Okefenokee fell through. Water levels, permit timing, weather window — one of those moments where the wilderness makes the call.
So we pivoted to the St. Marys. Different river, different skills, same commitment to getting out there.
Ended up hooking a big blue cat that reminded me why you always run a secondary plan.
The skill: Strategic flexibility beats stubborn commitment to one route.
Worth the watch if you want to see how the pivot played out — and how that cat tested the gear.
