Doesn't look like you need much help!

Of my three kids, she is the most like me. We don't talk a lot, but usually know what the other is thinking.
We had a special two days on the water. God grants us those occasionally.

If I could only teach her to clean fish!

Took my soon to be employed college grad daughter for a couple of days of winter time fishing, which by the way, I have little experience with. Went up the Wakulla early Friday. Said daughter quickly put a slot red in the cooler. I couldn't catch a cold, so put rod in rod holder while I played with ...

My favorite bait and tackle store of all time. Wish they were franchised thruout the BigBend and Panhandle.

Would salvage laws apply to a drone?

Ifishtoo, I fish out of Indian Pass. You can Cath snapper off of the wreck you are talking about. There is definitely more live bottom more toward the west. There is a protected area, "Madison Swanson" that is off limits but you can find some live bottom, ridges and what not north of there...

I would have to agree with Dubble Bubble though I walked behind a Snapper my Dad had bought me until about eight years ago. Have the dealer do maintenance once a year. All I do is put gas in it and sit on it. Occasionally I even drink a beer while on it(in the yard only).

That Detty's fish gripper is the best fish scaling device ever made. I have one that my dad bought back in about 1966 or so. Many a bream has been scaled with that thing over the years. Now when I use it to scale Redfish and those ever so rare ARS.

Doc,
Garmin makes a temp only sensor. Look up semperfifishing on the electronics section on thehulltruth.com and he will get you one. He will give you accurate advice on transducers as well.

Ouch! That does hurt. Were you in the river or just getting out into the flats when that rock reached up and bit your motor? I found out just how far the Rock Garden extends to the south a few years ago, but my motor got off light with only a bight out of the skeg, bent prop, and bent prop shaft, bu...

I usally drop mine in about 100 ft of water near where I am going to sabiki bait. Use northern mackeral. Be sure to squish them a little so some of the good stuff is starting to leak out. If you are in a good spot it will have a bunch of bait in less than an hour. We work a couple of sabikis while w...

Got my addiction to offshore fishing there a few years ago myself, so be careful! Rode out a storm the size of Katrina with my 10 year old son in my 22 ft bay boat, then caught a couple of mahis, a triple tail and a large king. Been hooked ever since.

Nice report.

Gyrene,
Triple tail usually hang out next to some floating structure like a bough, log, piece of trash or a crab trap marker.

Tabb beat me to it, but good afternoon. Don't post on here as much as I used to or should. Will try to whet some appetites in the offshore section before long.

That is not a blue gill. It is a red eared sun fish or what most of us call a shell cracker. It is one of the best fighting fish there is.
