Re: 7/6-7/7

I don't know but I can can eat filet mignon way cheaper than I can eat ARS or gag that I catch... course that would probably apply to trout and redfish if you want to count the boat,rods, tackle etc. I remind myself that I fish for recreation not food :-D

Re: 7/6-7/7

Alarm went off at 4:30 am wife and I were hoping to get another snapper trip in but one look at the radar and I turned off the lights and went back to sleep. I did make some nice challah french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon while watching the radar blow up in the gulf. I kept getting text updates ...

Re: Capsized

I believe the closest USCG stations for the Big Bend is Yankeetown to the east and Panama City to the west. Helo would need to come from Clearwater/St Pete area or maybe Pensacola? So if they happen not to be in the area where you are in distress its going to be awhile. I carry a PLB for life threat...

Re: Carrabelle mahi mahi--have they come in yet?

I've caught peanut dolphin 4-5 miles off of Mexico beach in June/July/August in years past, found a close in area with some floating weeds one year and had a ball watching my kids and their friends pitching a small jig to the edge and watching the dolphin crash it time after time and just swarm all ...

Re: 2019 Capts for Clean Water Skiff Challenge starts today

Ride had to have been rough, Sea Pro also totally lost their electric power while running down the ICW, had to resort to the second captain laying on the front deck with a flashlight and they stopped in St Marks to make repairs including losing their radar and I think the whole poling platform tryin...

Re: 2019 Capts for Clean Water Skiff Challenge starts today

Well our KWB team captain just posted an update on the KWB forum, they got slammed by the storm front while still in the bay at PC so they had to stop and make repairs thus the long delay, the made a decision early on to really outfit the boat with state of the art electronics so it had dual Garmin ...

Re: 2019 Capts for Clean Water Skiff Challenge starts today

I was surprised at the ICW run as well, the YF and HB boats ran the ICW at around 40mph last night :o Not sure exactly what happened to the KWB team but they got way behind around PC and meandered around for a while before running out to the Gulf only to back track back to the bay before running the...
