Atlantic fishing VS Gulf fishing discussion
 

OK, this is just a discussion, I am NOT knocking what you East coasters have or dont have. 8)


I have noticed IMHO on various sites and stuff that most east coasters are jelous of the fishery we have in the Gulf. Is this true? Do yall think that we have more qaulity fishing? I noticed what alot of guys think of as a great day on the East coast would be marginal at best for me down here. Yeah the species are different, EX. (we think bluefish are trash and catch very few stripers)but in terms of what is a good day there versus a good day here.

Gimme some opinions!

PS, I wish we did have weakfish here!!!

Re: Atlantic fishing VS Gulf fishing discussion
 

Well I am happy with what I have!!

Stripers, Fluke, Black Sea Bass, Scup, Blue Fish, Black Fish, Cod

I carry a comercial permit also, not so much to make money, but to get around the 6 fluke, 2 stripers, 10 Scup and 10 Cod, ect ect...

The only real complaint I have, and its the same thing I am jelious of you souther guys, Is how short are season is and how long yours is!!

No one makes him wear it Franco ;D

Re: Atlantic fishing VS Gulf fishing discussion
 

Tried one on once, they still laugh at the emergency room!!

Re: Atlantic fishing VS Gulf fishing discussion
 

I wasnt really talking about you Franco, what you catch is very similiar to what I do...You may even have a few more species.

I guess the main thing is the weather, fishing all year is certainly easier here. ;D


The thong is pure pleasure! You should try it sometime. ::)
