I’m in Saint Petes for the weekend, recommendations are welcomed, and i did not bring a scoop, ordered one from Amazon arrives tomorrow, also if any fisherman here, do you know where i can catch a Peacock bass?
Lets pillage and plunder the bayou!!!

Oh great! Just what I need.....more competition!

Sorry Procali, no Peacock bass in this area. You gotta go further south into Felix territory down near Miami where the water doesn't get as cold in the winter. They live in the fresh water canals down down there. A saltwater fishing license for non-Florida residents is 3 day $17, 7 day $30. You can buy on line and they give you a code of some sort that you show to any Game officer that may check you.

Try John's Pass for both fishing and detecting the beach area there. There are 2 fishing piers at Ft. Desoto park that seem popular with fisherman. You can get a permit at the park ranger's office to detect the beach within the park. The Courtney Campbell Causeway is another popular fishing from shore spot. As far as beach detecting, there are numerous public parking lots along Gulf Blvd. that are busy this time of year. Google "Pinellas county public beach parking lots".

Enjoy your stay, but leave me some of the goodies in the sand!

If that's not a treasure map , Idk what is. Why don't you salt it with gold while you're at it.

No sir! I'm keeping my gold. At $2,243, I'm keeping, hoarding, stashing, hiding my gold!

Gold season is just getting started this year around these parts. Going tomorrow morning to see what the Easter weekend crew left behind.

Good Luck ! I hope you find some Golden Eggs. I hit 3 beaches yesterday and it was horrible. Getting ready to go again today. Been raining here and there's no crowds....

Good luck KOB, tried two OC beaches this morning both sanded in to the hilt, the second beach the lifeguards kicked everyone off due to eminent lightning strikes, I was ok with that considering the lack of targets.
