I have fished southeast Florida waters for over 50 years. I rarely go out more than 10 miles for dolphin. When they are around you will usually find them closer in. Look for rips and eddys ,color changes,birds,boards,weed lines. Anything out of the ordinary.
Blackfin tuna are in closer. Try wrecks and reefs in the 120 to 200 foot depths.

There are no 120-200 ft depths on the gulf side that I know of 10 miles out. Where are you fishing?

Do they spray the ponds or the grass near the ponds? Because if not I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be safe to eat.
It's often said that you shouldn't eat tilapia in general because they will eat odd things like bird poop that fall into the water, but then again so will most panfish species so I don't see the big deal.

They should be ok to eat unless they are dumping chemicals or raw sewage into the pond. How many lakes, ponds or channels now days don’t have a few chemicals going into them? Tilapia are vegetarians and don’t eat poop unless they are really hungry. Fillet down past the rib cage and cut the back fillet off. StaY away from the guts. Very messy. Good eating.

Gotta be askin about the east coast or the keys. He ain’t going to get tuna or dolphin 10 miles out on the gulf. Wish we would though.

Better get them all picked before the storm hits. You’ll have salsa right out in The garden.

Depends what sort of water you're fishing...
For shallower waters I like blue fox a lot, and panther martins would be a close second.
For deeper water, you need a heavier (not necessarily bigger) spinner. Most off the shelf lures aren't heavy enough to fish deep very well. First Strike Lures makes awesome salmon and steelhead spinners, but they do custom stuff as well if you need smaller ones (like trout spinners).

I have had very good luck with the vibrax blue fox spinners. The panther martins are pretty good and usually the rooster tails work well. Don’t waste your money on cheap spinners. Just not worth it.

and your point is?
Point is it looks like your indigenous Sacramento perch and the warmouth we catch in Wi are pretty much the same fish.

This sir, is a Sacramento Perch. It is indigenous throughout California. Apologies go well with pictures, do they not?
Looks pretty much like what we call a warmouth.

Probably not even a venomous snake. There are so many more non venomous snakes. Most people just assume every snake they encounter is venomous and want to kill it. They all do a great job of keeping the rodent population down and I do not like rats. Here in Florida the banded water snake is mistaken all the time for a cottonmouth and
Killed. Sad. Leave snakes alone and they will leave you alone.
The three things most people are afraid of, snakes, bats and spiders are all really good critters.

That snake is a corn snake. One of the prettiest and gentlest of snakes. Sometime known as red rat snake. You can tell a venomous snake by the shape of the head and the eyes. In the case of the coral snake it’s the color pattern.

You guys are making me feel very old. I still catch snakes here in Florida and do a lot of fishing.
