Also...those flats I fish are very tide dependent. Those particular flats I won't fish in anything less than a 5.6' tide, and that is the lowest of the high tides I'd fish it. Even then only a few of the lower flats will flood enough the reds will get up in them and the window for fishing them is ve...

Thanks Ranaman... Those flats I'm fishing are on the northside of Jacksonville. The short grass is pretty hard ground for walking. The taller grass gets mushier as you get closer to the creeks, but still not horrible. So, it is pretty good walking....get to your flat, park your boat and head on out ...

Thanks guys.

Showboat, I'm not sure what SJB stands for but thanks for your offer. I will be moving into Tallahassee that first week in May probably so I won't be able to make it. But thanks for the offer. Sounds like a lot more fun than moving

Ahhhhhh well that makes sense....

I'll be very interested to hear how you think it holds up and looking forward to pictures posted on it....

Neat build. Question. Why add carpet? I could see how it could possibly be quieter, but wouldn't it be prone to mold and mildew in our humid state? How do you keep it from doing that? I have little experience with carpet in boats is why I ask....

Nice job it looks like though.

When y'all have been talking about flats fishing, what are you talking about? I would "guess" not the same as when I talk about flats fishing since we've got such different, vastly so it appears to me, tidal ranges. But I could be wrong on that. This is what a great flat would look like: h...

Thanks for those thoughts as well. Here's another question. Does anyone know when they spawn? Or at least how late? I talked to someone briefly and they said April is a great time to fish them because they're spawning, but that person didn't know how long they would continue to spawn. Any thoughts? ...

Have you tried, when you go in or out for the day, cutting the tackle off and just spooling a lot of line out behind the boat and "trolling" at slow speeds for a while? We have that problem sometimes and getting knots and birdsnests with braid but it's usually the ten pound braid. We let l...

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to trying to find them...

Sounds like a great Spring Break to me.....good for you and good for them.

Those are some faaaaatttt bass they're holding up

Steve told me that he and his buddy used to fish for Stripers and Sunshine bass out in the tallahassee area but that was many years ago. I'd love to catch some, so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction? What time of year is best? What baits? I've got a canoe, but also have...

I like the get two rods idea. That said ive got an 8' xh shimano terramar rod that i got for beach fishing as well as big fish fishing. Here in jax we have spawning bull redfish in the fall and that rod is awesome on them. Also great for slinging lures and bait way out to tarpon as well. It is prett...

Redfishing for sure...
