    Looks like an untapped adventure, many preserves along it's track, would imagine a very scenic peaceful place...

    I’ve seen some video of the panfish there but that was long ago. Worm fishing as I remember.

    If you do a search, I asked a few years back when more were posting from west side. I recall Yelim and fishin813 and a few others had spent some time on it. If I remember right they had limited success on specks but were well entertained by shellcrackers and copperheads. Not sure the exact area they were fishing but I was interested in your area around Dunnellion.

    Actually Mike, Lake Rousseau, which is the dammed up section of the Cooch, has a very nice fishery. Although hazardous outside the marked channel, I have enjoyed great success w/bluegill/crappie and some shellcracker. Fishing was thriving until a hurricane(3 years ago?) significantly impacted it. Fishin813 had a C.com friend (Jamin) that did an article(Summer longlining) about 7 or 8 yrs. ago and did extremely well. Additionally 89 Ranger also enjoyed banner shellcracker/bluegill fishing there. Harold(fishing813) decided against FCC tourney there due to out of channel underwater trees. I believe Yelim only fished it moons ago a few times. Anyway, same river(cooch) will have great potential for me w/o the travel to St. John's for the variables I enjoy. Just like anything, time/effort expended will hopefully yield success. Now, if I only new someone with marksmanship skills in the ultralight "skinny-mini" category to act as a panfish posse/ deputy...hmmmm?!!
    Hopefully, in time, I will be able to put the pieces together= New Year's resolution. They say that hindsight is 2020, my case foresight is 2020
