In one of our last summer adventures before school starts, I took the kids shrimping out of Green Cove Springs at the Governors Park ramp. At 11 a.m. it was pretty windy out of the northwest with the wind picking up. In the deeper part of the river whitecaps were everywhere. We tried to get out of t...

The water & weather were great but the scallops didn’t cooperate. We took the family and another family of four to Steinhatchee to have a fun day on the water and to participate in the Gainesville Offshore Fishing Club’s (GOFC) annual Scallop Outing. Before we left we realized that the scall...

Launching from Governors Ramp at noon I threw a 10 foot cast net for 4.5 hours netting (pun intended) only one gallon of river crickets (2 species), a few small blue crabs, numerous catfish, croakers, & soles, small trout, one gizzard shad, and a 18+â€

July 21 – 30, 2006 Our annual family reunion in the Florida Keys (Key Largo area) was excellent with all 5 families participating (wifers side, n=20 people). I can’t think of a better way to spend time together. This time we went down a couple days early with the goal of doing a more thorough jo...

For their intended purpose (running shallow) they work well. Around grass they are not a stellar performer. During the wintertime in Cedar Key the fish are shallow and back in the creeks. For the most part only air boats, Go Devils, and jets make it back there. After Tropical Storm Alberto this summ...

You summed it up well (“fun with the familyâ€

I frequent Cedar Key a bit. There are plenty of fish in Cedar Key although it’s getting to be a tough bite lately on account of the warm water. Fish early & late (watch for thunderstorms). The trout are deep (6-12 ft) and so are the grouper (45 ft +). Macks are usually all over the Seahorse Re...

In case you didn’t see the Gainesville Sun’s June 27th scallop article here’s the link and the article below. This report also indicates it’s likely to be a challenging scallop season. Brian http://www.gainesville.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060627/LOCAL/60627003/1078/news Scallops foun...

Objective [/color]: Determine if my Yamaha 90 outboard is adequate to push my 1900 - 2000 pound Duracraft 1860 tunnel jon as a ~65 hp jet foot Goal [/color]: Interchange the prop and jet foot assembly per seasonal fishing conditions (i.e. jet for winter time creek fishing, prop for summer flats, hu...

To help you get into that Christmas caroling spirit (spearfishing Christmas style). For those of you who have always wondered what some of the Gulf of Mexico hardbottom looks like--pay attention.

On Saturday morning the boat was ready by 6 a.m. but with showers on the radar we waited a bit for the rain to clear. Hurricane Wilma was to our south and the weather in our area was questionable with NOAA calling for Small Craft Warnings. Around 9 a.m., my sister-in-law Sylvia, myself, and four exc...
