My guess is that you had most of the gulf to yourself this weekend. Hope y’all had fun

Re: SPANISH MACKS

I just filet them and freeze. Cut them in strips for Grouper and Snapper. A Spanish mackerel is not a REEF fish. :-D :-D Not trying to be a smart azz, but I think the man can give you a ticket for fillets on board. If not, then fillet and release would be on the table. I’m pretty sure a boat has to...

Re: SPANISH MACKS

I believe that any gulf reef fish cannot be used as bait. However other regulated species can but must be kept in whole, within regulated slot sizes, and count against your daily bag/boat limit. I think this varies per species. For example, I've heard of people using trout stomachs as bait, but kee...

Re: SPANISH MACKS

The rules change almost every day it seems so I'm only 99% sure they're legal bait as long as they meet the length requirements and you don't have more than the legal limit onboard. Billfish love em. :-D Does that mean they have to be whole? If they are chunked up, they could be short???? Again, ju...

Re: SPANISH MACKS

I’m not sure how to ask this without seeming like the guy that tried to trap you on the internet. But I assure you that isn’t the case,,,, I’m just hoping to understand the rules as I’m relatively new ( 10 years) to offshore fishing. Is it legal to use Spanish as bait? If so, can you carry more than...

Re: Jon boat or Gheenoe for flats

Not wanting to stir the pot but seriously I have to ask: Other than maybe banging out a dent being easier than fixing fiberglass, what's the advantages of an aluminum boat over glass? I've only fished in a couple and they were noisy, light and blown around in a breeze, leaked and rode rough. I have...

Re: Lowrance 9 Inch HDS Live still in the original box.

I have that unit in 12”. I really like it and it will run the FMT chip really well, it has a faster processor than the mid level units. Glws Not to derail but how do you like the FMT card? I’ve looked into it but didn’t think this area was covered very well. I absolutely love it. Our area isn’t as ...

Re: Lures -

I switched trebles for inline circles on my mirrodines a few weeks ago. I’ve had 2 really good days on trout and reds and didn’t miss a single fish. It’s so nice using a dehooker and release them boatside without touching them. I’m going to try it with tw plugs this spring. I’ll use owner #1 or 1/0...
