MD, I'll also be down on there the weekend of the 18-19th. Don't forget the DEET...forgot it one morning last year down there and thought I was going to walk out with Malaria.

I'll miss opening weekend, but that's likely the only weekend I'll miss. I plan to hunt this area hard as usual and have a bonus hunt at MINWR in late December and another in the glades in January. With some water in the local lakes this year, I'm hopeful that folks will have enough sense to spread ...

It's a Lookdown.

Forgive the poor picture quality. This was by far my biggest trout to date caught back in April.

I wasn't trying to advocate breaking the law. I've watched plenty of fish float away belly up because they were either too small or out of season. It sucks, but I'm not willing to risk running into an FWC officer that's having a bad day and getting an expensive fine. If a fish is within the slot lim...

And if the fish released with a hook in his gills/gut doesn't survive, that fish is 100% wasted.

That guy may be able to help you.

He did a great job. Good luck to him, hope he wins.

Nice mirrored carp...

:thumbdown: IMO, spearing a tarpon for the "fun" of it is no different than shooting a deer and leaving it in the woods to rot. I also have a big problem with this: Cash Prizes for Tarpon...$100 for the largest, $100 for the smallest, and $300 for a "spawning capable" female. I c...

Thanks for sharing that...I'll definitely have to watch it.

That's a lot of doll-hairs for an anchor. Does it come with a snorkel and fins?...It should.

You had me going Dang April Fools jokes...it was wishful thinking anyways.
