I guess any three that don't make good bait like you mentioned. Remora was first on Saturday, then a hard head cat, then a ladyfish. On Sunday a bonnet head shark made 4 species for the weekend. I did get one 13.5" trout so that was a little hope.

Thanks for the info everyone! I'll keep trying and see what happens. I made a new push pole in the hopes that I would get in more shallow water with the temps coming down.

Might have to turn in my fishing license if I keep getting skunked like this. Here's hoping for some calm days on the flats, and some good weather for the snapper weekends. I feel the same way. Last weekend only one keeper this weekend none. We did catch the trifecta of trash fish Saturday afternoo...

That's what I was thinking. I'll have to get some of the other brands in different colors and some scent and see what happens.

Nobody mentioned the time of day. Is fishing at first light always better or does it depend on the time of tide more?

Can you put the unfairlures or Z-man in the Gulp juice or will they fall apart?

Sounds like a good deal, but I don't have a place for one right now. Trying to build a house so I can have an outdoor kitchen one day soon.

I guess I need a few more colors in the Gulp bucket. Thanks for the info!

How much are you looking to get for it?

I don't think I had any glow color, but the e-chicken seemed to be the brightest color I had except for pearl white. There was a lot of water draining out of the woods too, but it didn't seem to bother other more seasoned fishermen.

By the way, Dewayne with Rip A Lips Outfitters is a great guy and seems to be an excellent charter boat captain.

Water color seems a lot clearer than Econfina based on your report. I couldn't see the bottom in 2' down there.

My girlfriend was using live shrimp with no cork or weight Saturday and added a popping cork for Sunday/Monday. I think she hooked a big catfish or black drum first thing because it stayed on the bottom and popped the line at the boat. She probably had a Spanish on the second cast because the 30lb l...

Any opinions on what I could have done to catch more fish?

I feel like I need more practice catching and less times wishing! I spent the weekend at the Econfina river and by the looks of the tides I thought we were going to have a busy day catching fish. It was pretty exciting Saturday morning when we got out of the mouth of the river and my girlfriend was ...

There's a long discussion on The Hull Truth about Cape Horns, but it's from 2013 so things might be completely different now.
