HAS ANYONE BEEN OUT TO SAWGRASS LATELY ??
ANY COMMENTS APPRECIATED..

dONT KNOW HOW MUCH YOU FISH THE FLATS AT lox mARV, BUT IF YOU HIT UP sAWGRASS YOU WILL DO BETTER IN THE FLATS. Been to Lox lately and can tell you the water at Sawgrass is very high, I guess like everywhere, but the flats is where they are at!

THANKS DANNY..APPRECIATE THE INFO.
LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE HEADING TO SAWGRASS SUNDAY..IF FOR NOTHING ELSE BUT A CHANGE IN SCENERY.

Don't forget your orange flats flag. Could save you some money.

GOT IT IN THE ROD LOCKER..THANKS WIMPY

You are better off at holylands right down the street. Sawgrass is going to be a tough day with the water almost up to the road on 27. The fish will be scattered and few and far between. At least at holylands they are kinda land locked with no flats to get into. Go to the east west canal and fish the shelf on the south side you should catch a few in the a.m. If you are going in the afternoon fish the pads on the other side with a speed worm flappin shad or frog. there are some monster fish in there. We have caught them from the bridge all the way to the western spillway. It doesn't seem to matter. It is like anywhere though some days are tough but the potential to catch a big fish is much greater than fishing at Sawgrass. Just a suggestion

I am not a regular there by no means but have been a few times and could swear that there are flats to fish at Holiday Park. Isn't that the reason say fishing is tough there during summer when it rains and the water is high? Fishing seems to be better in April when the water is low and the fish are forced back into the canals.

Can someone clarify that this is true? Also, if you fish in the flats right now how deep is it? Deep enough to run a bass boat? Or do you have to troll into them? Anyone catching any fish in the flats at Holiday park?

The flats at holiday park are HUGE, and yes there are fish in them, but not all over them, they defiantely move and definately favor certain areas over others. The water on the flats varies in depth. But right now you can run all over them. But idle into them at the cuts, there are some rocks in them.

And make sure your batteries are fully charged and you have your flats flag.

HEY KEITH, MARV, KEEP IN MIND THE FLATS ARE SHUT DOWN WEST OF 27 NOT SURE ABOUT SAWGRASS JUST SO YOU GUYS DONT GET TICKETS.

Yes keep in mind you can only go 1 mile or less into the flats at this time, at Holiday Park, I am not sure if Sawgrass is like that or not right now. But if you get to the ramp and there is a sign up that says flats are closed then that still means you can go into them with a prop boat but must stay within 1 mile of the canals.

The flats are fully closed to airboats and off road vehicles, unless they have aligator permits.

I appreciate the info. I have to buy a flats flag first I guess.

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP ON THE OFF LIMITS AREA.
IF WE GO TO SAWGRASS..WE WILL BE EAST OF 27..SO I THINK WE WILL BE OK..BUT I WILL ASK AT THE BAIT STORE JUST TO BE SAFE.
