almost called it quites by 10am but stuck it out all day and glad we did, the fish turned on by 11am and lasted until 5pm or so but we stayed till dark. Had a great time..
From what we could see across the river the north Pier was hitting a few but it seemed most fish where coming off the end of the south Pier either on the lake side or river side.Most where at the mouth of the river..river is still very muddy..Lake side water is still churning up sand but should be good and clear by Easter weekend..with the warm temperatures coming Easter weekend maybe the time to be out there..
Anyone heading out in boats out of the St.Joe river into the lake.Keep in mind that the south Pier light and Navigation aid tower has collapsed and if your returning from the south there is no markers at the south Pier. Everything is working on the north Pier as far as we know.
