Well I dont do much saltwater fishin or bass fishin, but I had a little luck with some rattletraps as far as that goes.
I usually do more catfishin than anything, pretty hot right now even for them but like the guy in the video said, if you get up early enough when the water’s still cool, the cats’ll still tear up some chicken livers lol caught 7 speckled cats in about 3 hours just yesterday lol

Only thing that can …
Only thing that can save us is a total collapse of the economy and they all lose their boats and homes and head back up north. But, I see now that NYC is giving people one way plane tickets out of the state. God help us.

No.. there are two …
No.. there are two *tubes* which run down either side of the tail, which if you excise it, can be cut into nice 1″ cutlet’s and grilled two flips.. scrumptious.

How is the meat though? I mean, do you have to flavor it up yourself quite a bit or no?

Yup and it’s gettin’ worse too. Some numb-nut ran right over my buddies line as he was hooked up to somethin’ (never found out) and after he realized what he did he got up on plane and high tailed it outta there. About a month ago I saw some guy fillin’ his boat with a 6 gallon can and the nozzle came out and he didn’t notice, made a slick about 10 foot long. Some of the canals are lookin’ worse than usual these days too. Sad to see. Filthy yankees.

Wind has been …
Wind has been blowing west for 5 weeks causing nasty cold water upwellings. Lots of pinheads out there who are rude and don’t have a clue what they are doing. Divers spearing around where you anchor up no regard for anybody. Most are from New York or New Jersey. Wind has just changed to SE. Lake is open dumping garbage into the St. Lucie and Jupiter Inlets. Caught some nice 30lb kings and and two sails last weekend. A friend caught some nice wahoo of Jupiter Inlet and some blackfins.

They really are …
They really are some of the more “Gestapo-esk” of all law enforcement. I’ve had numerous (more like hundreds haha) encounters with them but mostly out on the water and you’re absolutely right, they DO NOT mess around.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Yeah they got my …
Yeah they got my brother. He was a few miles above one of their imagenary lines they have drown. He does a lot of skins though – has made some good money from white tail skins in the past. Does take some time though, you’re right. Gotta be careful with the game warden thugs and other police state jack a@@ess out there to steal your money. Anyhow, I’ll get off my high horse now. lol Best of luck to you man.

Google it, there …
Google it, there are a mess of rules you have to follow no matter which state you look. If they catch you breaking some of the bigger rules they take you to jail; none of that “here’s your fine” stuff they just take you right to jail and then fine you later haha.

Dependin’ on the …
Dependin’ on the condition of the skin, what country you’re willing to send it to and to who, you can get anywhere from $25 to $65 a foot. I always give mine to a friend after I take the meat and he gives me some beer for it and that’s it. Why you ask? Cuz it’s a big pain in the butt doin’ a hide…..I mean it takes a good 4 to 10 hours to do just ONE depending on the size of the beast the skin came off of. So yeah, I always just pretty much give my hides away…….not the meat though, heck no!
