Re: Trolling for grouper

You don't need wire for grouper trolling. I use 30 or 40 lb braid which seems to track better and deeper than mono.

Car engine

Anyone have an idea of how to get rid of a car engine that was left on a piece of property I own? Any scrap guys that would have a way to lift and load it?

Re: looking for fishing partner for louisiana

Can't go with you but wish I could. I have fished South Louisiana many times and believe November to be the absolute best month for redfish in the marsh. The area from Golden Meadow/Catfish Lake to Grand Isle is my favorite. One thing I would caution you on is to check for when duck season opens and...

Re: Mercury service

I'll second the recommendation for Pete at Sunshine Boats. They have always done a first-rate job keeping my 1999 Merc 150 two-stroke in good shape.

RIP Glen Campbell

Dead at 81 after struggling for too many years with the dreaded Alzheimer's. What a musical talent he was. Those who knew him primarily for his many hits may never have realized what a fantastic self-taught guitarist he was. Here is one of my favorites in a session he did with Leon Russell. https://...

Re: Chandeleur Islands

I did one of these 23 years ago for my bachelor party. Can't remember the name of the boat or the cap but it sure was a way to pass a good time!

Re: Sale on Gulp baits

I agree with you Silver, the cats and pins do love them, but so do the trout. I've had days where they would not touch a DOA or whatever else I had but I could save the day with a new penny Gulp. I don't always use them, but I always like to have some along. Steve, I noticed also the softer formulat...

Sale on Gulp baits

Was in Dick's Sporting Goods in Tallahassee yesterday and they have Gulp packs on sale 4 for $20 this week only, and with a $10 rebate Gulp has going if you buy 4 packs net cost is $2.50 a pack. They had a pretty good selection of the most popular colors.

Re: Sibiki Rig St Marks

What they said. I shorten the sabiki up to only two hooks for pins on the flats. Lot less tangles and they usually bite the bottom hooks anyway.

Re: Prop repair?

Thanks for the replies. The hub is old and I probably would be better off getting a new one.

Prop repair?

Is there any place in the Tallahassee area that rebuilds rock-damaged aluminum props? Or a recommended shop in another area I could ship it to?

Sure glad I was not running the stainless; shaft and seals appear to be ok.

Re: Grilling fish????

For me, depends on the fish. For redfish, I drizzle on butter and fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle a little Tony Cachere's creole seasoning on it. For trout, I use very little other than salt and pepper with butter and lemon.
