Oak Hill Gallon

PonceKW

Looks like the 'run' may be started. Heard from a friend that he stayed till midnight and got a gallon.. not much but at least more than recent reports.

Hello Ponce,

I have plans for this weekend for shrimping, I'm at south florida and have a small 14 footer.

We wanted to go shrimping at Oak hill, any recommendations? We heard about a Rail Road Bridge?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

PonceKW

The RRB (railroad bridge) in Titusville can be a little hazardous with any strong breezes. It's in the middle of 2 large bodies of water and BIG waves are abundant with any winds.
Oak Hill is on fire right now. Just check and make sure the tides will be outgoing for several hours after you get there.

PonceKw, Thanks again for your comments

Like I mentioned I have a small boat I would like to keep it as safe as possible and any info from somebody that knows the area is welcome.

Is there a boat ramp that you can suggest?
Any particular place at Oak Hill to go shrimping?

PonceKW

In Oak Hill, there is a State Park and boat launch that everybody uses to go shrimping. It's called Riverbreeze. You should be able to find it on any GPS or Google Earth and there is a sign on S, Ridgewood Ave directing to the park.

Looking forward to go shrimping, Thanks again for your comments.

Oakhill tides are not very "friendly" this weekend. You always want to shrimp the outgoing tide. High tide at Oakhill this Friday is 1:49AM, Saturday is 2:40AM, and Sunday is 3:30AM...I usually try to anchor and be ready to dip at least 30 minutes before the tide starts going out. If you want to try and get a couple hours of early tide, on Saturday, the outgoing tide is from 2:15PM to 8:30PM....that will give you roughly 2 hours of dark dipping time (6:30PM to 8:30PM). Sunday, the early tide is from 3:02PM to 9:19PM...that will give you almost 3 hours of dark dipping time (6:30PM to 9:19PM). You can still dip for a little bit when the tide goes slack and gets ready to change. Good luck out there

Maybe a stupid question, but outgoing tide means that tide is going down? Is this chart the right one?

Thanks in advance

Top Water

Yes, outgoing is when the tide starts going down.........the chart you show is close......but the tides are earlier or later in different areas of the state..........look for a chart closer to Oakhill. I usually use the Ponce Inlet chart and add 6 hours for Oakhill..........so if High Tide at Ponce Inlet is at 1PM, the high tide at Oakhill will be at 7PM

Thank you!

another way to look at it is if its high tide at Daytona its low tide at Oakhill.

Top Water has it correct!
