I'll give you $80 for it and pick it up Saturday or Sunday. I need some new boat seats for the Gheenoe so I can take Dad fishing.

Thanks! Never thought I'd get to see him.

Look at the lures tossed by most of us. Go back and pull up the favorite lure thread. Most folks are throwing things 1/4 ounce or less down to weightless flukes on a 5/0 hook. On the flats heavier lure just get tangled up in the grass on the bottom.

I kind of hate to even suggest it but I do have to wonder with oyster fishing in such bad shape that we might not have illegal netting of trout going on again. I remember when it was legal they'd wipe out an area overnight.

For trout, etc., I usually start out with rods rigged with the Mirrodine, a weightless Fluke (usually Zoom), 1/8 or 1/4 jig head depending on the depth and one will have a Gulp shrimp, the other a ZMan Paddlerz.

If it ever happens, we can see how the states alone manage snapper. My prediction is a difficult day will come when citizens will have to come to grips with whether they want to have ARS available on the plate in a restaurant or for individuals to catch for themselves. There is no "magic"...

I haven't gotten mine either.

You can get those R2D2 smokers for under $50 I think. Pretty hard to mess up with them.

I agree on the short leader. I've never had the line above the leader cut or broken by a king using a 8" wire leader.

We might have to change his name to Big Bend King.

The best way I know is to go to those ditches and drag the bottom with a long handled bait net. Dump the leaves and crawdads in the grass and grab them and put them in a bucket. I tried one of those Gee's Minnow traps in my pond and did well with it until a gator found it and tried to eat it. Flatte...

I'll try any fish once or twice. I can say that spade fish and lesser amberjack will never make the boat ride to the ramp with me again. I love fishy tasting fish but those two were rank. Grunts, Spanish, Amberjack, Kings, all get to participate in the GA relocation program.
