I am moving near the ocean soon, and will need to learn to catch fish that are > 6 inches. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What ocean? It's all different

Near Tampa, tho I expect trips across to the Orlando side to go lionfish hunting are going to be a thing.

I guess thats not the ocean I'll be near... Gulf of Mexico, regular trips to the Atlantic :v:

All fishing rules, it is like the only thing that I care about anymore. It is all consuming to me.

The best part aobut fishing isn't even the fish. It's just sitting there, relaxing, drinking a beer. As far as I'm concerned, actually trying to catch something is wholly optional.

There is a kick rear end fishing barge within a mile or so of me, and I would always be there if it were not for one thing. The state banned alcohol on the lake a couple years ago, so no drinking and fishing :(

That is loving unAmerican

It's bizarre because this is Texas. You can buy road beers from drive up windows in some places, but the state banned drinking just because the lake had earned the nickname Lake Death.

Who wouldn't want to go out onto Lake Death with a sixer of Lone Star, bake in the sun and fish?

I think you all should secede from your state.

Moving to Florida will be an upgrade. Sit on the beach, drink rum drinks, and fish.

You've heard about Florida, right?

Like that it's a meth-infested shithole?

Not as many crazy rednecks as TX, and from people who live there I understand that you stay out of northern FL, and stay away from Miami, and its pretty chill.

My fiancee is insisting on it since she has elderly family there, so I gotta find silver linings until they die. :negative:

Fishing is for the patient or at least for those who can occupy their time right. Kinda like watching a baseball game, it's more fun with other people than alone.

As long as those other people don't scare the fish away.

Screw that. You go to Miami and catch peacock bass in the canal in your back yard.

I used to live in Fort Lauderdale and Broward county is absolutely full of canals and little ponds. Tons of fish to catch. Plus the Everglades are nearby if you are feeling adventurous.

I'll be living gulf side, but I plan on making lionfish hunting in the atlantic a thing, if nothing else.

You know, the once til I get stung to death.

Traveled across the country earlier this month to my dad's house, got in some fishing but no crabbing.



Edit:
This was a year ago, I was very excited to be fishing.


Ah yes, that much misunderstood alternative to drunk fishing, tweaked fishing.

Also, what did you catch there?

Around here throwing guts in the lake would probably be frowned upon but I can't see it bringing down the wrath of the DNR or anything. But like someone else said, bury them where you're growing things.

The fishing barge near me has a cleaning station that just sluices the guts into the lake. It attracts more fish. :shrug:

Apparently there are smallmouth and largemouth bass, also perch.
