Anyone fish Escambia River? We've got a son-in-law with the Blue Angels and we drive over from Baton Rouge every 6-8 weeks for a couple of days. I took the boat in Oct and put in Gulf Breeze side of bridge and headed toward the bridge columns. The second swell that came over the nose told me that was not the place to be!
A guy at the bait shop told me about Escambia and I went there next day. Put in at west end of Hwy 90 bridge, Swamphouse Landing I think. Fished a little between there & I10 bridge, caught a few cats and explored the area up river some. Went up past the power plant to a sharp S bend.
Where's the best fishing in the area? I've got a Fisher 1610SS w/40HP (same as Tracker Panfish 16) so I need to stick to the skinny water (rivers, bayou, swamps) not big open bays. Mostly have Monday to fish.
Thanks
