Re: Another Spotted Sea Trout Poll
yeah ran into the FWC 2 weeks ago and he was telling me about this. this is def not the route they need to go. my opinion, if u want to catch or fish and eat'm, call a charter or buy and damn boat. just think how red fish was back in the day, when they commercially fished for them. i vote no!! all across the board! btw new to site
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day
