Reds and Specks
I apologize for the very late post.
A couple of weeks ago, my buds and I ventured out to test the waters near the lighthouse.
We had a couple of outstanding days even though bait was an issue. The morning tides were very nice and in the afternoon, the water was ripping out.
Some results.

Re: Reds and Specks
Oddly enough I was just talking with an FWC friend this morning who said they busted a guy that posted a sailfish pic on facebook. It looked undersize but since they had already cleaned and disposed of the carcuss they couldn't get them on that. They did however write him to federal tickets for not reporting the fish and not having a permit to harvest it.eightwt wrote:The other guys are just camera shy....nobody would post illegal fish on a public forum.

Re: Reds and Specks
I saw that picture and it did look too short. Buddy of mine caught one in Mexico Beach last week in 70’ and saw another free jumper. He was safely released. Wonder why all of the sudden they’re showing up so close to shore.tailwaters wrote:Oddly enough I was just talking with an FWC friend this morning who said they busted a guy that posted a sailfish pic on facebook.

Re: Reds and Specks
Think I saw ya. Y'all split up and were hitting all my spots! Glad y'all had fun. Please check with me before fishing them. If you were where I think, we rarely get nice specks like that, so good work!
I think y'all also moved off just in time, because if you are who I think, I hooked a monster bull on a tiny mullet. Only saw him briefly before he chomped the leader. Thank goodness he did not spool me.

Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?

Re: Reds and Specks
That group from Dothan is usually quite a few fishermen. One or two boats pulled up on the bars, guys wadingDixieReb wrote: Nicely done! You had 5 guys on your boat?

Re: Reds and Specks
Yes, 5 fishing but only 3 catching. Unfortunately, some of our guys experience fishing envy

Re: Reds and Specks
LOL. The snapper come first but it won't take long to put two snaps in the cooler and then I have to catch something and it's gonna be HOT so trolling sounds like a plan. I don't plan to keep one. I doubt my dogs would eat it.Salty Gator wrote:Why are you going after dog food with a few days left in snapper seasonJuan wrote:I know I do.. but I plan to slay a few kings tomorrow and cure it.

Re: Reds and Specks
That’s funny , they are fun to catch. A buddy caught a legit 40-50 pounder. We tried t revive and release it but I fear it ended up as crab food. I can’t post pics here anymore. I’ll text you a picJuan wrote:LOL.
