June Grass

Is the June grass around in Destin right now. Will be there fourth of July week and hoping it is not heavy.

If you're refering to the sargasm weed it was very thick last week but it hascleared up pretty good right now...at least in Pensacola, not sure about Destin. Not sure how it will be come July

Pretty nasty right now. All broken up into little chunks.

How will that affect the surf fishing?

If its still clumped in destin as lobsterman said it will make things very difficult. The drifting clumps will gather on your line and like a big sail catching the current.

That blows. I am catching a shark on my trip if I have to cut my leg and swim past the second sand bar at night with fresh mullet in my pocket.

You would probably have a pretty good chance catchingone that way!

We were in Panama City & east beaches of Destin yesterday and it was spotty. Some areas were cleaner than others.

I hope that it is clear and the surf is smooth. I fished in that stuff one year and it sucked.

was out in destin on wednesday and navarre today. the "grass" was so bad in destin that you couldnt retrieve your line once you got a bit on it and it made it up to the eyes on your rod. but in navarre, it was non existant. but so were the fish, so pick your poison... Tight lines!
