9.catch and release helps small limits work very well…stopping commercial slaughter of breeder was the major contributor
Yeah sad but true!! If you live in a high risk area why should our rates be increased to ease the burden there??Just another regulation forced on us through insurance companies(a subsidy paid by me for you).

Well, here we go. I will keep this going for yal’s amusement, and to keep your minds off the potential inshore fish kill happening in the next 2 days.
Top 10 most priceless statements by toppyblue (it was tough to narrow it down to just 10)
1.Redfish come inshore to spawn.
2.Redfish are sold in restaurants in SC.
3.All artificial lures have treble hooks.
4.Gamakatsu model 02012 is stainless steel.
5.Baitfishing in a redfish’s “natural habitat” (priceless) is tougher than fishing artificials.
6.Limit on reds should be 6 per person. Doubt that would impact the population, might even help.
7.Optiker and Sailfish23 are commercial guys
8.We have to pay for commercial harvestors overharvesting and the unlicensed thieves that illegally harvest to sell.
9.Catching and releasing reds helps, but only naive, uneducated, self-righteous egotists believe releasing reds has any impact…Then later-Releasing reds and the small limits definitely help restore the population. (contradiction?) 10.Us recreational guys that live inland pay higher insurance rates for your “right” to live in a hurricane zone.
Again, thanks for the laughter, toppy. It would have been a boring few days without it.

2.I have not checked a recent menu but sailfish said he buys them from N.C and some kind of pond raised also.
This is a lie. You are a liar. You make things up that are not true to back up your ridiculous arguments. I have never purchased redfish from anywhere. Ever. Never a dining establishment or a seafood store.
Never.
Period.
This is another example of you making things up and passing them off as facts. Nothing you say is reliable or trustworthy.
Please, please go educate yourself and quit assuming that people are believing anything you say. You are transparent and predictable now. The schtick is over.
So sorry i guess you were just joking about buying and selling fish…my bad…If someone were a buyer…how would he know where the fish came from?? And if he knew they came from(say s.c.waters how could someone prove otherwise?

Stainless steel?s resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance and familiar lustre make it an ideal material for many applications. There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of which fifteen are most commonly used. The alloy is milled into coils, sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing to be used in cookware, cutlery, household hardware, surgical instruments, major appliances, industrial equipment (for example, in sugar refineries) and as an automotive and aerospace structural alloy and construction material in large buildings. Storage tanks and tankers used to transport orange juice and other food are often made of stainless steel, because of its corrosion resistance. This also influences its use in commercial kitchens and food processing plants, as it can be steam-cleaned and sterilized and does not need paint or other surface finishes.
Stainless steel is used for jewelry and watches with 316L being the type commonly used for such applications. It can be re-finished by any jeweler and will not oxidize or turn black.
Some firearms incorporate stainless steel components as an alternative to blued or parkerized steel. Some handgun models, such as the Smith & Wesson Model 60 and the Colt M1911 pistol, can be made entirely from stainless steel. This gives a high-luster finish similar in appearance to nickel plating. Unlike plating, the finish is not subject to flaking, peeling, wear-off from rubbing (as when repeatedly removed from a holster), or rust when scratched.
Some automotive manufacturers use stainless steel as decorative highlights in their vehicles.
I want my money back for all them stainless steel screws i bought if they ain’t no such thing, and hey my avatar is working that’s me and my wife of 38 years this year and my Road King with no stainless steel on it…
Ok I’ll bite, never heard something idiotic as saying stainless steel does not exist because its not an element. As someone who used to buy a few million dollars worth of stainless a year it does exist. It is a specific alloy of steal which is all man made. The full definition is below.
in metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French “inoxydable”, is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5%[1] chromium content by mass.
Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does, but despite the name it is not fully stain-proof, most notably under low oxygen, high salinity, or poor circulation environments.[2] There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are required.
Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present. Unprotected carbon steel rusts readily when exposed to air and moisture. This iron oxide film (the rust) is active and accelerates corrosion by forming more iron oxide, and due to the greater volume of the iron oxide this tends to flake and fall away. Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, which prevents further surface corrosion by blocking oxygen diffusion to the steel surface and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal’s internal structure, and due to the similar size of the steel and oxide ions they bond very strongly and remain attached to the surface.[3]
that’s kind of like saying there is no such thing as a boat or car or motorcycle since they do not appear on the element table, yet we see them everyday,
ok here is the summation of two days of bad weather and forum discussion :red fish are in the saltwater and they do or do not taste good, and they are or they are not on the rebound, and catch and release is or is not good for the rebound effort, i think all agree commercial harvesting of them was done away with by a law signed by Bush, and even if we do not like the law limiting the size or number we can keep, we will obey that law,and stainless steel may or may not exist and everyone on this site is a commercial egotistical non conservationist idiot except toppy , does that pretty much sum it up? i just want to make sure i have not wasted my time on this topic
I was at the Flying Fish Restaurant in Barefoot Landing last summer and the waiter said the special was local blackened RedFish. When I asked to speak to the manager, I was told their Red Fish comes from NC.
This idiot can’t read the difference between SELLSFISH and 23SAILFISH!

I don’t believe that is legal. Maybe SELLSFISH can elaborate.

Redfish can be legally sold in the state of SC. It must come from a state like NC that allows commercial harvest of the red drum. If you are selling it to the public, necessary paperwork must also accompany the fish as proof of origin.
seriously how the heck did that guy get that mixed up… my wife just asked me why I was laughing so hard… raddaddy please keep poking the bear! just too funny
Toppyblue, Im not really sure why you insist on positing ridiculous things and then getting defensive when someone tells you off. I sincerely hope youre a huge troll and you dont really believe these foolish ideals. But please do us all and yourself a favor and get off the site, and possibly move back to floride. Where you can harass the Florida Fish and Wildlife Department. Or at least go down to the SCDNR and have a serious talk with the biologists there. The DNR is open Mon-Fri 9-5.
And for gods sake learn your hooks and rigs if you want to conserve our beautiful redfishery without bi*ching on the interweb
“Toppy”…Are those the very same biologists that brought the wolves and coyotes here??/What a failure! Are they also the same ones that stocked those little varmints that ate all the bird eggs?
FYI:All that stuff they (Marine biologists)learned in college books is readily available to all on the internet, if you can log on and search for it.
Let,s talk point by point not general slander…I am definitely up for it.Dont back down BE SPECIFIC! If you are just trying to pull my chain and get attention,then please stop the childish behavior…"
Toppy, what you smoking? Point by point? Being specific? Dude, did you know that Wolf’s are native to S.C.? No, I guess you did not. And for Biologists bringing Coyote’s? Were is your proof on that one?! As far as I know coyote’s got here by escaping from “fox” pens. Foxes just can’t take the running like a yot can. Do some research and see how many “fox” pens actually have foxes in them.
And for a closer, what little varmints you talking about that are eating all the bird eggs? Coyotes are not little, you talking about armadillo’s? They were not introduce, they migrated in.
native???yeah they were wiped out and reintroduced on an island here in S.C.I believe they were red wolves…Then they escaped to land and had to be relocated.(wonder how they caught them? maybe they hired treemydog to get them…People,livestock,and wolves just dont seem to get along. But give someone a job and money in the government and no telling what they will do! I thought those georgia college educated biologists introduced the coyotes and they just crossed the bridges to us…Coyotes generally stay from people but they love kittycats and puppies and chickens,rabbits and your trash vans,and baby goats etc etc etc…I really do not know the name of the little varmints they put in Cape romain,some kind of weasel like otter thingie…I know me and a friend talked to dnr biologists in the field on cape Romain one day back in 2010 and they were surveying bird populatonns.they are the very ones that told me about the little varmints eating all the eggs and reducing bird populations…
