Every time I see a post and there is a negative comment, you better believe the name to the left is Salty Gator. Either you have a wierd sense of humor or your name truly fits the bill... that being SALTY and probably a gator fan to boot... It will be ok I promise. The gators might go to a bowl game next year...

Looks like you had a great year, Jhults11! Do you have a favorite lure/bait for catching the big trout and redfish?

My go to big trout bait is a topwater plug...his ID will stay concealed and as far as reds go it depends on water clarity and time of year...spoons (Aqua dream and johnson 3/8 oz) and gulp jerk shads in the spring/summer and switch to live shrimp in the fall/winter

Thanks Jhults11. I don't use topwater plugs often but after looking at some of your pics I'll be trying them more this year. Good luck with the rest of your schooling!

Not a wierd sense of humor. I don't think sexual assault is something to joke about. Sorry if my post offended you.
