  • Really great questions!

    I’m on the east coast (Jax) and most of your fishing reports don’t do much for me. BUT you ask really good questions of your guests and tease out some really good general fishing information. Thanks!! Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Boat Electronics, Creek Trout, Bay Redfish, Offshore Grouper, and the Destin Boat Show
Q: What windspeeds trigger staying in the bay versus tucking and hiding in creeks or going offshore?
Sustained wind under 10 knots usually allows Gulf access; 10-20 knots tends to keep trips in the bay; sustained 20+ knots generally prompt staying tucked in creeks or hiding in bays.
Bigger Triggerfish, Early Pompano, and Spring Trout on the Emerald Coast
Q: What size leader are you using with those Clark Spoons or are you going to a light wire?
They use 30-pound mono from the swivel to the Clark Spoon, with a setup that allows easy knot tying and quick swap between inshore and offshore setups.
Winter Grind to Spring Prep: Surf Gear, Boat Show Season, and Bay Trout
Q: What are three baits you recommend for spring fishing?
Sand fleas, blue crab, and fresh dead shrimp are essential baits for spring.
