I mean we shoot shotguns during duck season. I don't know if it's legal or not but I'd feel better about my day in general if someone wasn't out there firing off rifle rounds.

You can get more complex if you like but most every species of Inshore fish can be caught on a lead jighead tied to flourocarbon leader baited with live or artificial bait. The most common live bait here is shrimp and pinfish. Also mud minnows or crabs can be used. For shark fishing use a wire leade...

I would describe their taste as, "Good enough". I don't make a habit of keeping them because they stink. I've been told they make great civiche, but I don't eat that either so I don't know. I thinks it definitely worth trying. You may really like it. Now, if you catch a stingray, fry that...

Sharks from the bank eat the same as sharks caught from the boat. Depends on how big of sharks you are targeting. I'm assuming the smaller variety so it'll probably be blacktips, bonnetheads and sharp noses. I'm not a big shark eater because I hate the way they smell but you can eat all those I list...

Are you in witness protection?

Great post BBG. Thank you for posting, I didn't know that about the deep to shallow migration.

Idk it seems they are always prevalent during the hot months. I just wish they ran a little bigger in general, they are a cool fish to me. Aggressive, great table fare and pound for pound a good fight. I catch them sometimes when they are not even hooked just have a death grip on the plastic tail an...

Yeah that'll make it a bit tougher for the inshore guys to harvest one. I haven't landed one that was 33" this year but I haven't been targeting them either. If the FWC feels this is a change that needs to be made I can support it, although it seems to me there hasn't been a huge shortage of co...

. I did not see the man this week out there but he was cruising the boats the week before. They're not always in patrol boats wearing uniforms. :wink:[/quote] Couple months ago at st marks I had a single guy in a jon boat come motor up right in my drift and start fishing. Let's just say after 15 mi...

Glad there's some around. Sounds like it'll be a slower season, especially in Apalachee Bay. Sure don't see too many dive flags displayed on the flotilla shots. :thumbdown: . Resolution not great on phone. They are there but not as high as should be. And lots of idjits running with there flag up an...

Thank you silverking I will look into that. BBG I appreciate the information. As of right now I do not actively target cobia or triple tail so it wouldn't make sense for me to carry tags for when I do happen to catch either. Although triple tail is a fish I would like to focus on more in the future,...

I've always been interested in tagging fish, redfish mainly. I would have to admit I'm ignorant on the subject and the google searches I have done have not provided the information I was looking for. Is there a tag and release program in the state for recreational anglers?

I'll be bouncing around all week between fishing, the floatilla and grassy. If you see me say hey, I like to meet people of a common interest. Will be hitting the water around 10 am Friday morning and early Saturday. Be in a frontier bay traded in the skiff. Been reading your reports on your site. ...
