Definitely some big bass in here. A buddy and i fished a couple weeks ago and caught 7 together. He's been back a couple times since and has caught a 4 and 7 pounder. Finding them up near the banks on the NW and SE sides.

Up early and on water @6:45 with my 5 year old. Jack on topwater in 2', catfish on gulp, short trout on gulp, 2 sharks and 2 short sea bass on asassins and short cobia on gulp in the boat no problem. Big trout on gulp, big flounder on spoon, several spanish on jighead and gotcha and a couple redfish ...

Made my first trip to Econfina on Saturday. Never realized that the Ecky and the Aucilla were so close. :thumbup: Definitely gets me closer to the spots I've had good luck at lately. Could not buy a trout bite. Wind was kicking up and waves were rocking the boat. Ran from some rain but found some ...

Grits come out a little dry but the hushpuppies are great. Think I'll smoke some of the trout. Anyone have any good tips?

Took a day off along with a buddy from church and hit the water at 7 AM. Fished ALL day, otherwise I'd have to be at work :thumbdown: . Hit some previously marked spots and my buddy began showing me up. 19.9" trout, another and another, a flounder. Thought I was going to see a show all day but then ...

Ate the ham, hid the eggs, hit the road. Put in at 3PM off by 7:30. According to my guage, water temps at surface hit 72. Water waas choppy, very stained and murky. Boated 2 keeper trout in 4-5 foot of water on jigs and 1 26.999" redfish on a gold spoon up near the grass banks. Quick trip, good ...

Thanks for the ideas guys, keep 'em coming. I'm sure everyone has this problem every holiday and birthday. I like the custom "something" idea so far.

Father in law's birthday is next weekend and as always I have no idea what to get him. He has everything I have and tons I don't. He fishes off shore out of Destin on a 27 footer and has the gear for that. He does a little inshore for trout/reds. Hunts for deer and hogs and seems to have everything ...

Shimano Terrmar 7'6", 10 lb PP will cast a mile! Great for spoons, light weight soft plastics.

Simple trip, great results. Took my buddy who recently had twins out for a morning of fishing. He just wants to get out of the house so the success was a bonus. Not sure what the weather was going to be but it turned out to be quite nice until @ 9:30, then the wind took off. Fished near the mouth of ...

What a day...that's one to remember.

Took a day away from the job and headed to the river. On the water about 7:15 first red by 8 on a black/gold skitterwalk, 22". Drifted out to some rocks 1.5' and bagged a 18" trout on a pink skitterwalk. Slipped over to a bar to await the incoming tide. Threw into a school of passing jack crevalle ...

Luckily I had nothing else to do this afternoon...108 for the first try.

Had three young Obama/Biden backers come to my door last night @ 7 as I was eating the redfish I caught on Saturday. :lick: We heard the dog bark and knew someone was in the yard but they just stood at the door for 5 minutes without knocking!?!? I finally opened the door and they stood there shocked ...
