We going to big lake! Heard terrible reports on V.b..
Plus wind forecast is a little to high for me in v.b

Talked to a guy yesterday that caught about 20 specks , good luck if u going Lawerance, I'm headed to big lake.

Fishing for cash at work. Good luck yall and be safe. Shouldnt have to be said but respect someone else who is fishing and give them plenty of space. If they are fishing 8 birds, don't fish those 8 birds too.

Always 1 in the bunch. Respect is hard to get.

Were headed out Sunday. Taking my 4yr old and 7yr old. Hope to get them their first sand trout and speck

the cove in am
 

had a coupe of good report\s today.

I am headed to the Cove, I am sure that if there are boats the fish will be there!

I have found that the smaller boats are the best ones to fish by. The larger, fancier boat owners usually dont know how to fish. They are usually rude if you get close to them also. The smaller ones are the locals that know where the fish are

GREAT, this is good to know! What is considered to be too close to boats on the fish?

You make it sound like fish are attracted to boats !!

Its public water, no such thing as too close

I find it easier to get close enough to jig the already caught fish right out of the cooler of the boats already on the hottest spots. No need to sneak up with the trolling motor. Just blaze right in, clean the spot out quickly and move to the next. I save a ton on bait.

LMAO!!!! There is some truth to this! Just get close enough to see what bait and color dey using. Bring popcorn for diverting tactics....leave bumpers on outside of your boat for protective close in maneuvers, and crank-up your stereo with rap music!




Gonna be a good time in da Bay!

Fished The Cove yesterday with 10 other boats. Water pretty but no fish. Went to The Hamock and water was dirty, again no fish, so went to Blue Pt. reef and nothing. Tried the north shore of the Cove (tried for reds) nothing. Tide was extremely high and did not move. A lot of empty trailers were at the landing but boats must have been some place else. Only saw 2 specks caught.

The cove this morning in my kayak.
Bite was early and spread out.
No throwbacks, made it home by 1100 with 10.

I will be loaded down with some dead shrimp, got in close to a guy one time and he was hauling them up with dead shrimp.
Time to hunt down some boat and Kayaks too, I will see how they do it. It is nice to get close enough to others to other fishermen and see if they share any tips.

I like to troll the cove. My favorite baits are Braid Marauders and Rapala Magnums at 7-9 kts

So that was you today.

Also had a guy with a gatortail that ran up to everyone he saw catch one fish.

Goodtimes.

Caught this weird fish. Threw it back cause I'd never seen one and didn't know what it was

Probably got in there when Toledo bend flooded

Looks like a snook.

Striped Speck. Caught a few a lil smaller in Sharks bayou before.

I was thinking it was striped bass speck hybrid. Shoulda got it mounted

You must be a lot of fun at parties...

My grandpa used to catch them all the time Said they haven't caught any since they put in the weirs at big lake

That looks like a snook! And you caught that where? I've never seen one around here!

Ha Meaux


Was that a snook which is very plentiful in Florida waters?

I was with him. Blew up on a super spook at Tee Butte

Snook
 

Definitely a Snook.

Common from S. Carolina to South America in the Atlantic but they are not common in the Western Gulf. They do show up in small numbers in the fall though.

Never seen Mangroves on the banks of T Butte???

Looks more like a Robalo to me.

It's a hybrid of some sort

Silver Carp are fresh water, that is an albino redfish.

I'm getting a big pretty boat to throw you guys off!

Snook - Robalo
 

[QUOTE=fonikoddity;811044]Looks more like a Robalo to me.


Robalo is the Spanish name for Snook. They were called Robalo in Colombia and Panama where I lived. We caught them both in the Caribbean and in the Pacific. I even caught some in the Panama canal.

WOW! that's a Snook. Common around Florida but not many caught around here.
Where did you catch it? Very good to eat but I'm sure there is a sized limit and that one looked a little small.

That'd Be A SNOOK..... BOB....

In the mouth

So you just look for boats to fish by? This is the problem with fishing these days. No one seems to fish in order to find their own fish anymore. It's ridiculous and a PIA. I went exploring the other day because I got fed up with the boats, I found some hard ground with my side imaging, found some fish and about 30 minutes later, apparently I was fishing on 5 other people's spot... I don't know how since I had just found it and there wasn't a boat in sight when I was driving around looking at my graph... it's idiots out there, inconsiderate and discourteous idiots. Even when you fish the public holes, if you catch a fish 150 yards away from the crowds, you'll see all trolling motors facing you, EVEN IF THEY ARE ALREADY CATCHING!!

I usually watch for people setting the hook like they have moby **** on the other end of the line. However, this boat watching concept is a good idea. I'm going to add it to my list. Just another example of how great this website is at sharing information and new fishing techniques.

I usually have kids with me so I want to put them on fish. When I see people catch fish, I go over the. It's public water and most people don't need all those fish anyways

What makes me mad is when people set the hook and then put their rod tips down to try and look like they aren't hooked up to a fish. The nerve of those people I have kids that want in on that action

It's because they are trying to enjoy a day on the water without worrying about if they don't stay on the trolling motor they will interfere with the guy with kids on the boat and mess them up even though they were there first and found the fish. I'm hoping you are only joking because what you said is ridiculous. I've fished with my dad my whole life and he NEVER went to another boat because they were catching even when we begged him when we were younger. He taught us to fish for ourselves and make notes of what the other boat is doing and try to apply it at other locations.

I seriously doubt you caught a snook in VB

Bulk Microwave popcorn from SAM's. Entertainment at it's finest. VBay Saturday. Ya'll come pass a good time.
