Re: Steinhatchee 3/17/17

Good deal. This cold snap wasn't as devistating to the trout as I thought is would be.

Re: Ecofina 3/17/17 report.

I fished in close behind rock island today because that's where I thought they would be. Caught a good handful of shorts and a few keepers for the most part 100 yards from the grassline. Talked to some guys I know that fished today too and they killed them out from spring creek in 4' of water. Man y...

Re: Ochlockonee Bay

I'm going a couple days this weekend too, but haven't decided where yet. I know it's going to be tough but as of now the wind looks manageable and I haven't been in almost two weeks. If I were you I would focus more on areas I have had success with reds, I'm pretty sure the trout are going to have t...

Re: Steinhatchee mixed bag

That's a decent mess. Did you get wet? I wanted to get after the sheepshead today pretty bad but weather kept me home.

Re: Lanark, Oh Crap and Seatow

I almost needed them yesterday myself, spun a prop 14 miles from ramp. I called to let them know I was going to idle in but to keep an eye out if I couldn't make it. Lady on the phone was very profesional. That was the first time I've ever had to call them since being a member(7 years). ***For thos...

Re: Keaton beach Saturday 3/11

I stuck my finger in an upper slot reds mouth the other day and paid for it. He chomped down ripped skin and my thumb throbbed like I hit it with a hammer. I was getting too comfortable lipping them.

Re: Berkley Inshore spinning rods

They do look similar as far as color scheme and similar handles but I doubt it's the same blank. Could be I really don't know but I doubt it.

Re: Berkley Inshore spinning rods

I've played with them in the store, they seem to be a rebranded wright&mcgill rod, for the same money I bought a no8 tackle company hell-bent inshore. Is that a good rod? I don't know much about lower end rods but I'm wanting to buy some for people to fish with when they go with me to keep them...

Berkley Inshore spinning rods

I was browsing the internet looking at gear and came across these rods, price tag~$50. I've never used one and was wondering about them. Anyone have any experience with them? I know you can't expect a ton at that price point but are they worth $50 to have as an extra? Reasonable durable? Decent back...

Re: Panacea 3/9

I wasn't in a yak. I saw a yaker paddling out as I put in yesterday morning, I was the only vehicle left at the ramp when I loaded up. Went to see if I could find some trout on the flats. Found some late morning then bite stopped during slack tide and the wind really picked up. Hid from wind in in D...

Re: Steinhatchee Creeks

I just glanced at your boat on my phone didn't realize is was 23, that's pretty large for creeeks but still has to do more with draft. You'll have to be particular about when you try it, watch tides and avoid north winds. I'd try last 3rd of incoming and once the water turned and started pulling out...

Re: Steinhatchee Creeks

A lot of variables in that question. Depends on boat draft, tides, wind and individual creek. You should be able to cruise in most with that skiff in your picture in a good full pool though. I'm not familiar with the creeks in the particular area you are referring but I'm sure they are similar.

Re: Kayaks and Gators

Has anyone ever had a Gator get aggressive with you while fishing from a kayak or canoe? I was told by a fella that he would not fish from his kayak in Carr Lake because of big gators. I want to fish there out of a kayak. :o I don't fish from a kayak much but I'm sure it's okay, I just wouldn't cro...
