Hahaha. You are so right!

When I referred to "most people" on the forum, I could have just as easily said everyone but Gary Droze. I really appreciate it when you teach us about your experiences and share some spots.

My 2020 Fishing Goals: 1. Learn how to catch some of the fish that have been making me mad because I have not caught them very successfully: a. Cobia, b. Sheepshead, c. Mangrove snapper offshore, and d. Tripletail. 2. Tow the boat to places where I've never fished before. 3. Waste less meat when fi...

Re: Oil wells near the Dead Lakes, Apalachicola/Chipola Rive

For those that fish offshore the Exxon Template is an old oil test rig. Not sure how long it has been there but I remember going to it 25 years ago. I would hate to see our area look like southern LA our have any fracking in this region either. ARTICLE II, SECTION 7, Florida Constitution  Natural r...

Fishing Apalachee Bay at Night

My work schedule is preventing me from fishing during the day, so I'm thinking about fishing in Apalachee Bay, inshore or slightly offshore, in the evenings or at night. How's the fishing at night? Are certain species of fish more or less likely to bite after dark? Are there any particular technique...

Re: St Marks - Inshore August 11 & Trout Parasites

Seeing worms in trout makes me want to trade-in my bay boat for an offshore boat.

Re: Capsized

Yes, I heard the coast guard portion of the response to the distress calls as we were trying to beat the storms to the shore. Apparently, the people on the boat were rescued by a passing boat. Then, I heard the Coast Guard say to the captain of the rescued boat, “Sir, what do you intend to do about ...

Re: Memorial Day weekend

On Saturday morning, I fished for mangroves at O-Tower. We had no trouble seeing many of them swimming under the boat. Getting the mangroves to bite was another matter. My method was to feed sardine chunks on 1/0 hooks tied to light tackle and feed it into a chum slick. I hooked into two mangroves e...
