Re: How do you fish for reds??
I agree that the bait is largely irrelevant, at least compared to finding willing fish. This time of year I'm throwing a lot of topwater baits. But I also throw a light jighead with any fluke or similar soft plastic and work it like a jerkbait. Gold spoons work great to cover a lot of water also. I ...

Re: 24 Volt Trolling Motor Batteries Question
I ran an Optima in a truck for 7 years. But trolling is hard on batteries. I just use the Walmart ones and have good luck with them. Don't forget that you need to charge early and often. Don't troll multiple days without a recharge if you can avoid it. Don't draw them down so low that there's a ...

Re: Tagged Cobia Recaptured After 239 Days
If a cobia grows roughly 5 inches in a year it just goes to show you that it probably takes 5-7 years for a fish to grow to legal size. Think about how long it took some of these 80-120 pound cobia to grow to that size. To me it kind of sucks to watch people kill fish this size. It's in our best ...
