Just ditched the old style tackle box with all the little separate dividers which could be a spill disaster and bought the Kastking 3700 trays to slip in an easy to carry backpack. The pack has enough compartments for soft plastics packages, pliers, knife, etc. Keep bottom rigs ready to go in their own separate zip lock bags to prevent tangles.

Are you guys freezing them with the guts?

My father use to take me far offshore Hatteras, NC in a 24’ Aquasport. I would be sick all day long until a friend of his suggested a glass of champagne before boarding. Well, I’m a kid in my twenties without champagne but always with beer. Drank a beer before boarding and occasionally throughout the day and never got sick again. Must be something to do with the alcohol and the equilibrium in the ear.

Nice. That’s worth some money, especially to a collector. Bass Pro display case style.

I put a 24” largemouth bass on a steel snap together stringer and used two clips to ‘secure’ it to the canoe while fishing some more. Back at shore, pulled the stringer up and fish gone. Girlfriend super pissed. Was her fish she wanted to show off.

Cocoa Beach, FL. surf fishing can bring in a lot of catfish. In Virginia, we’d keep some of them from fresh water rivers, lakes, etc. but I see them all thrown back here in Florida. Why’s that the case?

Commonly caught in the surf off Cocoa Beach, FL. Very tasty. Approx. 12”.
