Decided to risk the very skinny tide tues. Got to creek about 11:00am expecting to see the ramp at least wet. Not so. Three hours into the time the tide was supposed to be rising, it was still going out. Finally had enough water to drag the Stumpnocker off the trailer into six inches of water. Five ...

Ya'll just keep throwing them lady fish back. Save them for me! I really like the paddy's made from them. The trick is to keep them cold. Fillet like any other fish, flip the fillets over skin down, scrape meat out with spoon. No bones, white clean meat.

Sorry to hear it. He was around this forum awhile.
Heartfelt thoughts to Bud's family.

Sounds like you were up in my territory that day. I was trying to catch a few mullet in the first creek north of Adams.
Seafoam green Stumpnocker.

I fish a cork slowly mostly on the flats or creek mouths. I use a Texas rigged bait worked like a plastic worm inside the holes in the creeks trying to pull the bait down stream of the tide.

Yes pinfish tails. One fish, two baits. They are pretty hard to catch on the flats this time of year. I have a few deeper holes in the creek they lay up in when the flats gets too cold for them. Had trouble getting them with a hook. Caught most with my cast net. Caught a few finger mullet, but could...

Just a short report. Wife and I decided to exercise the Stumpnocker a bit. Got to the creek a little after noon. Just planning to make a short run up the shore. Water temp 61 degrees. Little windy but nice and warm. Caught a small Red in second cast. Caught a total of eleven short Reds and one twent...

One thing I've learned after fishing for nearly seventy years, and many of those were tournament years, is that we get fairly impatient when we feel that our fishing space is being intruded upon. Real or imagined, it pisses us off. I've had certain guides well known by many folks here do the same th...

They claim it's clean. It's so clean that.....a few years ago every house on Pucket and Spring Warrior road were told not to drink the well water because the aquifer was contaminated by the chemicals from Buckeye. They had to provide bottled water to everyone on those roads for years. Then all of su...

I tell ya'll I was raised, and lived most of my adult life on the gulf from Crystal River to Panacea. Over the nearly 70 years I've been here, the only area that ain't been ruined to me is from the Suwannee River to Carrabele. Been expecting it for years. Rich folks from somewhere else have been try...

Having fished the Big Bend for over 65 years I've got few fishing goals not already achieved by this point. I lived in St. Mark's, at Nut All Rise, and Spring Warrior as a young man. As an old man I've been living near Yates Creek since retiring now for past fifteen years. I fish at least four days ...

Steve, I was looking at the map on the link Scalawag posted yesterday.

Seen the map, but didn't quite understand the route from Dixie County through Taylor County. My land and house is a couple miles east of Beach Road at Dead Mans Curve. Looks like the proposed route would go close to me.

Was able to skirt the low tides, and fog long enough Tuesday to get out for about an hour and a half. Incoming tide, water temp 63 degrees. Most Mullet I've seen in the creek this year. Had problems catching bait, but finally caught a few Pinfish. Ran to first spot, first cast, both my wife and I ho...

Inflight seagull. Strange fighting a bird while it's flying. Talk about drag screaming.
