Sign this petition to uphold the net ban they say there are only 3 days left. . Commercial fisherman have plenty of opportunities already to overfish without bringing back gill nets.

I was thinking (hoping, actually!) for a trout or two when I cast it off the pier. I wasn't planning to let it sink very deep...not down into redfish range.

Seems like Red snapper is open in statewater in the Atlantic and will open for ferderal water in the Atlantic as well.

3 miles from shore... wonder where you can catch some that's 20+ :-p

Last post

The sheepshead fishing up there is second to none. You can't forget about the trout and black drum either.

Two weeks will be grouper season so it may be a good thing.
