Filmed by me alone using Mavic Pro drone that I flew up above the boat and then put into "active track" mode (using phone as the remote controller, you simply drag a box around the object you wish the drone to track).

Though it was the first time putting the drone over salt water, I DID DO a DYI ...

Ok, so more than two months behind but been crazy busy and what's the old saying, "Better late than never?" :lol:

Try keeping this one from being too long... few BBF long-timers might recall my main fishing bud for years was Sharkman. That is until his career path took him to Tampa.

Past few ...

Don't think anyone will be arguing with you on that one... :wink:

Curious of general location where you were hunting... begging forgiveness for the poor grammar, looks a bit more "sprucey" and / or "cedary" than the North florida spots I sit over. REGARDLESS, HECK OF A NICE BUCK no matter where ...

Indeed, Salty Gator!

Not so sure I expect them to stay there long but no small feat for them even to have gotten there... one thing beating Southern conference foes for an undefeated start, but MUCH bigger thing for 2 of the victories thus far to have been over 2018 final 4 teams Loyola and the ...

Then again, looking at the second picture maybe the one in velvet isn't quite as good of jumper as the other... and paid a painful price.

Here's my .02 for whatever it's worth and it's relative to whitetails as I'm not well studied on any other deer species... and will add I welcome being corrected if anyone thinks I'm off course.

Shedding is triggered as fall approaches, daylight begins decreasing, and testosterone levels increase ...

Getting old enough that birthdays are a bit bittersweet. Time seems to fly by more quickly each year and I can't say I find birthdays quite as exciting as I did when I was a kid... BUT... having lost a few friends close in age in recent years (forum members Rocket and Rhettley included) I am QUITE ...

Congress could cut welfare and their own salaries and put that money towards teacher compensation and improving benefits for active duty service men and women and health care for veterans. Will it happen? Not likely.
Silverking, I think "not likely" is misleading... reminds me of this scene if you ...

For our next Irony Handout lesson, look up how much in federal farm subsidies last year were lavished on wealthy non-farmers, including many who don't even live in rural areas (hint: it's in the multiple billions of dollars). How can this be? Many of the beneficiaries are our congressfolk who write ...

PA, reminds me of a saying I was taught at P.I. quite a few moons ago... one attributed to old' Dan Daly at Belleau Woods, "“Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?!” Think I get where you're coming from. Not a death wish as much as just wanting to be able to actually live and ...

Can anybody speak to whether or not ANY fish kills have been noted INSIDE of the bay versus just outside it? Reason I ask is friend / forum member Sharkman who now lives near Tampa is targeting a trip out of the St. Marks area this coming week. Think he was wanting to fish inshore and close offshore ...

Dang near twin to my own. Love 'em -- absolute fishing machines.

Hard to beat for versatility of fishing local skinny waters AND running offshore to fish for deeper water species. Good luck with the sale! Didn't already own one I'd be giving you a call.

Those who know Rhett will know he's one of the GOOD guys -- most definitely a kindred soul with all the forum members who deeply love fishing and being outdoors. Feel blessed to have made his acquaintance and enjoyed a few trips together.

Lifting prayers for Rhett and his entire family.

That little gator would be a snack for the ones that patrol the Refuge creeks
Know you speak the truth, Gary, but I put in for Jefferson tags so I could harvest off the pond we live on.

At 25 acres it has a few gators in it but no crazy monsters. Neighbor likes regularly taking his black labs ...

You do know that line you were pulling on was attached to a gators mouth don’t you.
Wish we'd been quicker to put a heavier harpoon line in it, but instead got pulled across the pond a couple of times before we were able to pull him up. Line on my reel was relatively light braid and as we've got a ...
