Bud, I understand the court case which has moved from court to court without any justification. I also understand the problems in the river basin. You feel it's Ga fault I feel it can be fixed by Florida. Greed is the problem. Its obvious that our populations have grown everywhere including Atl and...

I don't know who you've talked to, but you've been misinformed. Not only is there a fight between FL and GA over equitable apportionment of the the ACF river basin, but that fight is currently before the Supreme Court, where it's been since 2013 (and is now in mediations with a Ct. appointed Special...

The lack of freshwater and Ga withholding is 100% false. First of all most of the rivers have hit flood stage several times over the past few years. These systems have experienced high waters for extended periods too. Secondly, if anyone wants to look at cause/effect of water withholding, you shoul...

The spill itself didn't directly impact any of those things. You can attribute them, oysters in particular, to mismanagement and the tri-state water war. Anticipating that the spill would make it over here and destroy the oyster beds, the state of FL gave the go-ahead to harvest as many as they coul...

As much as I love bringing home 2 reds/person, it's necessary for now. Two years ago not only were reds more plentiful in the areas I frequent, but the slot fish I was bringing home were in the 23-26" range. In the past year, same spots, the average-sized slot fish has been around 20", wit...

slowroller, what's the weight of that hull?

Barry, congrats! Looks like y'all had a great time. It's been 3 years since I was last down, but seeing those Fulvous and Mottled ducks has me wanting to get back down there next season. What was the band story for that banded Mottled drake?

Congrats on your first FL duck hunt

FWC is spread few and far between, and the outlaws know it. I'm back in MS for the semester, but in the cumulative 4 weeks that I was home hunting (Thanksgiving and Christmas), I saw FWC on Miccosukee only twice. There were several mornings where I was the last to leave, and several evenings when I ...

The G3's and other similar, large jonboats are versatile, but they will beat you senseless in a chop. I would hold onto the Gheenoe Classic for the creeks, etc., and try to find a good deal on a used flats/bay boat. Some really nice late 90's-early 00's boats can be had for roughly the same price po...

This is a pretty good deal for someone looking to add to their spread or start one. For reference, I think those tangle free coots run somewhere around $50/6-pack.

Another vote for stingray wings, but any oily fish (jacks, 'cudas, bonita, mackerel, etc.) will work well.

I'm glad they've put together an ID video...still won't help with the guys who flat out don't respect the sport or the resources, but it's a great tool for young/novice hunters. Unfortunately, more whistling ducks will die in N.FL on opening day of teal season than in the entire regular season combi...

Any and all of the above. I've had days where everyone on my boat was fishing some color/form of gulp, and couldn't buy a trout bite. Rummaged through the bottom of my tackle bag and found an old pack of chartreuse curly tail grubs, electric chicken paddle-tails, etc...made the switch, and proceeded...

I'm sure there will be plenty of safeguards. The passage of this bill would be a big win for recreational snapper fishermen in the Gulf.
