I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they know a better way to clean trout without them being on ice

I leave my ice in the bag.... throw the fish in there on the ice... then remove the bags of ice for pic... then open the bags and dump on the fish...

In this case I had a good ice slurry going but I shoved too many fish in there
Iced them down better after pic.

Ice is for people who can't catch there limit fast enough and get back to landing and clean em before they die

Anyone going out today? Looks like it will be a mud flat after lunch with 20knot N winds and a hard falling tide

Decided to take advantage of the north winds and hit one of my favorite spots today, and boy did it pay off. I did not see another soul on the beach today. Little Florida or bust get em while they there.

C'mon don't tease Capt Marty. He's just a business man. And apparently a damn good one if companies are throwing product his way.

I've fished with him and he is a great guide. His reports a very informative and descriptive. I like reading them. It's better than just a photo with some dude's s just standing there not even smiling. Pah!

Here is a good suggestion , if you have the time to spend on the water to learn it like I did then just take your time and do that

If you don't have the time and want to get ahead of the curve hire a guide , I suggest you hire a guide that will teach you not just take you fishing

You guys have to remember V bay is a BIG place. I put 60 miles a trip on my boat in the summer running to the pass and outside. You basically have to pick a direction and commit to it. You are not gonna fish the east side of marsh island then run to redfish point to see if anything is there.

After the "conditions check" it is nice to know a bit more detail. I have actually learned a great deal from this site and also met some great people. I don't expect to find coordinates or anything like that, im looking for a pattern of what worked.

A few things i have learned about v bay:
1.Someone, somewhere is catching fish. Somedays its you, somedays its not.
2.Even though you caught em here yesterday doesn't mean they will be there today.

Its disappointing to know that people will do a BS posts but this is the internet after all..

Very true. Follow your gut instinct, It's usually there because the information you've accumulated is pointing you there... Thinking too much will usually end up in you talking yourself out of a spot that your gut is telling you to hit.

The bay is so large it can be overwhelming when it's looked at as a whole, make a game plan and only change if your anticipated conditions change drastically.

I've talked myself out of hitting a spot a few times this year and have been within a half mile of limits that were caught by people I know on here - I left with 2 trout... My exact thought was if they aren't on right here there is no way they are biting any different over there, but my gut told to go try...

As much as I agree with Marque about how frustrating it is that any decent "report" thread will get about 2,000 views and almost not comments (that's one of my biggest frustrations too), you just hit the nail on the head about the BS posts. There's a few of the guys on this site that I see out there fishing. If they fish outside of the pass, they'll post a report showing what they caught at Weeks Bay. If they fish at Weeks, they'll post a report about the west side of the bay. And they'll even lie about the bait and the depth. Even though I can't stand the potlickers who are just on here for free info without anything to contribute, the BS posts are even worse. I hate that I have to be a weekend warrior, but with a demanding job and kids at home, there's only a little time for fishing. I'd like to know that my fellow fishermen are not trying to send me on a wild goose chase, and then I'll get on after the trip and pay it forward to the next guy with an informative post. There's plenty of fish out there.

What did people do before internet and fishing forms ? Just asking ?

I know I just went fishing and never read a report in my life until LSM back in 2007 I think

We just woke up and went fishing , sometimes we found fish and sometimes we didn't but we learned .


Fishing is not about always catching. , it's about getting on the water and enjoying the outdoors ! I use to take fishing way way way to serious but now that I guide I see more value in it than just catching

I would say 80% of the people I fish are happy just getting in the water and catching fish is 2 nd . Spending time with family or friends


I share info between other guides and friends because sometimes my buddy who fishes twice a month will go out and stroke em .. And they will tell me because I have told them in the passed

I see a lot if guys who fish with each other and share info with each other which always keeps them on fish .

You can't blame people for not putting where they caught fish and what they caught on, because the next day there will be 50 boats there because they read it online. As long as the report includes the actual body of water of where they fished is good enough for me. I should be able to locate the fish once I'm on the water.

Yep. Don't fish ghost. Or ghost reef for that matter.

Always follow your gut.

True dat J. again the bay is a big place. North end, West end Marsh Island, Pass are all general descriptions of a big place. I don't see the harm in posting general info. Chances are the fish will be long gone by the time the potlickers get there anyway.
