Panacea trout

Went back to my old well for some trouts... the water is still cold but the ladyfish and bluefish are here?!?!?!! And lots of trout. All but a couple on gulp under corks. A few on top water but the lady’s would not leave us alone. 3-4 feet of water on a falling tide was the ticket. 309D40A1-F71F-42B...

Re: Two new moderators

I thought that might be you. Y’all came off of plane in the channel. I thought y’all saw the manatees, but I think you lost a hat or something.

Two new moderators

First, My apology for being absent lately... work and young kids have kept me off the forum as much as I used to be. I don’t like some of the tone I’ve been seeing. This place has always been fun but civil. And family friendly. Please email or message me when you see something that does not look rig...

Re: dunking reels?

I take my combos into the shower and use a warm gentle shower to rinse. Let 'em sit for a few minutes to dissolve the salt and then gentle rinse again. Back the drag washers completely off afterwards and let dry overnight. Haven't had any issues with reels using this routine. Is there an appropriat...
