New guy from Jax

thegeek · 07-10-2012, 10:13 PM

Hey I'm a new guy from Jax with family that just moved over to the Fort Walton area. Not having a boat in the area (or willing to drag mine 6 hrs), could ya'll share some spots for the 'boatless' fisherman?

Thanks ahead of time,

@knowphish - Thanks - I'd love to show you some spots in Jax. Not my honey holes though

Kinda what I'm looking for here is some general spots (fresh/salt).

@Mudigger/@fupagunt - thanks! Fupagunt, where in Jax you from?

Sup Geek??? Fish off of the beach, fresh dead shrimp or sand fleas.. You can buy pompano rigs pre made at the tackle store, put a triangle sinker on and your good to go. No telling what you'll catch.

surf fishing, pcola pier, bob sikes bridge, 3 mile bridge, ft pickens pier. that about covers it.

if you want deep sea get a charter and pay the big bucks and go for the day. lots of options

Welcome! If your budget allows, I would get a kayak soon. It will open up an immense amount of fishing options, both inshore and in the gulf.

Thanks all for the info.

@ChrisV - I"ve been thinking of getting a kayak too. That would be SO much easier to transport than the 15' Gheenoe. I couldn't imagine taking it out in the gulf! Guess I'm chicken.

Im actually from Upstate NY but I moved to JAx in '03 and lived there about 7 years. Lived at the Beach for awhile then on Hodges right off from JTB. Bartended at Monkeys Uncle at the beach for awhile while I lived there.. Fished offshore mostly with Joe Tooker on the Easy Money, you know him by any chance? That man can catch some fish
