Been there fishing several times.
Staying on CSB in early September.
We'll be both wading or kayaking and snorkeling.

Where are the best spots to access the bay and park to get out on the grass flats?

Any other advice is appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Leaving to come home tomorrow, scallopping was a little harder this year. Quantiy is down from last year and scallops are deeper, if you can find some pot holes that are 6ish feet deep. Search the grass around them and you will be pleasantly suprised. It is very difficult to see them from the surface at that depth and the water has been a little murky. I dive down and hold on to the grass and look around. Most times i grab 3 to 4 scallops before i come back to up. We went to our usual spots in shallower water and skunked out until we figured it out.

NE and SE sides of blacks island . Maybe 1/4 mile away.
You can put in at the public ramp in port st joe, presnells marina, or the ramp on the cape by the big rocks. Good luck

Any spots in the bay off CSB if we put our kayaks in at the state park?

I would put the yaks in at the kayak launch on the right at the bend where the big rocks and houses start. Go out in front of the antannea and there is something sticking out of the water in that area as well to give you refrence

You will find miss info, there is no 1/4 mile paddle, city ramp is close to 10 miles to blacks. state park another 10 to blks, old concrete pier has access and then 1/2 mile paddle and find them.

I think this is the old concrete dock. It’s really only accessible by walking a sandy path off 30e though if it’s the same one we used.
