You can turn that feature off, after you get tired of the lies...

fish know how good of a fisherman that I am, so generally they leave the area that Im in once they know Ive arrived, ususlly takes about 10 minutes after I drop a couple $100 at the tackle shop, then all the fish migrate to the next state

I seem to do a good job running them off hitting all them rocks on the way in up there. Have we mentioned its rocky up there?

Add to that some strong winter lows and well, you can wade just about anywhere you need to go... Last X-mas was 75 degrees here in Lakeland. So you better pack for cold and mild weather.

Its getting that time. Got a house on the river rented for the holidays. We've got a half day charter for grouper booked. I've got the trailer loaded up with four kayaks. As a family, were going to paddle the rivers around the rental house to do some manatee watching. At some point, I plan to sneak away in one of the kayaks to do some fishing. Where do I need to put in? Is there anything to fish for in the springs area or do I need to get out in the salt? I've read the manatee restrictions, anything else I need to know about?

I'm not super familiar with the area as I've been going out 45 minutes south of there, but I know the hurricane did some damage up that way and has some ramps closed down. We've had a mild winter so far, and the reports still have most of the fushing out on the deeper grass flats. There has been some reports of snapper starti g up into the river mouths.

7 inch red & white rapala with the metal bill has been the hot lure this year

Good luck
