global warming; bring it on. Remember Lit's post a couple months ago on there being a decrease in pinfish numbers, a greater quantity of southern aquatic plants, early migration of pelagics...I can't wait for snook in the panhandle. I have joked about it for a couple years. Some people say the real-...

thanks guys. I'll do my best to preserve the details with my camera so I can share. It has got to better than last year, which was still a great trip. We had the worst weather imaginable. Rain and high winds most the time. Thought the Gheeonoes were going down comming across Choko bay. Everyday we w...

Appreciate the safety advice. All camping is by reservation only, so a float plan (not tenative) will be desposited at the ranger station. The only reason I am tenative as to how far we will be traveling is b/c we have to make sure the desired locaitons are available on the requested nights. No chec...

we plan on traveling from Choko to about Rabbit or Pavillion keys. We will work both inside and out, but have heard the outside is better this time of year. Last trip we spent most of our time inside, but we were a couple months ealier. Any suggestions on inside or out?

Glad to hear everyone had a nice time at the St. Joe tournament. That is some gorgeous water and I'm sorry I couldn't participate. Didn't feel I had a competitive boat with the winds they were perdicting. Also, sorry I haven't posted many reports recently, but not much to report. I did much better f...

how long are these meetings, and what time would you expect Capt. Goodrich to share his insight? I would really like to attend but have 6:30 commitment.

I haven't fished it since last fall. However, I fished it several times last fall and this is what I have learned. Numbers of bass aren't great, but if you put in your time and catch one it will be fun. I was only averaging about a fish every three trips, but most were between 4-7lbs. I have had dec...

sorry not to to make it to weigh in. I wasn't sure if everyone was going to stay near the water that long or just head home. My partner and I didn't have enough fish to weigh at any rate, so we headed for home. Only one keeper trout in the boat, and it was caught by partner. I lost one keeper boatsi...

I will become a member and play. However, Katie will not be my partner; I will call on the aid of another long time fishing buddy. Hope to meet several of you there.

Was there last weekend and didn't do very well. Although, I was more wedding planning than fishing. All I had time to do was a little surf-fishing and didn't catch much. One gentleman told me he had caught some pompano in the previous week, but I couldn't find them with shrimp or sandfleas on jigs o...
