Re: Offshore Sept 8

Thanks for posting the picture of the houndfish. I have never seen one or heard of one before.

Re: St Marks - Inshore August 11 & Trout Parasites

Seeing worms in trout makes me want to trade-in my bay boat for an offshore boat.

Re: Capsized

The Tallahassee Democrat wrote an article about the capsized boat in the rescue of its passengers. Here’s a link to the article https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/ ... 623485001/

Re: Capsized

Yes, I heard the coast guard portion of the response to the distress calls as we were trying to beat the storms to the shore. Apparently, the people on the boat were rescued by a passing boat. Then, I heard the Coast Guard say to the captain of the rescued boat, “Sir, what do you intend to do about ...

Re: Memorial Day weekend

On Saturday morning, I fished for mangroves at O-Tower. We had no trouble seeing many of them swimming under the boat. Getting the mangroves to bite was another matter. My method was to feed sardine chunks on 1/0 hooks tied to light tackle and feed it into a chum slick. I hooked into two mangroves e...

Re: my first cobia of 2019

Got on the boat after sunrise service. Went out to have my my own spiritual experience on the water. Picked up some pinfish by the bird rack (plus my first bluefish of the season) and headed out to St Marks reef. Action was a bit slow at first, but this 42"cobia gave me a thrill (especially tr...

Re: 4/2/19

Fished 5 areas yesterday after launching at Shell Point. Only 1 dink trout. Everywhere seemed devoid of life, no birds, bait, no mullet. Chalk it up to paying my dues..... Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who gets skunked. If you see me straining to carry a heavy cooler, sometimes it's just f...

Re: Spanish - Dog Island Reef

I plan on trying trolling for them for the first time this weekend. I keep my boat at Shields. Any first timer tips? I caught a few fishing for trout on the flats last week. I have my best odds of getting bites from Spanish Mackerel when I use an expensive lure with 20 pound fluorocarbon leader. Se...

Re: Purchase Power

I've always enjoyed shopping at Crum's. Crums has always had great prices on marine gas and bait. I'd hate to stop shopping there without more information about the lawsuit. What does Crum's lawsuit ask the court to do? How is the the relief sought in the lawsuit inconsistent with the net ban consti...

Re: 2/26/19 Tues

With 6 engines, you would be 6 times as likely to have engine problems. Don't like that boat at all.

Keaton Beach on Sat. Feb. 23

A friend of mine and I went inshore fishing out of Keaton Beach on Saturday with Oz Catalano, a fishing guide. We were fishing in about 2 feet of water over grass, and we caught our limit of redfish and trout in about 3.5 hours. After we had our limit, we did some catch and release fishing until we ...
