The upper part of Terra Ceia Bay, above the bridge at Sea Breeze Point just past the Crab Shack usually has a bunch of smaller trout and decent size ladyfish. I take my Grandson trolling in a canoe with a trolling motor there using 3" GULP pogy's (pearl) on 1/8 oz. jigs, or any kind of curly ta...

I very much agree that live bait chumming is ridiculous. IMO it should be banned. The FWC just needs to answer one question - If it's ok to feed the fish in 'protected aquatic preserves', can we feed the rest of the animals also? How about if I set up some feeding stations for spoonbills so I can ph...

Kudos for an excellent, proactive policy.

I apologize for the remarks I made about this area, was just still pissed off about running into the mullet men. This area has a lot going for it, nature and people - wise, and a lot of problems, like everywhere else. I just wish more people were like most of those I read on this forum, and could re...

Good question and point, but with the lights off couldn't get any boat numbers. As far as I could tell, & I was trying to fish not study mullet boats, all the boats had cast nets. I think Palma Sola Bay is probably a bit too exposed for gill netters, maybe not. I understand cast netting mullet i...

Launched into Palma Sola Bay at 0430 today, within 30 min. was almost run over by a mullet boat running without lights. He saw my headlamp at the last minute. No fewer than 5 mullet hunter boats blazing all around that little bay this morning. One brilliant pair kept making donuts at high speed in t...

Hacksaw the end off, leave 8", cap with a rubber chair leg cap from WalMart. Done.

I'm certainly not as experienced as many who post here, but do fish a lot at night, so I'll share what's worked for me. I go real simple on gear, often taking only one rod/reel. I throw white Gulp 3-4" shrimp & pogys, Mirrodine & Mirrolure topwater plugs (Poppa Dog, Top Dog Jr.) in clea...

Very nice job & great google pics. The Vamo Road launch across the bay from Turtle Beach is another good one. If you see a guy crammed into a tan Heritage Featherlite at Buttonwood Harbor, say hi.

Went to Vamo Road this weekend, 3-7am. Nothing but thousands of mullets back in the groves, not a bite in 3hrs. Went across the intracoastal to a little flat between mangrove islands for the last casts & hit a school of reds on the feed. Caught 7, 3 in the slot. Last minute action saved the morn...

IMO, chumming is going to need to be banned eventually. All it takes is to ask one question: In what other regulated, managed, wildife environment are people allowed to indiscriminately feed the animals? Answer: feeding wild animals anywhere that is under any sort of wildlife management is universal...
