    So, Trump & DeSantis have delivered ARS season for FL, GA, SC, NC. The diff states have diff seasons, we get 39 total days.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the electronic app that will allow us to register our trips and harvests. Yes - if you wanna go you gotta log in and use an app or computer based program to register the trip and then register your harvest (1 ARS).

    Once they release it, then I will figure out how to get my dad signed up as an old guy without tech savvy.

    Anyway - something to talk about.

    We are waiting for the electronic side of things right now.

    Yup - what a load of crap.

    Lawsuit brought forth by your favorite commercial fishing entity.

    Thanks, Sam!

    Pure politics but on the good side I guess. Idiot, rogue judge, no training, blah, blah... LoL!

    It was a repetitive interview. The video, the newsperson not knowing the story (if the judge stopped - he said that at least 3 times), and the poor congress guy having to repeat hisself 4 diff ways.

    If i was the feds and trying to stop this, I'd have a 2 day ARS season using fed policy and announce it soon. That might remove the EFP from this calendar year.

    Whoever would have thought that ARS fishing would be a political thing...

    Yup Oregon wants to ban hunting. Some folks were saying as far down as making it illegal to kill rats in your house.

    This mentions fishing but no-one is talking about that.

    I did see a line on the fish finder that might have been a thermocline. Cold water pushed the fish in...

    Red snapper usually suspend up a few feet as the screen displays. I was just letting you know that you may want to try a few close reefs. Look at the map for them.
