Ecofina River State Park is a great place to launch.
It's about a 2 mile ride down to the Gulf.

Salt marshes opening to the gulf.
The ocean is only 2-4 feet deep all along the coast here.

Terry caught this Pompino in about 4 feet of water using frozen shrimp for bait.

Marc was excited to catch his first shark. It put up a good fight!
Water was about 5 feet deep and he used squid for bait.

It's a Black Tip Shark.
The species averages about 5 lb. and habitats the shallow coastal water.

We also caught lots of Bonnethead Sharks in the shallow water.
The species averages a couple of feet in length.

We caught some good sized catfish using the stinky squid.
They put up almost as good of a fight as the sharks.
Some people eat the cats and the sharks, but not us.
