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.

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

fun tips for fishing trashplie, cove, hammock.....
1. tie line onto cement block and throw it overboard.
2. drop anchor and throw out a loaf of bread or a big bag of Cheetos.
3. when potlickers start to showup, fight that cement block like u got Godzilla on the line.

4. once u get 10 or 15 boats tring to cast in your boat. put pole down, laugh at them, drink a beer.
5. repeat

[Waterbug]

That was defiantly a snook It probably came this way from Florida from the last hurricane


And yes I've only got on the specks once in VB and what people are saying is true. They will come right up to you if you start catching. My dad would go nuts if he saw that on the water
Because of this i would rather drive an extra hour and a half to the PAC and satay away from the crowds and idiots

At the Cove or Trash pile. I'm sooooo sorry, but I've tried hiding the fact that I have a Spec on the line. Especially with all the cursers etc. constantly looking for someone on FISH !! Dat's not fishing.

Dad worked offshore and only got to see him every now and again. When he took us fishing he wanted us to catch. We do what we have to do to eat fish
