I finally had a successful turkey hunt. I set out this morning less than optimistic given the thick fog and warm, humid conditions. That and the fact I had not heard a single turkey all season. Shortly after sunrise I did some soft tree yelping from my first spot. After 15 minutes I was moving to ...

Me and a buddy at work went out yesterday from the Fort. Started at sunrise and fished until 1:00. The first two hours were gorgeous…mild wind, pleasant temperature…great time to be on the water. We loaded up the live well with pinfish and then went to the stake line and drifted. We caught sharks ...

Stopped by the Wakulla River ramp at the hwy. 98 bridge today. I was surprised to find that it is closed. According to the signs and the activity, a new ramp and parking lot is being constructed. The signs say the construction will be complete in spring 2023 (it won’t be completed in the spring ...

Whelp …The gobblers beat me this year. I came close this morning, but something went wrong and the gobbler retreated without giving me an opportunity to shoot.

I have been chasing some toms for the past three weekends. Every morning I have heard three different birds. Every weekend I have called one of the toms to my location, but each time the bird hangs up out of gun range.
Yesterday, I called in a tom and a hen. The hen walked right up to within 10 ...

I am going to miss the first week of turkey season this year. I will get after them though. Already been scouting and confirming that the birds I saw during deer season are still scratching around. Good luck to everyone!

Today, I accomplished a decades long personal goal…harvest a buck on public land! I was sitting on my tree stand situated next to a creek bottom that borders a secluded acorn flat. I was not optimistic because my trail cam videos showed that the bucks are nocturnal. But, I had a few hours to waste ...

We found some redfish along the oyster bars between markers 37 and 36. My son caught his first redfish…a 15” red. Live shrimp on the bottom worked best. We fished the rising tide until 1:30pm. No trout 🙁 We caught a stingray and some catfish too. I completely forgot to check the water temperature ...

Albritton Electric is who I call. They are taking new clients if you are willing to wait.

I agree with everything you said. In fairness, every once in a while Miami Boat Ramps will showcase one boater who does everything perfectly. It would be nice to see more of the right way of doing things.

The Keaton Boat Ramp is being featured on the YouTube channel Miami Boat Ramps.

Yesterday, I hooked into the biggest trout I ever laid eyes on! Unfortunately, the hook came out before we could get the net under it :(
The trout was easily 26-27” long. Big yellow mouth. Thick as a loaf of bread.
I hooked the trout in 5-6’ of water halfway between the Lighthouse and the sandbar ...

I can’t wait for someone to invent electric powered air boat engines and electric mud motors!

Frog or toad?

I just remembered to post a resolution for my gps unit that was on the fritz. My batteries were drained just enough that the gps unit would not stay on. After fully charging the batteries the gps is working fine. I have taken the boat out six times since April and the gps is working well. Thanks for ...
