I appreciate you finding the above language. I agree that the legislature has granted law enforcement the ability to search coolers. I have my doubts whether that statute is truly constitutional (that is a long and unnecessary conversation), but I agree that it appears to be the law of the land. Whe...

The places you can hide a person and can hide a fish are two very different places. Simply read the statute. The authority is not in the Statute. The authority has come down thru court rulings incl. the Supreme Court. Not trying to be a jerk, but can you provide me with a case that supports your co...

Using dogs for searches is problematic for FWC too. As a recreational fisherman, law enforcement still needs probable cause or consent to conduct a warrantless search of a vessel and it's contents. The dog may circle the outside of the boat, but he can not rummage through the boat. Furthermore, the ...

The Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act went into effect on July 1. As I understand the law, any evidence gathered through the use of a warrantless drone would be inadmissible in court. Furthermore, a search based on evidence gathered from a drone would also be invalid. For those of you unfami...

I have caught both redfish and black drum on fiddlers.

Really need to stop using my phone for everything internet related. Just realized this advice is just a tad bit late. Oops.

Round up some sand fleas, or any other type of legal crabs. The reds, black drums and sheepshead love them. If you are going to toss cut bait, I suggest whiting. However, the stingrays and shark typically find the cut bait first. Fish on the ocean side whenever the surf is calm and the water is fair...

I have had luck chasing large schools of Spanish off the beach on alligator point. Always in the early morning. A plain gold or silver spoon or a bull minnow (if you can get your hands on them). I dont recommend bobbers. Those little @&%$+ will bite at the ends of them and sever your line. And a...

I just abandoned my iPhone and swithched to an an android based system. In the switchover I lost my fishing app. So does anyone have any input on the multitude of Florida fishing apps that exist? Looking for something with fish identification and regulations. Fishing maps, tide charts, and tips woul...

The docks on the Bay side of alligator point hold a lot of flounder. That would be a great protected area to fish also! I appreciate all the advice, but I particularly like this idea. Besides throwing live bull minnows, do you have any advice on bait? Technics? Also, is my memory correct that there...

I appreciate the help, and if I find them, I'll let you guys know. I have been fishing the incoming tide and apparently, I have been giving up too early. Now all I need is some good weekend weather.

I'm hoping to get a little advice. I love me some flounder but don't know exactly where to find them. Since moving to florida I have spent most of my time surf fishing, with quite of bit of luck. I have no problem finding trout, reds, sheepshead, or black drum. I recently bought a kayak (with dreams...
