This one is yesterday as the rain was ending shortly before dark. On a roaster tail, I caught about 10 bass and bream altogether.
this one is this afternoon about an hour before dark. Maybe three pounds. Caught on a popper also three more bass and a bream on that popper, which was a first for me .

Oh hell no, I'd cast it back out and cut the line.



We had a Redtail hawk fly over our boat with a snake before but it was a gopher snake, still didn't want him to drop it in the boat.

It was pretty simple when I was 8. Just tell me when I handed him his Schlitz I could have one too. That worked until hmmm ok it always worked but as I aged the number went up. The metric was if I was still yakking I could have more. It didn't take long to learn that!

Nice red . To bad Florida doesn’t even have a season this year , I’ve got family in Pensacola and I usually fish in Santa Rosa Sound but it ain’t even worth the the toll to cross the bridge unless I go crabbing or shark fishing. I’ve got plans on doing some bottom fishing later on in June or September but once again there’s not much we can eat after spending all that dough.

yo bb , this coming season, these bigger reds are gunna be catch and realease, now you can keep 2 over 27 inches with 5 fish limit.

i usuaully realease these size reds, but my grandson wants to cook for sunday dinner,

the only reason i kept 2, the other one was 32 inches,

"oh btw pa, just fillet them before you drop them off." grandsons,,got to love them

They don't have flounder or Speck trout?
