AT 100 YARD FROM WATERS EDGE IT MAY BE 22" DEEP. BOTTOM OF BOAT ON TRAILER IS 25". WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING OUT THERE AND LIFTING THE BOAT OFF THE TRAILER. BASS ARE STILL BITING, LAST TRIP NOTHING CAUGHT BUT A BUNCH OF SMALL ONES, IT WAS STILL WORTH ALL THE WORK TO PUT THE BOAT IN. FROGS AND W...

METALFLAKE GOLD - CLEAR WATER - DAYLIGHT
CHARTRUSE GULP - MORNING AND EVENING

NOTE:
THE WIRE ON THE REDFISH MAGIC IS VERY FLIMSY, I HAVE HAD THE WIRE BETWEEN THE GRUB AND LINE BREAK.

WE BACKED THE TRUCK OUT ALMOST 150' FROM WATERS EDGE AND WE STILL HAD TO LIFT THE BOAT OFF THE TRAILER, WHICH WAS NO EASY TASK. WATERS EDGE IS PROBABLY 100' OR SO FROM THE END OF THE BOAT RAMP. WHAT IS SHOCKING IS THAT IT IS ALL SAND, NO MUD. YOU WOULDN'T NEED A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. IT IS A GOOD WAYS O...

I SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW SHALLOW SOME OF THESE BAY BOAT WILL GO.

LETS HAVE A TOURNAMENT, AT AUCILLA, LETS SAY MID DECEMBER.

HOW MANY BAY BOATS ARE UP FOR THAT ONE?

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT YOU GOT. I WILL BET YOUR BOAT DRAFT VERY SHALLOW. STAY IN THE RIVER AND CREEKS FISH THE SHALLOW STUFF. THEM BAY BOATS CANT FISH THE PLACES YOU CAN FISH, IF IT STARTS GETTING TO ROUGH OR MOTOR PROBLEMS, JUST STEP OUT AND WADE BACK TO THE RAMP. STAY OUT OF THE OPEN WATER. "...

TWO WEEKS AGO-CLEAR - MOST BEFORE DAYLIGHT.

MONDAY- CLEAR - MOST AT DAYLIGHT

LOTS OF WORK TO GET THE BOAT IN, BUT WELL WORTH IT. LOT OF FOLKS OUT THERE FISHING. 7 BASS TO 6LBS ON FRIDAY LOST MORE THAN I CAN COUNT, POOR HOOK SETS AND UN-FRIENDLY LILY PADS. MONDAY CAUGHT A LIMIT OF BASS A COUPLE OF 5LBS-ERS, STRINGER WEIGHED 40LBS. NOT AS MANY STRIKES AS FIRDAY JUST BETTER HOO...

CT, I TRIED OUT THAT OFFSHORE CHALLENGER ROD I BOUGHT FROM YALL THE OTHER DAY, LOVE IT. THE ROD WAS SUPER LIGHT, SUPER STRONG AND PRICED A LOT BETTER THAN OTHER RODS I HAVE BOUGHT. A TURNED MY SARE OF GROUPER FROM THE ROCKS. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY OFFICE FOR THE PAST WEEK, I KNOW I HAVE SOLD AT L...

CHARTERED WITH CHARLIE'S CHARTERS OUT OF ST. GEORGE ISLAND (850-927-3351) A GOOD TIME WAS HAD. MANAGED 15-20 ASSORTED KINDS OF SNAPPER. 8 GROUPER, AND 12-15 DOLPHIN (FISH KIND). WE REALY COULD HAVE LOADED THE ICE CHEST UP WITH DOLPHIN BUT THE LIGHTNING FORCED A MOVE. MANY RED GROUPER WERE CAUGHT, AN...

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS WITH MORE EDIBLE SPECIES LIKE FISH AND TURKEY.

LAST YEAR WE LOST ONE AT THE BOAT THAT WAS THE GRANDADY OF ALL TROUT. HE HAD SWALLOWED 3/4 OF 14" TROUT THAT WAS CAUGHT ON A GULP. HE WOULDNT FIT IN THE NET AND WAS LOST. WE NEVER EVEN SAW THE BACK HALF OF THE FISH. LESSONS LEARNED: 1.) GET BIGGER NET. 2.) SOMEONE IN THE BOAT SHOULD BE FISHING ...

I AINT SAYING NO NAMES, BUT SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY LEAVE THE PLASTIC ON. I SAW SAME PERSON CHUNK ROD AND REAL ABOUT 20 YARDS DUE TO SLIPPERY HAND.

10- 12 YEARS AGO YOU HAD TO LOOK FOR OPEN SPOTS, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

A LOT OF TIMES THE PUSH POLE IS TIED OFF TO THE POLING PLATFORM WITH A BUNGIE CORD AND DRAGGED AROUND TILL NEEDED. BUNGIE CORD BREAKS OR KNOT COMES UNTIED.

CAN ANYONE REMEMBER WHEN THERE WAS ROCK GRASS FROM AUCILLA ALL THE WAY TO ECKY. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ALL THE ROCK GRASS? IT WAS SO THICK 10 OR 12 YEARS AGO THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD FISH IT WAS HITTING POCKETS WITH A FLY ROD.
