Re: 3/25/23 Fishing Report

If it weren’t for the slime and spines, I’m guessing everyone would keep them for the table. I’ve heard very few folks say they didn’t like them fried.

Re: Tournament Question: Seeking Input

I get what y'all are saying, but if I were fishing for 2 days at the coast, I would very likely keep my two legal redfish and eat them. I love redfish to eat. I keep very little fish to freeze so only keep when I intend to eat it soon. Isn't that what most folks do? PS Before someone says something...

Redfish live bait

Fiddlers this time of year work great. You’ll still need to weed thru a lot of trash. But, you’ll get a bonus every now and then.

Re: St. Mark’s 5/15

Caught some good ones fishing in 3 ft over spotty bottom on Sunday. Solid grass or sand yielded little.

Re: Hickory Mound launch

Hickory mounds in the winter is just like everywhere else. Creeks fed by springs, warm water sources, or deeper holes will be productive. Suspending lures and swimming jigs should work with a long pause. My guess is the reason your not seeing boats is your not fishing a creek with the features above...

First time saltwater fly fishing

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201213/87149ff239c10c7cdca048b85c28bdce.jpg Today was about experimenting. I’ve fly fished since I was little. Never in saltwater. I learned quickly the fly rod ain’t for locating fish. So I worked suspending plugs until I located trout. Then tossed a chauteuse de...

During negative tides limit yourself to launching in rivers and bays.

Re: What fish WON'T you eat?

I’ll eat any fish if its fixed by someone who knows how to prepare it. Way to many awesome ways to cook fish I’ve never tried. Here’s a few I obviously don’t know how to prepare: Carp I like the taste of gar tenderloin, but after a trip to the dr with an infection I won’t do that again. Pinfish(to b...

Re: Favorite Fish to Eat

So many ways to eat fish. How can anyone possibly have a favorite. I’m the only one left at my house that eats them, so trying something new every week is my goal. Blacken redfish is amazing served with pasta. Whether you go the olive oil route or red sauce. Hard to beat stuffed flounder. Fry em, ba...

The wisdom of boat ramp closures???

I fished this weekend, launching at a remote spot. Returned to find 2-3 times the normal crowd. They are absolutely making it worse and should be held accountable.

Re: How long until they close the boat ramps?

IMHO the closure of these remote ramps y the state, such as Econfina is really stupid. In fact, the closure of any ramps is stupid unless you can prove that they really are a hazard. If they are worried about folks gathering on sandbars, get out in a boat and police those sandbars. I pay the state ...
