I will also have to agree with were redfish4sure is coming from. How about a diferent perspective. You get up crack of dawn, prep and drag the boat, already got bait, gear, snacks, beverages, from the day before. Meet your buddy, load and stow his stuf. Drive to the ramp, launch the boat, blast off to the “secret” spot. The bite was crazy on, sooo…Two hours later you’re putting the boat back on the the trailer, packing everything back up, and heading to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Because you caught your leagal limit. Right? Or do you “cull” so you can fish longer? Seems to me like a lot of work for a few hours of fishing. So why not catch and release? I have known guys to rocket back to the ramp, take the fish to the truck, put them on ice and go catch another “leagal” limit. Also “offshore” was told, " Man I just fillet those “snaps or grouper” and put them in center of a 20lb. bag of ice. Shoot I burned alota gas getting out there! Green jeans won’t find 'em." Just what I have been told buy a few. Sadly, we all know some of those folks.
“If it were catching, Everyone would be good at it.”
HA, iFly, that’s perfect. good memory, that’s from four years ago.
Good memory? Not really. Couple posts do stick with me. Number one memory is when DaMoons outlined how a scientist explained to him how birds eat tarpon eggs and poop them out into little local ponds where they grow up and eventually swim out to our local inlets. Miss you (on this site) Moons!
I have a half a memory about some guy who said he hooked a 100lb tarpon on a Zebco behind Bulls Island. I remember that one because my nephew got a nice jump on a tarpon behind Bulls that same year; but; not on a Zebco.
This guys’ thread from 4 (or so) years ago sticks with me because, a couple fishing buddies won’t let me forget it. They bring it up every year and laugh and laugh and laugh about that old thread.
