Just bring that fellow that posted the pic of those tasty cheesy ranch potatoes. And some beer.

To the asshoke named daniel who sees it fit to harrass me with pms. My only guess because he’s to much of a yellow bellied nancy boy to do it in the public domain. A. Im not a fing redneck. B. Your the one who acts like a liberal obama supporting Yankee thay needs to more north. And C. I take my drum fried preferably in peanut oil.

For the record, that asshoke is not me

I was wondering about that! I really hate asshokes!

It’s a well known medical fact that redfish, trout, flounder and sheeps outside the slot, undersized or over the catch limit contain extremely high levels of mercury and are very hazardous, even life threatening to eat. It’s best to just release most of what you catch, or go ahead and take your chances.

Sounds good the more you release the more I can catch.

That’s really cool. My daughter want to tag some redfish this summer.
When you get a tagged report, does it give the specific location to where it was caught so you can see how far that fish has traveled, etc.
By the way, that’s one lucky fish. Been caught 3 times and never ended up on the plate of Treemydog or Toppyblue.

Oh my god!!! now 1 data point has become basis for a scientific study…I am sure there are hundreds if not thousands of tagged fish being caught…A mere drop in the bucket compared to hundreds of thousand or millions not tagged…

It would be interesting to see these numbers::: total fish tagged and released compared to number of these tagged fish caught after release.

how do you go about getting involved in tagging fish, and is it just for reds or other types,

Here’s some info from the DNR website on tagging- http://www.dnr.sc.gov/marine/tagfish/tagfish.html

Also found this chart from DNR on the abundance of Redfish in SC waters the last 20 years- http://www.dnr.sc.gov/marine/species/graphs/reddrumAbund.html
