panama city-st andrews. beach, peir and kayak report
We just returned from our trip to St Andrews. Tried kayak fishing 10/17 but the surf was pretty rough early that morning got out fine, fished fine, but getting back to the beach was rough. i got flipped but it was only waist deep and i had already stored everything in the hatch. Did not get a bite on the kayak. saw several Jacks running bait but they were not interested.
also fished in the bay one day on the yak catching a bunch of grunts!
Surf fished a few times with cut bait and only caught catfish.
Fished from the pier two nights. first night we used live shrimp and caught several keeper grey snapper. The next night we used cut bait and boateda mixed bag of bluefish, catfish, ladyfish, and remoras.
also saw a big ole rattlesnake the first day there about 20 yards away from our tent!
