The time you see can be set in your profile. Set it to - 5:00 for EST - 6 for CST.

GS the forum used to do that, automatically take you back, but I have made several code modifications and I think I broke it. I will try to fix it.

It's mine.

I'm here, but I've always been here.

Got to the Aucilla at 6:45 this morning. Not much water in the river at all on the -0.4 tide. Was the 4th boat in the water went back down to the same area as yesterday and the trout were schooling like bass and busting on top. Caught 10 keeper fish in 30 minutes. I hooked several fish per cast when...

Don't fret, it just needs to get colder. Fish have not concentrated yet. Wait till next week after this cold blast we are having.

My paw-in-law and I got down there about 7:15. Started with mirrorlures and put 9 keepers in the box in one hour. I caught 6 in 20 casts. Couldn't buy the 10th fish after the boat traffic started. If you go get there early. Lots of folks did well on reds and black drum using shrimp on the bottom. On...

Not really. I have caught and lost some that big or bigger in that shallow before. Isn't the net ban wonderful?

GS was kind enough to post this on the old board, so I thought I would bring it to the new board because it is great information. Ever wonder how to remove the throat from a fresh grouper? Well here's how. First off, fillet the grouper just as you would normally do. I usually cut around the rib cag...

I deep released some too. I don't think it was the rods I think it was the leaders. Gotta get some 100# stuff before next time.

We were in ~30 feet just east of Marker 24. The water temperature is still too high for trolling. 65-68 is ideal.

Got another chance to go with Jim B. aboard the RunningBare on Saturday in the St. Marks Flotilla 2. Joining us was RedMann and CrabJoe. We met at Jerry's at 6:00 and got bait along with Live Line and Sawbones. GS and Steve Stinson showed up also. After grabbing 4 boxes of bait we were off to meet J...

Fishing Report of 12-10-01 Apalachicola, St. George Island to St. Marks, Florida -- Offshore Yes, Sir. The fish are biting and the boat parades are happening. I love this time of year! All the lights, decorations, friends and family getting together to celebrate a very special time. And the boat par...

Here is a technique for fighting big fish on light tackle I like to call Palming the Reel When fishing the flats I normally use 10 pound test line or less on light spinning tackle and sometimes hook some really big fish. On smaller fish you can use just the drag to play the fish and constantly adjus...

1) Leave out as much line as your rod is long. If your rod is 7' long leave 7' of line out. This makes your rod and line into one huge shock absorber. Too many times I see novices reel their line up and leave only 3-4 feet out. This will get you a few things such as, broken line, broken rods, or a r...

A lot of hard work.
