Caught the trout mainly on jigs of various color. The redfish were on jerk shads since they wouldn't quite warm up to the topwater plug.

Headed home from my internship in Brunswick, GA with DNR Coastal Resources Division with the desire to catch some fish in clear water. Took one of the Wildlife Biologists that went to Warnell and works at the office and fishes a good bit off the Georgia coast. After looking at the winds and tides I ...

When I came in I talked to several all having a rotten day catching, except one. 2 fellas in a stick steer bote said they limited on trout and reds I did not see the fish, but he told me where.

Redbelly- That was me, my report should be up by tonight while I get all these pictures together.

Usually, as long as the wind is below 15 mph in the bay you can find somewhere to fish. Take a look on google maps and get a good idea of where you can go from each landing... (Presnells, City landing, and the intercoastal landing) One of the biggest differences is the fact there there isn't the oys...

After a miserable showing at the NFGFC tourney last week I decided I didn't want my last trip to St. Joe for the year to be a bad one. We ended with five trout and a few flounder but those were some of the toughest 5 fish to coax. Tourney day we fished from Blacks to Windmark with alot of big hits o...

This is all great in my opinion. Pretty soon everyone will learn that each person is entitled to their own opinion. There is no need to get over emotional about the argument but everyone's opinion is all valid. Yes if overfishing is occurring then our coastal resources can be affected. However, goin...

Regulations are set by the government after data has been studied thoroughly. The men that go out and study the population dynamics and overall abundance of fish are confident that if each angler goes out and keeps 5 fish with one being over 20" our fisheries will be sustained and not crash. If...

Brian- Its looking like a big bag tourney again. We were gone at 10am so we could get back up to athens in time to study a bit. I hope I can get all my finals done so I can participate in the tourney. Maybe I'll run into ya next time I come down.

To help preserve your "spot" I will say that it was spanish land yesterday. We caught 3 trout out of the area with that one being the largest by far. No hard feelings and next time I'll do a little cropping to the picture!

Came home from school for the weekend with another one of the fisheries guys to get a break from all the pre-final mayhem. I decided to go out of St. Joe and try my luck on the backside of the weather system that came through. We woke up at 6 and realized the system had already passed. We got out on...

I'll be down in St. Joe also. Gotta get a trip in before finals.

Speckled trout females may spawn several times a year. They usually spawn at night between dawn and dusk along large grass beds to help hide their eggs. Unlike bass and crappie, speckled trout are not nest guarders. They are brood hiders where the females can release millions of eggs (in large femal...

Not sure how they thought what they were doing was "tolerable". Complete idiocy.

It'll be up to school whether I show up or not.... Got a test to get out of the way first.

Anything I can bring let me know. Maybe some cups and some sweet tea?
