I haven't fished in LA since 1993, but when I did it was 140nm offshore on a 250' supply boat.

I'm sorry to hear that as well! Has anyone had a good interaction with the new Porter Marine? I had hoped the name would carry on with the same level of quality.

Does anyone on here know how to find the one about the guy getting caught in his electric fence? This story and that one are the funniest that I have read on the forum. Thanks This one? https://www.bigbendfishing.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=209170&hilit=Electric+Fence+and+the+Lawnmower#p209170

Great report even if you didn't take home a limit of fish! What is the deal with the pogo stick at Deals? Last time I was there they got it out and started singing and dancing.

Re: April Fishing Report

Great report! Water temp in Big Pass this past weekend was 72, but only catfish wanted to get on the hook. Water looked the color of southern sweat tea.

Re: April 6 and 7th

My girlfriend and I went Saturday. Got to the Lighthouse ramp about 10:30 and had just enough water to get the boat out. Fished around the Long Bar and in the East River with no good bites. Headed over toward Wakulla Beach and started catching some short Reds and Trout. Ended the day with one Red at...

Re: This forum is dead

I took the boat out Sunday afternoon 3-31. Stayed near the Lighthouse on the long bar and up in the East River. Caught a few catfish and a ladyfish. Not a great day fishing, but it was a great day to be on the boat! Interesting that the icon next to this thread indicates that it is a hot topic, but ...

Re: St. Marks??

I haven't been fishing since the Saturday after Thanksgiving so I don't know what the recent rains have done to the water. This Saturday looks like it will be a good day to try. High tide is at 12:21 and wind should be below 10mph

Re: Ruger Mini 14

I've always wanted a Mini 14 in stainless. There are many different opinions on the Mini 14 firing 5.56, but I believe it's ok to use 5.56 in the standard model. Unless the NRA Edition falls into the Target Model chamber size. https://www.rugerforum.net/threads/can-my-mini-14-shoot-a-556-round.135345/
