I have wanting to take my boat into Nick's Lake and back through to Salt Lake.  Does anyone have any navigation advice.  Things to watch out for:  shell, to shallow, not worth it and the like.  I don't see much on Navionics to watch out for, except for a shell island as you come into to Nick's.  Nick's looks pretty shallow 2-4 in the middle and Salt Lake 3-5 ft depending on where you are.  Any info is appreciated.  

I was trying to post a video from fishing this past weekend to get y'all's opinion on something and I can't post it.  Is it not possible to post your own video on the site?  I only see how to reference and post AU vids.  Please advise.

Considering getting a a wade fishing trip together for Bluefin Tuna.  Hit me up if interested.  😂https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/carolina-tuna-run/

I spend a lot of time on the ICW.  Some barges displace just little bit of water, some displace a ton, and some throw a wake you could surf behind.  Does anyone know a way of telling them apart as they approach?  Thanks in Advance!!

On Friday 03/07 I was fortunate to go on an instructional fishing trip with Captain "Sensei" McCumber.  While the conditions and fishing did not turn out they way we planned it was a great day on water.  I recently bought a boat after not owning one for about 20 years.  Needless to say after learning to drive the boat, figure out the trolling motor, read the GPS fish finder and trying to figure out where to catch fish my head has been spinning.  It got so bad I couldn't even cast may reel without blowing it up almost immediately.  Extremely frustrating!!  He fixed that in about 2 seconds.  Caleb is a natural instructor, knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining.  Not one time did I feel stupid or foolish for asking him any question at all and believe me I asked.  If I missed something he simply reminded me and it was greatly appreciated.  After his coaching I took my boat out Monday and was able to locate and catch several nice fish.   If you have the opportunity to go fishing with him I highly recommend it.          

Heading out to the Chocolate Bay area tomorrow. I’ve heard the bite window has been short—either a quick bit early or late. Has anyone been out recently and noticed the same?

Released this 29" Red yesterday just off the intracoastal in Freeport.   It was nice to see the water come down from where it has been.
