$500 to $1000. Stay away from "toys" and "big box sporting goods stores" brands.

Look at Corrigan's Reef and Shell Mound north into the Preacher's Hole.

Had good success (spotted seatrout) about a week ago on Dallus Creek (good spot - was surprised it was already "buggy" late in the day when taking out).

Next place (between Horseshoe Beach and Steinhatchee/Jena Wildlife Mgmt. Area)? Cow Creek? Sink Creek? Rock Creek? Pine Log Creek?

Check out Nucanoe...Frontier 10 or Frontier 12.

Lakes steady, but salty spots bring more action (Posted on February 21, 2014) [edited] Typically, February offers better action to the North Florida freshwater angler than to those saltwater-oriented. So far this month, things have leaned a bit toward the coastal casters. But this week, most of the...

How you fish ("slowly"), with what you fish (artificial lures vs. live bait vs. cut bait) and when you fish are equally, or more critical, to success, particularly at this time of year, as where you fish.

I am thinking about buying my first kayak and would appreciate some help finding a good one. We travel for a living and are not in a givin place more than about six months at a time so I need somthing that hauls good. I will haul it atop my camper shell. I fish every where Big Bend, the Keys, the G...

Except raccoon.

[quote="red_yakker] Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe environmental stewardship includes doing what you can to maintain balance between the predator and prey population (especially in man-made environments like the suburbs, where natural predators don't exist). That means in the absence of natural...

If bman isn't 65 years of age or older he needs a trapping license. Also, it's illegal for anyone to transport wild-trapped raccoons. Hunting raccoons or opossums at night is allowed, but only .22¬-caliber rimfire firearms (other than .22-mag¬nums) or single-shot .410-gauge shotguns (using shot not ...

Got it a few too many raccoons in the yard. They have been harassing the chickens and raiding the bird feeders. One got in the garage and that put my wife over the edge. So I decided it was time to take care of the problem. Are you releasing the trapped raccoons in an area away from your yard or ar...

Either they are getting smarter or I put a dent in the population!

Hey bman,

What do you do with the critters after you've live-trapped them?

Boogers robbed me last night. Trap with the honey bun was empty- honey bun gone- and not tripped. Pnut Butter trap was flipped over and pnut butter eaten.
