Buddy, Nice report. If you go to http://www.bigfishtackle.com/ on the opening page at the bottom left hand side under the heading "Resources", you will see "Fish Species", click on that and it brings up a list of sea and freshwater fish groupings. Colour photographs,description, ...

OD, Nice report, thanks a lot.

Having half the catch as keepers is quite a result.

When I have fished for trout on the NE ICW in Spring, most of the catch is below the keeping size limit.
Is there a season or time of year when you catch the bigger fish?
Or is it just luck?

I know what you mean Lee, its hard to concentrate on anything if you are not comfortable.

I thought it was only the English ducks that crept up behind you.

I surf fish for the European Sea Bass,which does not grow as big as the Striper, in the UK and in northern Spain.
