It is being created as a result of the high number of lost traps in the Keys and S FL, but the project covers the entire state and is for all ghost traps. Thanks for reporting the ones you've seen.

Please go to http://snookfoundation.org/ to view an article about this new project. The project is a result of the huge number of ghost (lost) lobster traps in the Keys, but is cer...

I was researching your question about ghost traps over the weekend for a project that the Snook and Gamefish Foundation is working on. The bottom line is it is against the law to "molest" any trap, even if it is unmarked, derelict, has no buoy, and is full of crabs, lobster, etc. with no e...

My apologies, I didnt see the price listed. Good luck with the sale

Asking Price??

Beeready: I was only comparing to Shields, which was the posted recommendation before mine. Between them and Shell Island, there's no comparison. I've always found truly good folks at all the other places you mentioned. Geez, Chill!

That is a great piece of legislation and will be pushed by the Sports-men's Caucus in the Congress. Having Congressman Danny Webster as a sponsor is great. He is a former Speaker of the House in the FL Legislature, and very well respected in DC. Hopefully word of this Bill will spread through the va...

The folks at Shell Island Fish Camp (AKA St Marks marina) are great people and provide a good base of operations for you. They have cabins, motel rooms and park model cabins; slips for your boat after you launch at the fort ramps; and bait, ice, and tackle. They can also fill you in on what and wher...
