Great report and great fotos. What would that Swiss cheese bottom look like on downscan or fishfinder? On the sonar, you don’t see any depth changes, but you do see some evidence of fish. It could be big fish. It could be small fish there’s just not enough there to know for sure. It’s my understand...

Early on Saturday morning, we picked up the boat from Martin Marine in Carrabelle. Fortunately, all my trailer lights worked after a tip from Martin that saved me hours of tracking down the electrical problem. (On my own, I had tried fixing the problem with the lights by using contact cleaner, diele...

Yes, people who go fishing should take a few moments to tell us how they did. a couple pictures along with the post really helps as well. By the way, I went offshore fishing on Saturday and caught fish. I will post more about it, including pictures from above and below the waterline, this afternoon.

When we spear a fish in the brain or spine, the fish gets floppy ….. interestingly, it never firms up, even when iced… makes it harder to clean… I’ve tried to read as much as I can about the ike jime process and why and how it is supposed to improve the taste and texture of fish. The floppiness of ...

I went offshore fishing yesterday out of Carrabelle with three goals--put my friends on red grouper, figure out how to use my new ike jime tools, and take underwater videos. We accomplished the first goal. My friends put a few nice red grouper in the cooler and we released a few large red snapper, t...

I've never seen cats playing with a fiddler crab before. Great picture.

Great analysis.

Please see if you can forward your analysis to FWC staff or their elected superiors who might care more than FWC staff.

I spoke with my friend who attends these meetings. He said the Fed's are recalculating and reassessing their catch data as it is obviously flawed on the recreational side. The commercial side is within their catch quota and won't be affected. So.....what that means to the 2024 season......to be det...

It’s not surprising. The regulators have a habit underestimating fish in the water and overestimating fish catch rates.

This is a great post, but I’m still not ready to try a bonito.

We dive and see it over and over…. Look for hard bottom areas with no more than 1 ft relief

Thanks for the tip.

That’s a very gaudy pile of fish. Great report.

Good pulls even if the grouper were out of season, I ran off shore to dog Ballard out of ecofina last weekend looking for grunts and some good black seabass to be disappointed with short black seabass and a bunch of sand perch.

Nice report. It looks like you had a great day on the water. You must have found them in fairly shallow water, no evidence of barotrauma in those pics. :thumbup: :thumbup: Thanks for reading and for the feedback. We were fishing in depths between 85 and 95 feet, but most of our fish were caught in ...
