Errman - some FBBF fly tiers are hooking up to participate with a store employee who is also showing some salt water fly ties - I believe it will be Saturday, August 16th! I'll check that date for sure and get back to all when I know it is carved in stone. :lick: Noleflyfisher - you can tell them yo...

:smt006 Sportsmen Warehouse is the "big" tackle store we have all been waiting on to arrive here in Tallahassee. The fishing department manager's name is Shane and one of the key employees in that department is Randy! The fly tying stock is outstanding with the prices extremely acceptable....

:smt006 Hey, Flint River Pirate - you didn't tell me about the hungry Shoal Bass way up the Flint River! Gene and I learned a lot last week when we crashed through the rapids above Norman's Ferry Landing and fished the swift waters for those 1st cousins to the Small Mouth Bass. The channel catfish a...

Great post, Nothing like good friends and good fishn :thumbup: ....by the way how big do the rock bass have to be to keep 10 or 12 inches..... :smt006 According to my 2007-08, Fl. Saltwater Regulations (that is now soaking wet - I'll need another)...Black Sea Bass must be a minimum of 10-inches, yo...

:-D TallyFly, Dangerous Dave, and I decided to come out of the shadows and fish the Aucilla yesterday morning using the Gerald Craft . Put in around 7:30 a.m. with the tide still high and beginning to fall out. Wind ESE 5-10 MPH, most of the day - very nice. Sea water temp around the low 80's. We ra...

:thumbup: Gerald (TallyFly) and I really enjoyed the meeting last night as it has been a few months since we have attended! Great show & tell on the flounder info - I liked the black majic marker & Carolina rig fished SLOWWWW. :lick: In fact, we are headed out to fish the Aucilla Sunday...ma...

:smt006 D-man! You Rcok! Man, I'm still laughing about that old fruitcake running around harassing those kids and fishermen out there on that Leon County Retention Pond...I can just see the ole coot out there waving signs around as our NFGFC holds a meeting out there some time. I needed a laugh toda...

Great Report, I wish I had noticed your first post asking for some advice, we have picked up a few pointers over the years. Although it does not sound like you needed any help! Great job!! Next time you head this way give me a holler, I would like to follow you guys out and show you a few spots. :s...

WTG Capt. Get us some photos of those cats! :smt004 You are absolutley correct, bman - I need to take some pics and learn how to transcribe them onto this site...I'm sick of not being able to do that technique. As soon as I can afford the camera and learn how to post the pics, it will be done, sir!...

:D Gene and I had a great day initiating our Flathead Catfish careers yesterday. By the way, many thanks to the two fellas that responded to my query about fishing for flatheads! :beer: We put in @ Horseshoe Bend Landing about 7:30 a.m., the air temperature was around a cool mid-60's degrees, with c...

:smt006 Good morning, all! I'm up early @ 4:30 (yeah, you think?) getting ready to launch my first adventure in quest of some big catfish. :roll: Anybody out there chase these grouper sized whisker fish? :smt007 If so, I would like some advice, as I am learning the sport from the "seat of my pa...

:D Maybe it is time for a bit of good news (instead of cursing our fate in elivated gas prices)? I'm given to believe (sources of information varies so I shall not quote any) that the price of gas may begin to fall as a result of the "truckers" threatening to strike because of the rising f...

:thumbup: Well done, TC! Glad you are getting some fresh water bass fishing in the veins. I share your delight, too, in fishing the fresh water lakes and rivers - although, Lake Talquin has been a cold hearted lady to me at times (but, I admit I do not fish her often enough to learn her secrets). :s...

:smt010 Yes, unfortunately, some places in Leon county have developed the "closed" mind set, too! The Panther Creek Sod Farm (that use to be our FBBF free fishing hole) is now CLOSED due to owner concerns about being "sued" (as a result of the drowning incident that transpired on...

:thumbup: Way to go, Berry! That's it, I'm fixing up the surf rigs and headed over to, at least, SGI - where I hope the Pomps & Whiting are hungry, eh. :lick: If I can get Bobby over to MB where the "family" has a beach house, we'll = more surf fishing, or better yet, bay & offshor...
