Re: Seatrout Challenge March 18,2017 ROLL CALL
I've definitely created more shrapnel out of expensive outboard parts in the Aucilla than in the Econfina. The Econfina only has a few spots you have to watch out for, the Aucilla is pretty much all the way down and the rocks move at night.

I'd say you haven't fished Aucilla much. 2 totally different types of terrain.reelbad wrote:Yea, Aucilla is a hit and miss proposition, if your not careful. I would say that it is no more dangerous than Econfina on the same tide.
Re: Seatrout Challenge March 18,2017 ROLL CALL
Not trying to start an argument but totally different terrain ? A limestone rock at Ecky is just like the limestone rock at Aucilla. Yes might be more and larger I agree. I was simply stating that Hit n Miss could still fish Aucilla as long as he was careful. I have fished Aucilla and Econfina for many years. I have also bumped a few rocks at both places for sure, so I never assume anything.Redfin wrote:I'd say you haven't fished Aucilla much. 2 totally different types of terrain.reelbad wrote:Yea, Aucilla is a hit and miss proposition, if your not careful.

Yes - I agree a rock is a rock. Totally different terrain = Aucilla has above and beyond more stuff to beak an outboard foot off on.reelbad wrote:Not trying to start an argument but totally different terrain ?

I was thinking the same thing. You couldn't keep him in that Canoe unless you Super-glued his butt to the seat.Salty Gator wrote:Paddling, no problem.

1. Is the use of an attractant on artificial lures, i.e. Pro-Cure, prohibited?galantnole wrote:...because those are the rules set in place for this tournament series? Easy enough explanation for me.
2. Is "chumming", the use of "chum bags" or "chum blocks" prohibited?
3. Is "seeding" with bait fish prohibited?
Re: Seatrout Challenge March 18,2017 ROLL CALL
I could make the ultimate sacrifice of staying in the canoe if my partner was willing to drag us through the muddy portages between low-tide holes. I only weigh a buck fifty.

unless you plan on fishing and are going to have one of your highly commented on reels at weigh-in for your peers to see in person, then quit mucking up this thread with questions.2Salty wrote:1.

SG-like you, I may be in search of a partner. Let's touch base after this tourney develops a bit more if you're still interested.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

I will have to check my rules to determine if a doctor/lawyer team is allowed.

Pro-Cure or similar products applied directly to a lure would be allowed by a contestant who feels disadvantage.2Salty wrote:1.

Chumming and "seeding" is not allowed.
