.... If you turn West a bit, St. George Island is also nice.
TC, I hope our paths meet one of these days because you seem to know about a lot of the same "off the beaten path" places that I do. First it was Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, now it's St. George Island. I started going to St. George in (about) 1984. Back then, The Plantation was a failed development with grass growing up between cracks in the pavement and folks fished from the rocks down at "The Cut" if they had four wheel drive to get there, that is. I've caught some really nice Redfish off those rocks. Now it's a gated luxury community with million dollar homes and The Cut is in some of their back yards and private property--forget about fishing. Have you been there lately? I haven't been in about 8 years, now, myself. I hope Boss Oyster over in Apalachicola is still OK. Ever go down to Indian Pass to the Raw Bar?
You know, I figure I have myself to blame for St. George getting discovered. When I came back after the first trip, nobody I talked to had ever heard of it but a lot of them went to check it out. One of the last bastions of undiscovered Florida.
