Just got back from the fish camp. Told them your video brought me. Pretty decent place. Just a heads up for folks with deeper drafting boats. You wont make it to the pancake place lol Its like 2 feet deep at that last lake to get there. 18ft center console it isn't happening without a jackplate. Boats like Kevins is the way to go to truly explore backwater Florida. Now to watch his vid on how to find one like his.

@OverlandFlorida Жыл бұрын

Good heads up about the water depth. I’ve never really paid attention as I don’t have a depth finder. But at least you can make it out to the St. John’s river and cruise north or south.

Cool place,stayed there many times.Great for boat rides but the bass fishing blows.Woodruff is nothing but mud from years of hyacinth spraying and sinking to the bottom.Bass cannot/will not spawn on a mud bottom and fwc does not stock bass in those areas.That whole area is very shallow and you will get stuck if your not paying attention.Go in the summer and you can enjoy yellow jacket attacks in the canal to and from the fish camp as well. 😄

We just visited Hontoon Island for the first time a few weeks ago, it was a nice place to take a little break. I'm curious if you found a place to beach the boat and walk to Blue Springs? We haven't found a good place to do that. The boat parking to the right of the docks is all muck from what we saw. The cabins look nice 👍. Do you have some more videos coming showing the rest of your adventures on this trip?

@OverlandFlorida 2 жыл бұрын

We had to use the muck parking for the boats to the right of blue springs. They really need a dock of some sorts. I have 3 videos coming out of this trip and it shows the whole day exactly where we went. We did 94 miles on the boats in one weekend.

Katie and I were just taking about this. I have the GoPro 9 Black and the built in microphone cancels a lot of the wind noise. It's actually really nice. On the older GoPro's the wind noise would sound terrible.
