Good points. My nephew like to tell of his trip in the early spring where he was fishing his little 14" aluminum. He said they were bouncing around like a cork in the waves and absolutely tearing up the reds on a gold spoons. He said they only left because their trolling motor ran out of batter...

They are actually good eating. Like all pufferfish if you avoid the gallbladder that holds the poison (or avoid all the guts in general) your good to go.

Gall bladder AND liver right? I have no idea, just what I have read.

Nice bird Danibeth!

Smooth Puffer. Started really seeing them in our parts a couple years back. Search smooth puffer on here and you can see pics.

Nice bird. I know where you killed him and I know where he came from! :smt006 :smt005 Those are some nice spurs. He thought he was a smart bird where he was, but you knew better! Great job. I am friends with Ken. He sent me one of those pics. I hit that place a few times after you and never heard on...

Buddy with me killed one on opening day. I killed one opening Sunday. Classic hunt. Heard him gobble about 11:30 in a deep draw and by 12:00 he was headed out for a truck ride. Nephew connected a few days later, brother a week after that. I put away the 20 and got the 410 out, really wanted to take ...

I have same unit. Came with boat. I also just felt like I would not really trust FMT that much either. Not that it is not great, if I were a tourney guy I might. I am so far happy with it. It is such a massive upgrade over my old one it feels so much nicer. Plenty for my needs. G3 and G3 vision have...

One of y'all engineer types develop a "break away" skeg. 2 bolts. Will break off when it hits and the lower unit is designed to allow it to snap away with no damage. Keep a spare on the boat at all time. Then get the engine manufacturers to offer a break away skeg option on their outboards...

Re I am in agreement with Red Beard. It doesn't take a rock much smaller than a soccer ball to ruin your lower unit or your day. These do not show up on maps. The best tool you have is your eyes.Although time consuming, several trips on a low tide exploring at low speed or idle speed is the way to ...

Depends on what your unit was preloaded with. I have the exact model as that and it was preloaded with the Bluechart G3. Look on Garmin for the extras that come with getting the BlueChart G3 Vision or the Navionics+ Vision and see if you want those features. I think the regular is fine, but I will p...

Went out about lunch time on Saturday. My two guests had never fished with me, one is a hard core bass fisherman, the other fished Mississippi area. I think they were pretty worried at first, even though I told them not to expect much, we were just killing time on the flats until the tide moved in a...

Better get there early!

Sorry, 411 views now! Maybe even earlier!

4 answers and 270 views! So if it is just 2 guys in each boat, that will only be 540 people. Unless some bring a third, then Rocky's estimate is pretty close.

Probably nothing. During the cold time of year it is more hunting than fishing. For me, I just move spots especially quick. If I pick up a fish, I tend to try to figure out why and replicate. We had a day like that a couple years back and it taught me a good lesson. Two boats, one fish in 4 hours. W...

(us old men too). Buddy that deer hunts a new lease I am in had three birds gobbling all around him on the last weekend in January. Pretty stoked for another spring. Goals: 1) Enjoy the days afield and the battles with birds. Win or lose. 2) Kill a bird with the 410 I have rigged for my grandson. Wh...
