I did not, some else did and if he wants to make the first none report post let him.

FYI:
I do not delete posts and have asked others to not if something needs deleting i need to be forewarned, I like only to move posts to other areas.
Once you start deleting where do you stop
Any post that you see disappear have in most cases been moved out of sight and into threads that I save so in case the person wants to give good reason for there post I can put it back.

No worries, fishing reports will follow, sometimes its cool to post first.

I can let it slide and I hope others are ok with it.

I realized that i just want to give explanation for what was happening in the case that others saw it dissappear.

Moderators are doing a great job sometimes to quick which i am not complaining.

My friend and I went to the keys this weekend for the first time bridge fishing. We started off at 2nd channell and fished untill 1:30am incoming tide (ripping) we then took a ride to long Key did not stop.We heard that thing were slow at 7 mile as well so we ended up at CH 5 untill sun-up. Caught a couple grunts, A few through back mangos and a couple very small blacks. On the way home we hit the first bridge you come to at card sound road and watched a old man with a hand line yank a 15lb gag right next to the boat launch

he was one happy man. I have a question for anyone, we saw a ton of fish hanging around the fender lights at CH5 on the incoming looked like a few larger fish hanging around the shadow line. What were they? Well this was a great learning trip and look forward to going back soon.--------IICHART---------

Stop misleading the guy. You didn't think you could keep the secret Chilean Sea Bass spot hidden forever did you.

Are you talking about the fender lights all the way out at the end of Channel 5 in the boat channel? There are always tarpon, and often snook stacked up there...its a real long cast to reach them though.

Yes there were tarpon there I am sure of that but they were not Tarpon or snook (I wish they were chilean sea bass I have a few good recipes for them) no these fish were the size of a large grunt or sand perch. Might have been mullet but did not look right. As far as Japanese gold fish well it is Florida the land of escaped monkeys and Iguanas and other ferral critters so could be?

Parrotfish, angelfish or spadefish or the highly sought after bermuda chub?

Just seen on the news. Starting Feb 17th, Channels 5 & 2, Toms Harbor, and Indian Key bridges will close for approximately 18 months for shortening the lengths of the bridges, and piling repairs. They will be fenced off and watched by security to prevent the trespassing of vagrants.

Are you serious? Link?

Man I hope that's not true.

Lomax aka ZEBCO · Post by **Lomax aka ZEBCO** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 8:59 am

Would be something if they actually did shut down the bridges. What would all those yoyo poachers do then?

I have seen attempts at yoyo Pomp fishing already.
What a bunch of retardos.

iichart · Post by **iichart** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 2:51 pm

Ok I know a lot of you have problems with people out there fishing and keeping undersized fish and I understand that. But to say that people who use a hand line to fish being retarded is a little much. Just because someone does not go out and spent thousands of dollars on gear does not make them any less a fisherman then anyone else. I thought it was great to see him catch that fish using a yo-yo. Try it some time you might like it.

When I see someone trying to Pompano fish near me with yoyos, and look like retards the way they are going about Pompano fishing with yoyos, then to me, they are retardos fishing yoyos for Pompano.
Now if I say everyone that fishes yoyos are retardos, then your post will make more sense and not seem retardo.

Now just imagine someone fishing a yoyo for shark next to you, swinging a double hooked 20 pound Bonita around in the air in circles before the toss 200 yards out.
