Re: Scalloping boat driving etiquette rant!!!

I've seen WAAAYYYY TOO many scallopers WAAAYYYY TOO far from their boat, absolutely oblivious that they're that far from a dive flag. I try to avoid the scalloping fleet by a quarter mile minimum if possible, if not we slow down and watch for someone too far from their boat! I'm one of the most impa...

Re: FWC Redfish Survey...

think they need to do a survey on our trout population and go back to closing it for that month of February so maybe we will still have some bigger trout left. I have been proposing the same thing to some FWC folks. Close or reduce the bag limit on Speckled Trout in the northern half of the state f...

Re: Keaton beach marina (closed)

Hey to everyone that is concerned about the marina closing, my wife and I have been going to Keaton for years. Because of the service we received from Travis, his family, and Jerry we decided to buy an RV and come to Keaton as often as possible. We were finally able to acheive that and had a spot a...

Re: Where are the fish??? Shell Point / Panacea

Fished Friday west of lighthouse and managed 3 keeper trout to 23" and one 17" flounder. Not a bad day but the bite was tough. I tried top water early without anything so switched up to live shrimp under a cork and at least caught some fish. It was absolutely beautiful out there Friday. Th...

Re: Trailer Repairs

Use the guys at Coastal Trailer. The guy who bought Lee Sales on Crawfordville Hwy. is terrible to deal with. I had them work on my trailer about a year ago. Worst job I've ever seen!!! Some things done half-assed, some not done at all. Now it seems the axles aren't lined up properly because the fro...

Re: Now you are FORCED to take a survey to get a license

Or maybe they are well educated and understand what the survey is about. Data, not taking away your rights A better explanation would be they are just naive........ A better explanation is that they are biologists and know more about it than most on this board. Just keep bitchin about not getting t...

It's a sketchy sand ramp if I remeber correctly. You'd have to hand load on low tide if you could even get in and out.

Re: Ethanol question.

The new store on the Beach Road on the way to Keaton, Katies Kountry Korner, closed a while back. Not to be off topic, but WTF???? I haven't been to Keaton since October +/- so I was unaware of this! Seems weird because during the warmer months I'm there twice a month or more and have NEVER been th...

Re: Raymarine?

Would like to know too! I saw on Flats Class the other night that they had a raymarine unit that had the Google satellite views overlayed the chart. I've been wanting that capability for a while now.

I have a trap from AMS and 2 of the offshore models from these guys.. Catchlivebait.com and these traps will out produce the standard pinfish trap 3 to 1. I have the offshore model and they are small compared to the standard ones from AMS. All of the traps they sell have the same size inlet so if yo...

Re: Gentle On My Mind

I've gotten to where I despise the new "pop country" crap that all reminds me Taylor Swift crap. Been listening to the iPod almost exclusively in truck and the older country on XM at home.
