I have a couple Shakespeare Tiger rods that I really like for trolling. One has a Shimano Baitrunner 6500 on it and the other a level wind reel. In both cases, when you are trolling the Mann's Stretch lures or other lipped baits, the rod tip bounces along with the action of the lure enough that you...

The real question is, when are the best used boat sales going to start popping up from this cycle? ;-) Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk I'm guessing 18-24 months, or sooner. Considering FL is the biggest boating market in the US, and highly dependent on tourism, and unemployment claims just s...

Looking for advise on where to find Scallops in ST Marks. We went out Sunday and found a few (12) but really could find them like I expected we were on the grass flats on the east side of the channel. It did get kinda rough and it was high tide so the water was a little deeper then we expected. Any...

Hoping for more offshore capability, Everglades 243, or possibly a cat that will keep me fishing the bay, but more comfortable in rough water.
