5/15

Underway at 0630 I ran the ICW south of Harvey cedars found clean water -no bait no birds and no bumps-- ran back north stopped at the whalebone and had a great time with the alligators in 2-4'of water-- tackle busters they ate my poppers- cut through wire leaders -- but to see 7-10 blues hit a surface lure on 10lb tackle was worth it all CATCHEMUP

Capt: What or where is the "whalebone." Have never heard the term used on this board before. Thanks. Thad

whalebone is small are only 2-4'of water need a boat that draws very little water.

Good job capt. Al! I'm gonna try like you know what to get out this week as long as the weather co-operates!!

OK. So whalebone = flats? Thad

I have been told that Whalebone is called that because a boat named Whalebone cut out an area of deeper water in the shallows when it ran too shallow. It used to be almost 6-8' deep in spots.

I do not think you can find it on any chart. I will leave it at that............

i know where theres a chart that has johnnie allens cove, whalebone, myers hole, mud channel, and some others...

I love those old charts. It is really interesting to see how much has changed. And yes, the whalebone is usually productive.
