Friday was the last day of the Florida Gulf of Mexico recreational red snapper season with nice weather. So we picked up the boat from Martin Marine in Carrabelle and headed out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231130/bf6ba5a1227888681dd64257497aeb9a.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231130/...

That's really cool. Great report and great pix. What kind of underwater camera do you use? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231116/f70a0b1067a7ddda25792c7448a925d3.jpg I use a $40 knock-off GoPro camera from Amazon. The advertisement for the camera indicates that it is waterproof to 40 meters or ...

Last Friday, the four of us on the boat needed to limit out on red snapper when we fished out of Carrabelle. My freezer at home was empty of fish. Because the seasons had been so limited in the past, I wasn’t really sure where the fish would be in November, but I figured the fish would be in shallow...

I don't think sensible fishing regulations can exist if NOAA Fisheries is underestimating fish populations and overestimating catch rates. See Bob McNally, OutdoorLife, NOAA Says It Has Been Overestimating Recreational Saltwater Catch By 30 to 40 Percent (Sept. 14, 2023), https://www.outdoorlife.com...

Get well soon so you can feel even better by catching some fish.

The last day of gag grouper season earlier this week, was the first day and only day that I had to target gag grouper this year. My friends and I targeted the fish in state waters is south of Carrabelle. While going over some of our old grouper spots it seemed that the ledges and rocks were much mor...

Great photos, Danibeth. You are a true artist.

Try Martin Marine in Carrabelle. Martin Marine does all kinds of boat repair and maintenance work.

Personally I think day length has a bigger effect, but I'm primarily inshore fishing. Those underwater shots are awesome! Thanks. The water out deep is a little murkier than it has been in the past. Maybe there is still a bit of sediment in the water from the hurricane. Sent from my Pixel 6 using T...

On Friday, I picked up my boat from Big Bend Marine, in Perry, where I had it serviced. This was just in time to get some old friends together to target red snapper and gag grouper on Saturday. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230924/6818365682f0ec76cd231d0adc7effe2.jpg We departed Carrabelle and ...
