Those bruisers should start showing up here in East Pass next month. Two nice catches, right there!

Had to find clean water to find any fish. Fished Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 2-3’ over grassy flats. Popping corks , 18” leader was the best rig keeping bait drifting over the grass. St George and Dog Island flats are on fire .

Fatherof4 , I also repowered my 93 MA with Yam150 six years ago. Yes it is 100 lbs heavier than the 175 two stroke I also took off. I’m Running 19” 3 blade for hole shots, and yes you give up top end. Mine tops out at 42mph. Never had a jack plate, but I do have to use a little tab to keep from porpoising. I’m also in panhandle area- Carrabelle Good luck

I used Gulf Coast Fabricators in Perry Florida to build my poling platform after repowered my 93 MA 18 . Not sure if they still take outside work since they are so busy with boat manufacturers. Here is their # 850-584-5979 .

Very nice, what area are you fish’n? I’m out of Carrabelle River and see quite a few triple tails coming in .

Great catch !! we have been getting our share ,

Took a fish’n buddy out for his first red fish trip. Slight breeze, water temp 84, all the conditions were great. The fish really cooperated too. It didn’t take long for the reds to bite, we ended up with 2 upper slots and 3 nice flattys . Crooked River Grille did a nice job preparing our flounder.

Thanks guys. I very rarely target trout and not having my attorney present , so I missed that new regulation. edited!!

Took my neighbor Robert on quick redfish trip. His 1st red was 26 1\2 “ . We caught 2 more trout, one just over 20” for dinner. Wind was light at 10 knots, water temp 73 degrees. The bite was very slow even though tide was rising . And that’s why we call it fish’n !!

Fished out of Carrabelle with grandson Logan and his friend. They each caught an upper slot red and Logan managed a nice black drum. After fish’n couple hours ,they explored the old hurricane vessels on Dog Island beach. Those 3 fish made for a great fish fry that night.

I only had couple hours today and only today, rest of week is suppose to be small craft advisory. Dog Island is still holding nice reds. This fish was right at 27, and went home for blackened fish sandwiches. Wind was light,6-8 and tide was incoming, water temp 59 .

The mouth of the harbor on east side of Dog Island, fish the flats below the dunes, either side for reds. The flats at ballast cove, watch your tides, the ballast rocks hardly ever exposed. East pass is still holding some bulls,warning - don’t take a knife to a gun fight. east of marine lab have always held some reds. If you see green 18.5 MA, give me a shout. good luck, Don

The south side of Lanark reef is a go to spot for tarpon, you can’t miss it for the staked off guides. And yes ,they are very territorial. There are plenty reefs just off Dog Island if you’re interested in bottom fish’n. Go to Franklin County reefs for a list . Good luck.

Smoked king I remove all skin and especially blood line . Cut in small cubes 3-4 inch square. Drizzle olive oil, liberal sea salt and coarse black pepper. I smoke on Weber with soaked hickory chips till golden brown. Remove fish and rest while I prepare smoke fish ingredients.
