Thanks for the response Chris! After thinking on it a bit more, what you guys thoughts about requiring that all fish over 19" be released year round? A fella can't keep a 28" Redfish, why should he keep a 21" trout (note: I have kept a couple that size and bigger). I wouldn't disagree...

As a seasonal (fall/winter) angler I'd be interested to see the opinions of why closing catch and keep in Jan/Feb would benefit the fishery much. From what I understand that is a time when the fish receive relatively minimal fishing pressure. Meaning, shutting it down in Jan/Feb provides less benefi...

Thanks for the tips fellas! I'll try a few things in this thread and get Humminbird on the horn.

Fellas, this is my challenge. The East Gulf Navionics Platinum Plus chip had been working perfectly in my Humminbird 997 C SI. I bought the chip about 9 months ago and received 1 year of free updates. Decided to do the update recently. Everything seemed to go perfectly and the update was completed. ...

I know that something like this wouldn't make it up into Apalachee Bay but they're over towards the panhandle.

Good stuff, thanks. Might have to fish out of the boat a bit more this trip...

We saw some more big bulls today. It’s been almost every day now. Appreciate the heads up as I enjoy walking the bars and casting a fly. I'm thinking ankle deep is about as far as I'll be going in this trip which will be spent entirely in Apalachee Bay. A buddy of mine has seen some Tiger Sharks in...

Is there anywhere to launch a kayak in the area, other than the Lanark Boat Club Ramp?

Nice. I live in Montana and get down to Apalachee Bay whenever I can. If you go driftboat shopping, a Koffler is a good choice. I have the RMT model.

TCSO, I remember when you were shopping and was wondering why you decided to move away from the SeaArk and what you're planning to move to. I fish out of a SeaArk 1860 MVT and am interested in your response.

GLWS!!

SOLD right away. I maybe should have asked for more. Buyer said it looked brand new. Aaah, don't beat yourself up. You got what you thought was a fair price and it was. More importantly, what did you switch to? I have a Jackson Big Rig and am considering selling it and moving to a Native pedal kayak.

I don't facebook either but was able to watch the report. All seems fine to me. AI/Evan - Thanks for the report! I liked it, especially the dude talking about fishing on surface. I'm coming down to fish in a few weeks and while I am pretty much FFO (fly fish only) I have some surface flies that I'm ...

TCSO, perhaps you've found a boat since this thread died. I shopped for a Seaark for a few months and bought an 2012 1860 MVT Pro from a guy in Tallahassee a few weeks ago. Has a 70 Yamaha 4 stroke and twin 10' power poles. It's gonna be named the Bar Hopper if you happen to see it around. Really go...

Thanks man!

Silverking, I have a few larger Deceivers and a bunch of Poppers, thoughts on the patterns pictured below? I was thinking the Tan one which I tied a bit larger. Thought I'd try the black one for Reds.
