Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Tampa Bay, ninety five three WDA and AM
six twenty talking fishing. Going to be here until nine o'clock.
Got the whole band together here this morning. Breezy, breezy,
breezy week.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Huh well, uh, ten miles an hour out of the
north this morning, but by noon or one o'clock up
to twenty three. Yeah, Saint Pete, so straight out of
the north. Supposed to calm down tomorrow. I calm down
this evening and then decent tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I saw ten. I saw ten for tomorrow, which would
be a nice break because I had twenty boats running
out of fins yesterday and uh I wasn't they did.
The bite was good, but the U I knew when
I stepped out of my garage to head that way,
I knew I was not going to be very popular
amongst the charter captains on my on my team.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Especially when your boat what in the yeah right.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
A couple of guys coming from O'Neill's said they were
just straight up taking them over the tower.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
It was pretty rough, so must not own trailers to
trailer around?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well, that would have been that would have been the
smart thing to do, and a lot of guys did that.
A lot of guys put in at Williams Park and
Simmons Park and stuff like that, because the bait's really
really thick up on that end of the bay. It's
really thick everywhere. But uh, you know, what are you
gonna do? The good news is we have a big
event tomorrow for HCC, and uh the weather looks better.

(01:28):
It should be nice.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
It should be really nice in the morning. Yeah, I
am fishing. I may actually fish to win. That might
be my last one, so I normally don't because I'm
on the committee. So I just kind of where's.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
That out of bay? Well, you'll probably have to get
a hotel or something. That's a long drive. It's a
long drive from ODSK.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm taking an RP.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
It's gonna park the P. I like that. That's a
good idea, Actually, I like that. Yeah, So it's uh
it sure. It looks like what I saw this morning anyway,
that the winds are going to be about that for
most of the week. Looks like it's supposed to blow
about ten, which is a big reprieve from what we've had,
and then Friday it picks up against almost twenty. I
didn't see what direction all week? If today?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, for sure, pointed straight down even in the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yea, it was north yesterday Friday at five five thirty
and I asked, Doug, do you what do you plan
on doing? Why? May go fishing tonight? He's been doing
well night fishing on that full moon bite.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
And I looked across the street at the palm trees
and he looked at his wind finder or whatever it was,
and he said, oh, it's saying it's nine mile an
hour and I'm looking at the tree going I don't
know about that.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know, this particular moon has been brighter, longer at night,
just something.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
I know.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
It was a big moon, wasn't it. Don't we have?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, but I mean just oncoming and after, just like
you don't need a flashlight outside big.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
You can tell he's been up in the woods on
this full moon.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Was up in the woods, but you know, mostly up
in Georgia. It looked like if you've ever been up
you've been way up north and you used to live
up north. It looked like winter where you're not going
to see the sun.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
And then it rained that yesterday we had it rain.
It rained on us too, So that's good and we
needed it, so we took the rains.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Were you up there for the early dough hunt or
just happened to be up.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
There filling feeders and looking at cameras.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
We're we're less than a week out right.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, the eighteenth, Well, you know last week they opened
and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and I got there on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I heard shots, I heard some harvesting of something going on.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Somebody has their infant with them. And youth season. That's
always cracks me up. You see the two year old
holding the big deer. Yeah, we got this during youth season.
You know the deal. That's Wisconsin for you.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Sure right.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I talked to Bruce. Four adults and they're fighting over
the one kid.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I don't think we have a youth season, but that's
pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, y'all do up in the Midwest too. They up
there where I go with Mitch, they have you know,
they have modern gun. It's very short. It's it's like
nine days Saturday, Saturday to Sunday. But then they have
alternate weapon and then Junior Hunter Week. Every week is
a different thing.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I've been gone a long time and I haven't hunted
Wisconsin in many, many years since.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
That junior stuff, like your pro staff, do you check age?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Is that you kind of have to check.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh, that's a new lady, that foundation lady, her sons
of you know, real animals.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Junior pro staff, pro staff. Yeah, it's a big deal.
They catch fish.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I looked at some of them.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, they do. Kids well, yeah, they do really well.
The kid that wanted Carter Forner, the kid that want
the biggest scholarship, the five thousand dollars scholarship this year
from Cca and Yamaha. He's a stud. I mean every
time I'll splash the boat on a river on Friday night,
we're just gonna go out run the skiff, and you'll
go by the dock at Tiki Docks and he's on

(05:15):
the dock either catching bait or catching fish. I'm like,
it's all he does. Every time I turn around, he's
just those they're just fishy kids. Super cool. Cool to
see him that much in love with the sport, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, well, I think if you get him like that too,
they're putting in the time. I think back. You know,
everybody knows our history. Rick Gross and I caught a
lot of fish call out of snoke. But like we
fished all night from the all night we were there
and watched the sun go down the sun come up
without a nap. I was a lot younger.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I'm sitting here watching younger all night.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
But that was the thing. I mean, you fish, if
you fish hard twelve hours, yeah, for sure, you probably you.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Know in your time, man. I believe that with anything,
dear hunt in the same way, you sit in the
stand all day, you're going to see more than you
will going in and out. Same way with fishing. It's
the hours. Oh and I tell people all the time,
A lot of the big fish we catch offshore or
whatever late in the day, you know, it seems like

(06:16):
that big one always waits. Or maybe my buddies are
the ones that lose them. But I do more fishing
at the end of the day. Most of your people,
like I would say, like Ben, are probably going to
be out of gas halfway through the day, you know
what I mean, laying down on a beam bag and
you throw the twenty pounder on him. You know, so

(06:36):
my dad used to do today.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah right, yeah, wonders why he wonders why we don't
invite him.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, somebody asked me one time, what about you fish
with Mike all the time. I said, I don't fisher Mike.
He's not my friend official with my friends. He's my
business partner. He's a great business partner, the best I've
ever had. Promise you, but fishing with him, now, what
is he? Don't kept keep fish?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh we were talking about we got invited to deer
camps and we know we're friends. Could be worse, but.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
You never show up.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
You always know that when we showed up, Lord have mercy.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
We had all that.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
We had a yukon. We stopped at all the coolers
we went.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
That was Redneck X game.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Talking about Alabama, we had barbecue and Tuscaloosa had asked
which which one to go to?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
And uh, yeah, we scared that we ben and I
walked in that all you can eat barbecue joining them.
People freaked out their money.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
They were like, we're closed, and then we were. We
told them at the grocery store, we're supposed to buy
food for one night, and it was like one hundred
and twenty seven dollars of meat.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah that's funny. Yeah, that was a good.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's where I had the coyote, and coyote followed me
out of the woods there from what you call.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Swell like barbecue. You got sALS all over you probably, Yeah,
you talked about that. I didn't follow you.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
You talked about the late bite. These these moons that
light up the sky all night. The bite is late, sure,
bites like afternoon because they're eating all night.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well the deer, the deer walk late too.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
You know, they use to watch those feed times and
hunt those feed times. I guarantee you'll.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
See more fish, and fishing is the same way.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I mean the great late great advance tice swore by
them up and down. Yeah, you know, followed it religiously
and paid off. That's why he was one of the
best to do it. So. Our weather update brought to
you by our good friends at Reese Windows and Doors,

Speaker 2 (08:54):
You know, we haven't been back together since the Richard
Seward Memorial. CCA turn them and it was a sellout
and quite the event.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
They do such a good job, man, they really do good.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Well, it's a sellout. And there was some hints about
maybe changing the location to more center place.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
We could well, is there some place we could get
more people in.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, that's the thing. They don't want to sell it
out anymore. They want to They want to expand. So
you want to make you don't want to turn chapter.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Let's do it out of Tampa somewhere.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, there were there's you know, Morgan, it was like,
what's your opinion. I was like, I think we can
get more people if we didn't have to drive down
to and think it's a wonderful venue. It's just not
convenient to get to it it is.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I mean, if you're trying to pull like Mike just said,
if you're trying to pull the Hillsborough County chapter. Pulling
them over to panels can be a little challenging.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's the same thing with the with the other tournament,
the one that we're having tomorrow, there was other venues
and they're going, well, wait a minute, we're trying to
keep it in the county. So yeah, I don't know
where that's going to be, but it's it's something to think.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
That they're working on it, that's for sure. I've talked
to him about the same thing, and it's a great event.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
It seems like. But you know, he's got it seems
like we're getting a little bit of a changing in
the guard to at CCA.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
You know, yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
We've talked for years, Ben and I've talked to years
for years.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
It's been the same anchors. Yeah, I mean Richard, Richard
was part of that Stembridge Bridgeman.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, I mean, you know, that whole that whole group,
their wives, very supportive. Yeah, just Don, Don Roberts, just
people doing a great, great job, tons of effort, tons
of time. But we had talked about, you know, hey,
we're gonna we're going to need an influx of new energy.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
And Morgan's part of that I want to be part
of that also.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Sure, Morgan Lynch has done a great job and there's
just a lot of good people. He was a great
president over there, really help.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
That's though. I mean, you can't have two different daughters
win a Category two because he's rigging that deal.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
So I got yelled at because the last time we
talked about this, they said they got their fishing ability
from their.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Mom, and yeah, I met her right.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I sat it was good. The one daughter last year
want it, and then the other daughter got it this year.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
So cool.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
It's pretty cool just to sit there and watch them.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, smile.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
They're probably nothing cooler because you're bringing them into the folds.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah. Well, that's what it's all about. You know. We
just talked about that with the real animals Junior pro staff.
I mean, that's that's what it's all about. The future
of the sport. We've been talking about here since we
started doing these shows twenty two, twenty three years ago,
whatever it is now. So you know, without that influx
of youth and love and passion for the sport, you know,

(11:50):
it'll go away. So it's it's good to see that
it's live. You know, it's good when you when you
go into a place like Gator Jim's Fishing Tackle. You
know you're going to Gandy and Tackle. You go into
Dogfish wherever it is here in the Bay Area. You
you go in there and you talk to them right now,
and they're selling tackle. Economy is not crazy good. The

(12:10):
tackle stores are doing well, Banner.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, it's really it's really really good. They're killing so great.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
He kills.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Such a generous guy when it comes to that's supporting
those causes, not unlike the guy that's not your friend. Yeah,
just your business a cooaint of business, a quaint.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
But I mean that's I mean, that's that's that's just
good to hear that people are fishing and spending well.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well, support the industry, I mean, support your own industry. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Hey guys, good morning. Hey, it's great to see all
three together. Mike, Mahoney, I saw the deer you got
that's very cool.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yeah, you know, Donald, I just get excited about that
stuff right before I'm going up for the season. That
that was something that was a you know, probably about
a year or two ago. Just getting sitting at home
feeling the little coolness knowing it's here, get you excited.
I get through them pictures quite a bit, hopefully, you know.

(15:38):
I don't killing a big one. I love doing it,
but I also love just sitting in the woods.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Liking to see us the three of us together in studio.
If that's really what you're into, you should enjoy today's
show because as we as we get into deer season,
it may not happen all that much here for the
next couple of months.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
That's like me, you know, went out the kayak, you know,
just seeing all the surroundings by me, you know, you know,
all the fish swimming, the osprey diving, you know, catching
my fish or you know, the stupid cormorants. You know,
I'd like to have a cormorant season.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, I just got back from you talk about watching
the watching the woods wake up, because I get up
six pretty early, and by six point thirty it's just
so quiet. You hear a pin drop and my wife
came out have a cup coff in the back porch.
As soon as soon as through the trees you can
see a hint of light. The birds wake up. And

(16:38):
the same thing when you're hunting in the woods. It's
fun to watch the woods wake up. I agree, because
like you can hear every noise walking into the stand,
every leaf if they're not wet, and you're trying to
be quiet and getting your back back and load your
rifle whatever, and then you sit there and there's nothing
until the first bird goes, Hey, anybody awake? It's the

(16:59):
birds for Yeah, it's special. There's no doubt about just
the outdoors just I mean, that's what all of us. Yeah,
it's what all of us have in common, is that
love of the outdoors and just nature. And I'll never forget.
I had Guy Harvey on the boat and we were
catching redfish, absolutely crushing them one after another, one of

(17:20):
the biggest schools I've ever seen on Tampa Bay. And
right in the middle of hooking, another pilched on Guy
Harvey's hook. A flock or you know, three or four
pelicans flew across Tarpankey and he literally stopped, just immediately
stopped and when look at that, How cool is that?

(17:41):
And it made me just kind of realize, like, you know,
the way he paid attention to the surroundings, absorbing all
of it exactly. It was just really a neat moment
where even I as a charter cap and have to
you know, I'm out there every day, so you have
to stop and realize that what you're seeing and what
you're getting to do every day is pretty special. Cruising
to get Baite a lot of times in the channel
by the Skyway and the Meisner and all of a sudden,

(18:03):
those birds wake up and you got the you know,
the all the different seagulls and different birds waking up
as the sun's just cracking up over Tampa Bay. You
kind of go, hey, this this is nice.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, this isn't a bad way to start your day,
no doubt about it, until you throw the net.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
And a few years ago I was able to go
up to Wisconsin what they call the North part. It
was Maiden Lake. My brother in law in laws had
a place right on the lake, and I got up
like five in the morning, got the coffee and went
out there to the fire pit, started a fire and

(18:42):
you could see, you know, the sun started to come
up with just a little bit of smoke coming right
off the lake the woodpeckers. I got some great pictures
of the woodpecker and I had taken out a little
rowboats with a little nine horsepower motor on it, and
you can see the tree lines when the deer came up,

(19:03):
you know, when the lake freeze is over, you can
see where the deer had come out and eating the
all the leaves and everything from the trees and stuff.
And it's just so cool, you know, catching some nice
guest there and uh, just the way everything like like that.
Ben was just saying waking up, Yeah, and it's just
the cool thing to be out there, especially in a

(19:24):
fresh water lake like that.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Because yes, special place, Yes, special place, special time of
the day.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, I'm sure the brother in law was happy. Got
the guest waking up at five am, rattling around the
kitchen banging and thanks a lot.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, Donald, we appreciate good good call, buddy.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Thanks Donald.

Speaker 6 (19:48):
Hey, Hey, absolutely hey, Next Saturday, I got my outing
at Sutherland Bayou're going to launch at seven and then
we got the barbecue at pop standils. I'm going to
do because they got bathroom and pavilions stopped going at
one till three.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Okay, wants to stop them? Love it? Love it?

Speaker 6 (20:09):
Yep, you guys. Take care of steces type mines and
great show is always great.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Have a great week.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
By the way, I've seen it twice now with my wife.
Years ago, we were headed Alabama on the back roads
and we discovered, uh, Georgia and Alabama's the largest yard
cl day. And it's when I was up there a
couple of weeks ago, they said, you know, first week
of October is when they harvest the peanuts. So on

(20:36):
this trip home on Saturday, it was peanut harvest yard
cell day and it's the whole state and we go
to the back we take back roads to Interstate down
through Cordell, uh River Road down by the lake and
all that stuff, and everybody has their they wait, I
guess I don't. I don't know if it's a law

(20:57):
you can't have your groag sale or yard sail until
peanut harvest day. But there that's what everybody was doing
Saturday was going to the yard sales all through the country,
yard sales, cars stacked on the side of the road.
And and then, bless your heart, if you pass the church.
You know, the church will say, bring all your stuff here, but.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Just a sight to see.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Do you imagine taking my homey yard, y yard?

Speaker 3 (21:27):
No, he didn't even go out in public with me.
What do you mean that's true?

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Certainly not on a boat.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Quick, how close the garage he's turning around.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
He stopped, he got out of the truck.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
But you know mahoney would be pushing people out of
his way with his truck, looking out his window at
the tables. Excuse me, excuse me, out of the way yet.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Deer hood from the truck, shop from the truck. It's
all good.

so try to get there early.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
It's a great speaker. Well, I wouldn't want to miss.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
No, it should be a good one for sure. Let's
go to the phones here. Phone lines are open one
eighty eight five four six four six twenty. Let's go
to Captain Mike Perry down a beautiful big pine key. Michael,
how are you good.

Speaker 7 (26:34):
Morning, fellows? Great to hear y'all together.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
The whole band is together.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
And yeah, I know you guys will be missing some
time over the next two or so months here and there.
It'll be mixing match.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Could happen, mat, Yeah, it could happen.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
I was listening right, I was listening to you guys
about about when you're up early in the morning. I
love getting up early in the morning and walking down
to the marina. But there's one time right here in
Big Pine that's really neat. It's at night time, when
that sun's completely down. If you walk out to the
bridge that goes over the No Name key, it's pitch black.

(27:11):
We don't have lights on that bridge. There's no lights
on approaching the bridge for me, so it's pitch black.
And all of a sudden, right down the middle of
the road, you start to hear the clicking of hooks
and that's when the deer moved from like Big Pine
over No Name and vice versa, and you can hear
them coming. And it's really neat. When I take people

(27:34):
out there who've never been and they hear that, and
they're like, what's that. I said, don't stand in the
middle of the road. You'll get run You'll get run over.
And I think the deer the deer are weary. They
want to make sure Mahony's not standing on the bridge.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
I've actually fed those deer before. I guess I was
under disguise when I did. But yeah, it's pretty neat
to see them. You know, as a deer hunter, everybody
thinks when your deer hunter, kill, kill, kill, But that's
like the furthest thing from you know, everybody wants that
big buck. But just to be able to see the
different deer, and you know, I'm less likely to shoot

(28:12):
something at camp like I enjoy seeing deer when I
wake up in the morning, like y'all are talking about. No,
it's a big one. It don't matter where he's at.
He could be on your front yard. I may take him,
but I won't let the house be in the background.
I'll get safety. Safety first, Safety first.

Speaker 9 (28:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I walked the porch and about about quarter till seven,
was walking out in my truck. It's not quite bright daylight,
just dawn, and caught something out of the corner of
my eye and there's a doe standing right in the
backyard and we just I just frozen.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
We just I can't imagine what went through that day's
mind sitting in the dark and here comes Sasquat because
you know him. It was a thing now saying he's
being quiet, there's no way to be walking on a
porch and you're three and fifty pounds nine foot tall.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
That's true.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Well anyway, the yeah, the keys come alive, and especially
where I'm at the lower keys, it's still a lot
of untouched keys. So the fishing has been great. At
sailfish time we're starting. The humidity is down here at
seventy one seventy two right now, at this time, the
humidity is down. This is the time to come down

(29:30):
if you want.

Speaker 8 (29:30):
To go after a sailfish.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
All our sailfish tournaments, like I was talking yesterday, are
scheduled this time of the year, in the March for
a reason, and we're catching them up. We got when
I can get out. This wind has been brutal. We've
got a trip in a little while today. We're going
to go on the gulf side and get protected from
some of this wind. But it's definitely sailfish time. The

(29:57):
snapper fishing continues to be wonderful. And again, like I
said yesterday, if you don't have the wherewithal to hire
a charter, or have a boat. That's okay because the
big snapper around all the bridges. Standing there yesterday watching
some people fish right as the sun was going down,

(30:17):
and a couple guys had their rods out. A couple
of them went off and one guy had about, i'd
say about an eight to nine pound mutton, and then
one came over was a twelve pounder, and right from
the bridge on cutballey, who fresh cut balley, hoo plug,
cut the head off, cut the tail off. Hook them

(30:37):
just like you would if you were snapper fishing for anything.
Buried that hook and hide it because the snapper seemed
to be a bit more weary, line shy and hook shy.
But you can get them from the bridge. Plenty of
mangoes and yellow tails and just good overall fish and
a lot of permit mic over the wrecks and the

(30:58):
gulfs right now down here, I'm hoping I definitely have
crabs going on the boat today.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
So yeah, you know something else. If you go down
to that last bridge before you get into Key West,
Mike at night, like you're talking about, and you hear
the clickety clack, it's the high heels from the confused
people walking back from Key West. I just thought i'd
let you know that, and you better stay on the
side because they will run you over.

Speaker 7 (31:28):
Well well, and it's funny you say that because you
know what's coming up here. Shortly I'll oh, yeah, I'll
actually be joining you guys at occ because the house
gets rented out and I get out of town like
the guy who just stole a million dollars for fantasy.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
So yeah, I don't blame you.

Speaker 7 (31:46):
There a lot of clickety claque coming up for about
a week and a half in the Key West and
the Lower Key to make that.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Money down there.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
See, I'm still stuck on a twelve pound mutton fishing
for the bridge. I mean, if you bring that thing
up over the side, don't you just pack it up
and go it's time to invite friends. Yeah, I mean
twelve pound months, no doubt.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
A lot of people don't know about that bridge because
it's it's off the beaten path, but it's They do
a bridge rank fishing every year, like a rank of
the top ten bridges, and it's Spanish Harbor Bridge is
what it's called. I call it no name Key Bridge.
It is always in the top five of ten for

(32:31):
just pure species you catch. You can catch everything. I've
seen thirty species of fish caught from that bridge, at
least thirty, from the big boy tarpin and goliath to
sharks to barracuda, all the way to the good eating stuff,
all the snappers, groupers. And I can't explain it because

(32:53):
there's really only two big cuts that go underneath it.
But when that tide is incoming or outgoing, when it stopped.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
It slows down a little bit. But if you get their.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
Incoming or out going, you fish the opposite side, throw
your bait up underneath the bridge and just let it
drift on out with it, and you'll you think you're
on a boat fishing all the fish you catch.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
There no great place.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, the bridges are special. Good report, brother, Uh tell
everybody how they tell everybody how they can get a
hold of.

Speaker 7 (33:22):
You eight one three four three four eight zero eight

are open here one eighty eight five four six four
six twenty. It's weird because everything ramps up in the Keys.

(36:21):
As Capt. Mike Perry, last caller there was just telling
us everything ramps up in the Keys, But so does
that wind. You know this time of year that that's
the only trick to catch in your your world right
down in the Keys. I mean, it's the place to
be in my opinion, this time of year. As we
get into you know, especially January and February, it gets
really really good in the Keys. Everything seems to congregate

(36:43):
right down there. It can get really nasty with them
fronts down there. Yeah, it's kind of depressing. I mean, good,
I wish them good luck and it can't happen. But
I don't know how many times I've been down there
and get up in the morning and tell my group
whoever's on the boat with me, no family, friends, whatever. Side.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, he said he's taking his charted goal. So I
mean I can just see standing there on the lot going, oh,
golf side. Yeah, although no, it can happen. But it's
not like I've.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Had some pretty magical trips on the If you get
with the right if you get with the right guy,
My guy down there in Key West, Alex Kenaljo bro he.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Well, he West goal side is different than Almarado. Well,
that's true side, you know what I mean, you're a
little closer to the action. But I mean, if you're
going down there for salefish, not golf.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Side, no, no, for sure. Yeah, I get you. I
get you. I was you know, when I go down there,
I just kind of stay open minded and and that's
one of the things. Don't get predetermined on what you're
going to catch. If you're going, especially if you're going
to go with a captain, let them points you in
the right direction. You know. The first time I called
Alex down there, Alex is like, well, what do you
want to do. I'm like, I don't know, I want
to do what you want to do. I mean, what's cool?

(37:52):
What's cool? This time we get I'm like, can we
catch a perman? He goes, oh, you want to catch permit.
We can catch permit. I mean we absolutely to the permit.
One place is covered in. Some of the best permit
fishing in the whole state is down there on the
keys on both sides.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Windy trips down there because there's always stuff, dudes, just
like he talks about the bridges. And I talked to
somebody down there that I knew, and I said, oh,
took I took lise in the gang out yes day
and as kids, I said, we caught catfish. He said,
you keep them, keep catfish. He goes, no, dude, take
them over to the bridge. So the next day we

(38:28):
caught four or five six catfish, and we kept a
little bit smaller ones and he cut the fins off
of them. Tarping and nurse sharks, I mean lots. We
were taking turns with the kids who would bring in
what nurse out I mean nice nice fish and tar jumping,
tarping with catfish on the bottom.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
There's always something to do. I've been down there like
you guys, quite a few times, and the wind cranks up.
Even those little canals and passes that go from one
side to the other are always real good. The edges
are all rock and you always dive the canal and
get lobster. Just don't let the neighbors dive in the canal.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
It's one of the one of the coolest things about
the Keys, I think, just in general, like you said,
there's always something to do. The fishing is spectacular. I
mean it's it's ridiculously special. It just is. I mean
it's a yeah, it's a really really unique place. And
I I was just down there filming in August, and
even in August when it's a little bit hot, sweltery hot, yeah,

(39:32):
but it was I mean still, I mean when you're
playing with micro tarpin and tailing redfish, I mean it's
it's a special place. I mean you can just do
some really really unique stuff. You're so close to the
glades for that skinny water, you know, tarpin and redfish
and snook thing. And then you know again you got
the the big water side where just sailfish and you know,

(39:57):
mahi and everything that you do. Now it's I mean,
if you really wrap your brain around the Florida Keys
and what's all available there, if you were an angler, yeah,
there's it's just never end to hit them. Yeah, I mean,
snapper you know all the different snapper, I mean big mangoes,
you know, the mutton snapper by just it's goliath grouper,

(40:19):
shallow water goliath grouper fishing along the mangrove shortlights, I mean,
just break your wrists trying to get them fish to
come to the boat. You know, just time. Yeah, yeah,
it's a special.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
The tackle shops help you out down there too. I
was having a slow time and the guy that owned
one of the little top mom and pop tackle shops
right off the main, you know, a one a there.
I was bouncing Balaho. It's kind of slow, and I
don't like no wind at all, because I can't you
just dragon bait. You're not really bouncing. The guy in
there says, have you tried the jet lures? And they're

(40:50):
called jet lures. I've got them in a box at home.
And he goes, try one of these, and I went
to counter. I said how much? He goes, no charge,
you'll be back tomorrow and by ten. And I came
back the next day and bought ten. And they're a
little jet do you know what I'm talking about? You
They make some bubbles behind them, but it's just a
trolling little.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, a little jet and blue and white.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, we had well, I bought ten so just in case,
I bought every color. But man, they work really well.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
They do. I know exactly what now I'm curious. They
make a little lot of jet. Heead on it, got
a flat head with holes through it. They're all different.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
It's just a little skirt knucklehead, little mini knuckleheads, and
they work great.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Just slow trolling them.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Huh yeah on the top.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Yeah, instant no bait, No, I mean plastic bait.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
It's like a little squid. Yeah, exactly what it is.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
You know, I might have missed that one the weekend.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Yeah, we just gotten back from down there little guests.
Brillo and I talked to the fairy cap in there
and she said, there's this guy. He says, where you're from.
We did a lot of talking about Tampa because oh,
there's this big guy up there.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
You did a lot of talking.

Speaker 10 (43:10):
No way, we had to take a nap. Well, we
talked and she said, there's this guy. We just love
to watch him on TV. And he says, if you're
too busy to go fish and steal a kid, or
go golf, or just stay home, and take a nap.
I go, that's the guy, and she said he's a
really big guy. And Mitch, my buddy, even helped. He's like,
oh no, no, they use bubble eye lenses, those fish

(43:32):
eye lenses. He's usually standing on milk crates. And he's
just a little bitty guy. He's a little bit shorter
than stallone.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
He said.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
When he rides anywhere with Mahoney, Mahoney makes him strap
into a car seat. So we got a pretty convinced
a booster.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
See yeah, awesome, that'll be great. Keep propagating that room.
I go undercover.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
You're not listening, You're not sneaking up on anybody. Bro.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Yeah, thinking that way, one of his haters show up,
but occ come through that door and go, yeah, you
look a little different.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Well, Jylan, if you were listening earlier. Now, not only
have you got me at one hundred years old, but
Mahoney's got me at nine foot tall and three hundred
and fifty pounds.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
And a mystery.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
But I appreciate you saying I'm I'm like one hundred
years old.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Oh so you caught that.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
I caught that.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
We talked, We discussed it.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
Yeah, Well, yesterday was an interesting day. I had Captain
Ray Markham on the line, and then I mean we
had Van Hubbard, we had Lee'sa, we had Scott Moore,
justin Moore. It was crazy, it was it was a
whole thing yesterday.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
So that's an eighteen thing. Celebrity list, name dropper name.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
It was nuts. It was nuts. I uh, it was
hard to get through everybody. You know, that's how Saturday goes.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Now, you got a list off twenty of them. I
know when I go home, I go you know who
called today? Dylan Hubbard calls the guy you see on TV.
That's our big time here on Sunday.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Well, fishing wise, things are going well. Finally finally got
a nice little weather window coming up, and we're very
very excited about our opportunity to get back offshore this
week and hopefully capitalize on this little weather window. This
time of year's an interesting time because we get back
into the frame of things where you get a little

(45:39):
few days spurt and then it gets windy and rough
again and you've got to time your trips around this
weather and fishing gets so good offshore, and I really
enjoy this time of year. There's less people around there's
a lot of things happen and a lot of patterns overlap,
and it concentrates that bite so well for us. So
we're seeing near shore the hogfish really starting to pick

(46:01):
up well for us. We're seeing more than bigger mangroves.
We're seeing a lot of mackerel, those kingfish hopefully won't
be too far behind them. Offshore wise, I mean, we've
got the scamp, the triggerfish, the red gruper to chase.
We're seeing bigger mangrove snapper. Generally in these cooler months,
a little less volume of mangroves, but the quality goes

(46:21):
up a lot. We start to see more mutton snapper
as well. Last year, during these cooler months October, November,
December all the way through like February, the mutton bite
was crazy. We were getting upwards of two dozen sometimes
on a thirty nine hour trip. So I'm excited to
hopefully see that again this year and looking forward to that.
And we had such a great pelagic bite prior to

(46:45):
all this wind, and I'm hoping and praying and keeping
my fingers and toes cross that those fish are waiting
for us now that we're able to get back out
to them here today and tomorrow and the rest of
this work week coming up before that wind coming up
this weekend. So exciting, exciting times. I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
I had, I had. I had a couple of guys
tell me this week that the Inner Coastal they're fishing
the Inner Coastal because of the wind, trying to stay protected.
They said, the gag grouper bite in on the docks
was ridiculous, Like a couple of guys were thirty inch
gags coming on some of the docks on the Inner Coastal.

(47:24):
And again, I can only this time of year always
got good November usually it's a little early, but you know,
those water thumps came down a little bit, especially with
the cloud cover and some of that wind. You know,
it was really good. Like guys said they had trouble
turning some of the gags they were hooking on the docks. Yeah, yeah,
really good.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
And we're going to see more and more of that.
It's only going to get worse and more and more
people are going to get heated about it. And I
enjoy hearing this because it just it shows the health
of the fishery and it is frustrating that the science
to management takes so long to catch up, But the
benefit is to the fish. Man that wasn't that population

(48:06):
is getting crazy.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
I wasn't bringing it up for I wasn't bringing it
up as an angry angler. I was just saying that
it's pretty cool to see. I mean again, I would
I would hope that, you know, this would turn in
our favor, you know, when when.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
We're going to set it right and we're gonna have
a problem. I mean, think about we're coming into kingfish
flat line season. A lot of times in the fall,
when the kingfish show up, it's a little early for
the gags to be super aggressive, so it's not as
much of a problem in fall. But in early spring,
if the kingfish show up early, you're out there flat
lining and forty fifty sixty foot of water, you'll get

(48:41):
a thirty five inch gag.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Yeah, you'll get a thirty five inch gag come up
to the surface and hit your flat line for sure.
And I'm really looking forward to this early spring because
it starts to get good now with those gags and
they get aggressive October November December, especially after these big
coal fronts. But man, once you get into early spring.
When they're getting into that spawning timeframe, they get even

(49:04):
more crazy aggressive, and it'll be fun to see what
happens this winter.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
For sure.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Mani Mahony just put his pen down, but he wrote
down somebody famous called in. I'm already getting on a
post that somebody famous already getting reports of kingfish on
the beach too. What are you hearing up front there?

Speaker 5 (49:23):
Really?

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Yeah, really, I haven't had a solid report of a
actually caught kingfish. We've had reports of some spotted kingfish
jumping around, but nobody has reported catching one that I'm
aware of.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Julio Lima's pretty dialed in with that group out of
my marina that spends some time out there on the
beach chasing him doing some commercial stuff. Yeah, they said
that the they did see some kingfish. I didn't hear
one being caught. They saw some kingfish skyrocking and the
macro bite was ridiculous, big mac' here.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Oh yeah, redish.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
And most of the time, those commercial those commercial kingfish
guys are some of the best fishermen at keeping stuff
under wraps. They don't they let they let us find
out the hard way. Those commercial kingfish boys, they know
how to keep a secret.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Yeah, they write it down, put it in a safe
and throw away the combination to the safe. Yeah, no doubt,
no doubt. It's crazy interesting.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
The benefit is they unload at our dock, now at
Don's dock. I get to watch the tickets come across
inside Info.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
There you go, Mike was mister Mahoney who was mentioning
the big red fish schools too, that show up on
the beach, and the frigatebirds. The big frigatebirds have been
out there on the beach there, nobody's nobody's told me.
A bunch of guys went out and looked. Nobody said
they found the redfish. Now again again, how much are
they going to tell you?

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Frigate birds are there? When I called them and I
lucked out. I pulled over there in October and I
saw these birds. It was a hard east wind, so
eight up on the beach. When those birds start dropping,
yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
And I'll tell you what's cool about those fish. I've
caught him, my head coach Cooper on the boat from
the Lightning and his son and well Rob Gorda, Rob Gordad.
I'm dropping Rob's name as well. Captain Rob Gordon was
headed out as I was coming in with bait, and
he said he was going out to look for him,

(51:27):
And you don't really need bait to catch those fish.
Jig or just not even stretch thirties.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
I was using that.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
I was using big paddle tails. The key was down
a heavy jig because those fish get those fish will
come up and then when the boats get on top
of them were near him, they go down right away.
So the key for us was every time I got
in and we stuck one. And the key was a
heavy jighead because when you pitch to where they were,
the birds are up on the surface. You need that

(51:55):
bait to get down because those fish will go back down.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
You caught him and he didn't have anybody famous on board.
No guys from Canada.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Those guys are famous, your deer hunting buddies from they're famous.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Yeah, famous up there.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Famous for you know, they're important to me. I care
about them.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
I think the most famous person I deal with probably
owns Hubbard's marine.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Dylan Hubbard. Yeah, he's a big celebrity. Is celebt. You
should try and walk around I cast with him. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Everybody try try sharing a backpack.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Can I get a picture?

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Yeah, that's a three armed back It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
You can't even go get a steak. You can't even
get a steak at the steak joint without people want
to get a picture with him and all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Walk into All you Can Eat. They say, it's all
you can eat, not eat all you can.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Nobody, nobody gets Nobody gets a nickname like sugar Bear
for no reason. Okay, Richard, yeah, Richard, Yeah, Richard calls
up and yells at me. He calls up and gives
Dylan cute little nicknames and sugar Bear bear, yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
That comes with a huge.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Back to the redfish on the beach, though, the schools
of bait out there have been crazy. I've been getting
some videos from some of the Captain's crewis in the
beach looking for triple tail setting the pinfish or set
in the stone crab traps. I mean, we are seeing
those acre sized schools of bait out there again too,
which is pretty cool. And so I know when those

(53:25):
kingfish do show up, it's going to be on and popping.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
For sure, hopefully. I don't remember last year did we
have the big schools of mackerel. Was the mackerel bite
really good on the beach last year, because last year
the kingfish bite was off, So I'm hoping.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
That the mackerel and the kingfish bite, Yeah, maybe kingfish
have been tough.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Maybe right Brussel call in because his pictures that he
posted had.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Mackerel okay, okay. Well again, it's good to see because
that's what I remember. I remember the mackerel and the
kingfish being off last year. And like you said, Mike,
it might have been just a fly by. They might
have came through real quick, and which happened some times.
If your weather's not right, the bait's not right, they
just don't stay around long. Or if it's blown thirty
for a week and a half two weeks when they
happen to come through, not a lot of guys get

(54:09):
out there to get on them because it's a little
too rough to deal with.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
So the commercial, the commercial quota is a good reflective
point though, and the commercial quota has not been caught,
so it's last year was pretty soft, and I'm hopeful
this year that we'll have a better run for them,
for sure, because those commercial guys, they'll weather that they'll
weather the weather, if you know what I mean, to
get out there to them and they'll chase them around

(54:33):
and just we have had a very rough run of kingfish,
but it has slowly gotten better. The guys up in
the Destined Panama City Beach area said that they've had
a really good push, so hopefully we'll see that in
this fall.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Yeah, hopefully good stuff. Tell everybody how they can.

Speaker 4 (54:49):

I've been to are any more beautiful or spectacular than

(58:17):
South Season Resort and the way they are getting things
redone down there from the storm, and it's not all
completely done yet, but I've I've been there a couple
of times and watched the construction and seen the vision
and talked to the big wigs from Timbers Resort, and
they are they're doing it up. I mean, the water
park is ridiculous. When I first drove by it, I'm like,

(58:37):
looks like a water park, Like are we putting a
water park in South Season Resort? They're like, yep, right
on property.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
I'm like, where was that? When we were.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Yeah right, no doubt would be, no doubt mahoney and
his speedo.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
I'm going to act like a little kid when it
opens now, I'll be like a sixty year old little kid.
Run on the water slide, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Fun thing about the waters. We used to do this
and remember this just that hard has nothing to do
with this. It's totally entertainment.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Keep the dump button ready there, Derek Debosas we go.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Into Adventure Island, of course we'd jump the fence in
the back. That's before they'd really do anything to you.
We would stop the slides. That was the funnest thing.
Like when you could go, you'd always want to look
who's behind you, because who's behind you, who's going to
be running into you. But you know, on them slides

(59:31):
that go around and around, and we just put your
hands up there as long as you and your buddy
know you're doing it. All of a sudden you kind
of clog up the slide, get about five or six
people backed up behind you, and sometimes we would actually
jump off the slide and then run to another slide
and jump on. So when they would go to look
for you, they would go to look for you came

(59:52):
out a different shoot, they would never see you. We
were pretty good at that, me and my buddies.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
Flim flam flim flan, flip flap.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Don't try that at a very young age.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
They've figured out how to stop that kind of nuts sense, Yeah, got.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
Well, back then they had a fence around where the
inside was, but when you jumped off one to another,
you were already inside the fence. It didn't matter. Had
to be careful. I remember the one time they got
their eye on me. You know, I was wearing a
pair of orange sun breeches with the rainbow on the
back of them. You remember those. Yeah, they were big
down here, surfers and stuff, And of course I was

(01:00:30):
the only one in the park with them, so it
was kind of easy. They were tracking me the whole time.
I had to leave a little bit early. Me and
my buddy Andrew, we used to have a good time.
You got it's just like a tournament, you know how
I told you got to read the work.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
I have this picture of him and a buddy leaving early.
It means they're running as fast as they can for
the bushes in.

Speaker 5 (01:00:51):
The woods at escorted. When that's when you're asked to
leave the water park. Cops got him that his early.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
The cops water.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Got more stories.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
Let's go to the phones. Let's shut to save this segment.
Let's go to the phones. Here, check in with Captain
Rick Gross. Rick, how are you, buddy.

Speaker 9 (01:01:16):
I'm good. I don't know if i'm you guys in
the studio right now, but I'm good.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
You gotta be better. You got to be better than
we are. We just got swim trunk stuff from Mahoney.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
So Mahoney with a rainbow is a whole nother discussion.
I don't know he invented it.

Speaker 9 (01:01:36):
Yeah, I've just got a picture of Mahoney and Birdwells.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
I'm like, oh my gosh, you talk to me, buddy,
what's the bike.

Speaker 9 (01:01:51):
I just want to say. They are biting. They are biting.
I said, if you can't catch fish right now, you
need to take up golf.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Well that's good thing. It's a good thing. I tell
you what.

Speaker 9 (01:02:04):
You know, everybody's been talking about kingfish. They got to
be around. The macwil bite is just Friday. Friday, when
you're putting in and you're seeing nothing but commercial boats
putting in, you know it's going to be coming on,
and uh. I went out to the beach, and I
tell you, everybody says, oh, you never can have too

(01:02:25):
much bait. Well, one throw, I got the wrangles and
net back into the boat, and I had too much bait.
I spent most of the morning trying to dump bait
out of the tank so I wouldn't kill all my
bait in the tank. Again, you couldn't you go to
if you i'd put it. I'd hook a guy's bait
up and he would he'd be like getting ready to throw,

(01:02:48):
or he'd be talking to his buddy, and literally if
the bait hit the water, it got hit. I mean
he was ready to cast what's his bait in the water.
And it happened. I don't know how many times anywhere
around the boat. It was getting hit as soon as
it touched the water. It was on Friday, and it
was everything. And you know, talking about kingfish at macwel

(01:03:11):
bite is going crazy. Those kings will not be far behind.
And then the blue runners all mixed in. Those blue runners.
I would take a blue runner and hook it back
up and search low troll on that beach. You're going
to find the smoker of a lifetime because they're going
to be ahead of the rest of the pack. Yeah,
they'll be on the beach too. Another thing that was

(01:03:33):
interesting was at the end of the day cleaning fish.
The guys you're saying, look at that big fish down there,
and I'm thinking, Oh, it's going to be a nurse shark,
or it'll be it'll be a snoke, big snook eating
the carcasses. There's about one hundred hundred plus pound harping
at the boat lamp. I'm thinking, Oh, what are we
going to start Robbie's north here? This is crazy, right,

(01:03:56):
I mean, and it's not two foot of water underneath
the cleaning table. And he just and he was not
in any big, big hurry because I guess he had
been there for a while and there was no other
tarping to compete with, and he was just slurping up
the stuff I was throwing out there. I was like, how.

Speaker 8 (01:04:12):
Big do you think he is?

Speaker 9 (01:04:14):
I just, oh, he's over one hundred, he's over one hundred.
Down to the keys. Sending anybody down to the keys
right now, it's happening here, right now, they go down
to the keys. In the month, they can go down
to the Keys in a month or two. But right
now it's happening right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Here, right good point. Yeah, that's a good point. Good point.
Even with that wind we had yesterday, the boys caught
a lot of fish. Boy, we had that tournament of
fins and that whole the whole area of Apollo Beats.
The guys really couldn't get out front. North wind blowing
twenty plus and all the guys absolutely hammered the fish
just fishing the documents, trout, snook, redfish. Yeah, that's happening,

(01:04:53):
there's no doubt. Perfect time of the year.

Speaker 9 (01:04:55):
Well, I tell you another thing too, is you you
can just get near the pass is if you can
get in in the path itself, even if you can't
get out into the beach itself, you can get off
of Being Point sometimes because we did it, you know,
commercial fishing and stuff, and you get the passage, breaks
the wave up, and it may be rough getting there
or whatever, but you can get right in there on

(01:05:16):
the inside of Being Point and passage and you can
have a day right there.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Hey, Rick, Yeah, November is almost here.

Speaker 9 (01:05:29):
I think about being in a tree stand is what
I'm thinking about. I usually go like Halloween. I'm usually
in it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
But November is when we're supposed to show up in
hollings Worth.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
Okay, I knew, I knew he was a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
I got the deer thing covered.

Speaker 4 (01:05:46):
Ye.

Speaker 9 (01:05:48):
Okay. We did a little bit of slow trolling about
two three weeks ago and we didn't get anything other
than a catfish. Nice channel. Cat caught stripers that I
think they had just put the hatch back in that
they weren't much bigger than the plugs that we were trolling.
And uh, we've caught a couple specs, but nothing that

(01:06:09):
I would keep. But it was a little bit early.
But my buddy called him last October slow trolling the
like manateee. But I don't think it's happening yet. It
may after this cooler weather, but I think this week
we get into that next new moon, there's gonna be
kingfish all over the place.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
I would I would certainly think.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
There's lots of indicators right now, like you said, a
lot of bait on the beach, big mackerel are here.
It's not it won't be long, so good stuff. Tell everybody,
how can get ahold of your reck book? A trip
with the man himself.

Speaker 9 (01:06:42):
I still think the best thing to do is just
go th Real Animals and my company is Fishy BUSINESSLLC
dot com and the numbers nine or one seven, three
zero five, one four eight one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Of the best in the business. Always good to hear
your voice, my friend, have a great week.

Speaker 9 (01:06:58):
You too, have good week.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
Thanks by good stuff right there, the great Captain Rick Gross.
We got one more big segment here on the other
side before we wrap things up, putting a shout out
to our good friend Nick over at dropout cast nets.
As Captain Rick Gross was talking, that bait is thick
right now. You've got to have the right cast net.
Nobody does it better in my opinion right now than
dropout cast nets. The best production line net I've ever thrown.

(01:07:20):
Great great stuff available a team a Honey Company and
other Bay Area retailers as well. Make sure you're asking
for dropout cast nets by name. We'll be back talking
fishing on the other side. Ninety five three WDAE at
AM six twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
We're back. I want to give a shout out to
seools Tree Service. One of the things I've liked about
being a sponsor of Mike Anderson and Real animals for
shoot well over twenty five years. Is the people that
he uses, the customers, the sponsors are all people that
he's built a relationship with and a good people. Soools

(01:07:56):
Tree Service is one of those people. They're local there
in ball Rico. Got yard to clean up, you got branches,
rotten trees, whatever it is, it's the guy. It's my
go to licensed and insured eight one three, eight oh two,
five five, four to two. But you know one thing
Mike has never done is he's never really gone after

(01:08:16):
somebody just to get that sponsorship. It has to really,
you know, kind of go flow with the with his purpose.
You look back at all the Tampa Bay Sporting Clays
and Butler Boyd's and I mean all those are great
people and it's people who we use. Briar Greaves, I've

(01:08:38):
had him for insurance before he ever jumped on with Mike,
and it's just it's good people from the local area.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
For sure, no doubt can Tampa Bay Battery.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
Tampa Bay Battery, they're great people. Bobby Anderson over at
sixteen hundred East Bush Boulevard. They do our private label
batteries and one of the things you're gonna see I'm
gonna see is battery problems when you get this change
in the weather. We all know it. If you've been borderline,
if you've had that battery several years, charging it, draining it,

(01:09:13):
charging it, now is the time to check it. And
if you don't, the weather's going to because these colder mornings,
a little bit of cold front, that's when you're gonna
have your failure. You're welcome to come to our business
to look at that battery, or you can go directly
to sixteen hundred East Bush Boulevard phone number eight one
three nine three two zero one zero eight. That's Tampa

(01:09:36):
Bay Battery.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
You know these swings in the temperature too, when they
start this time of year. I checked the air pressure
in my trader time exactly right. Well you should, you know,
really I check them before every trip, I really do.
But that's right, but I have to add more air
when you've got those swings in your weather.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Than I've seen it on my truck. I've gone out
to the truck and got low tire pressure and you're like,
why do I have Well, it's that weather changing, you know,
just a couple of degrees and that thing picks up,
especially if they're different, you know, different people.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
I thought you keep them a little low so you
can screech off the line and beat some of those
camaros and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Oh I had a good one this week, M five
and he was in the merger. He's going to go
around me. This is my goal. When I drive home,
I know where the merges are, and if you come
onto the interstate or onto a road and you need
to merge, I'm the first guy to let you in.

(01:10:36):
But if you are the one that's going to dart
out behind me, because you're ten times more important than
everybody in that line, there could it may not work
out like you're thinking. And these Amazon workers they're always late,
so they run this on five seventy nine, this merge lane.
Right well, I didn't get that race. I was two

(01:10:57):
cars back because I figure if you pull up to
a light and there's a merge in front of you
and you're in the straight lane and they pull up
even with you, that's just saying I want a drag race.
Right well, this guy brand new M five.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Started jumping the fence at the water park.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Hey, Gray black rims, He's gonna go in a turning
lane to this industrial park to go past everybody else
while they're waiting, like he's that much more important. Let
me tell you something. That Cass Creek truck cleared and
I fish tailed like you've never seen. I think he
almost stopped because he's worried about me coming over in

(01:11:35):
that lane. You know, if you if you're gonna merge
and you should be in that lane, I'm gonna let you.
If you're a mini van and want to shoot out
behind me, I'm gonna run you in the garden. I'm
not ready for a new truck anywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
Butler and Boyd.

Speaker 5 (01:11:53):
Yeah, I'm in the straight lane.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
It's all in what you tell me.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
I never saw that entire pressure. Next, you know, it's Amazon.

Speaker 5 (01:12:02):
I got a good one lost that was this week.
There goes, There goes Amazon as a possible sponsor.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
They're gone. Let's go to Gary, Inglewood, Gary. How are you, hey, guys.

Speaker 8 (01:12:16):
I'm doing great this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:12:17):
How y'all doing great?

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
Fantastic, buddy, found you having a good time. We're trying.
We always do trying well.

Speaker 8 (01:12:25):
You know, my mermaid bought me a hat and it's
real animal, so I have it on right now.

Speaker 9 (01:12:30):
I feel like I'm part of the crew.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
I love that I got that for me, and I'm like,
that's all right. We're actually having a big apparel sale
at real Animals dot com, and Gary, you brought it up.
I wasn't gonna but big apparel sale. Everything's half priced.
So if you want to get some new Real Animals
apparel here as we roll into the fall, and our
long sleeved shirts all on sale. So you can get

(01:12:53):

Speaker 8 (01:12:56):
I think I think I might get it online right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
Fish dot com. Yeah, they'll know you're straightened.

Speaker 8 (01:13:06):
They won't even check it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
It doesn't work the same with ahony shirt.

Speaker 8 (01:13:12):
If I thought that was just a greasy white T
shirt right, Hey, Well, if you got a shirt that
will track redfish, man, I'm more than happy because I'm
still struggling on those. But mahoney, I was thinking about
the other day because I got to buy a nineteen
inch trout and that hook was buried. And you said
something last time we talked about h something that gets

(01:13:36):
the hook out.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Well d hookers, Yeah, the hooker, Yeah, I've never used one. Well,
all it is, you know, it's have you ever seen
a sabeaki d hooker.

Speaker 8 (01:13:49):
I've seen them on deep sea boots, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Okay, Well, they're just a little wire. Yeah, They're just
a little wire that comes out and curves around. There's
several different types of D hookers, but the ones I like,
you know, for the smaller fish, are going to be
just basically it's a coat hanger eight or ten inches
long with a curve in the end of it. Straight

(01:14:12):
wire that is hard to use on grouper because you
actually lift the fish when you're pulling, you know, you
hold the fish by the line. You stick this loop
around the line go straight to the bottom. But also
a buddy of mine has developed and I forget the
exact name of it, but it's like a pop up

(01:14:33):
cleat that spins out in D hooks to where you
don't even have to put your hands on them. Now. Personally,
nineteen inch trout, I'm putting my hands on him because
he's probably going in the cooler, you know he did.

Speaker 8 (01:14:47):
It was dinner that night. I've been eating. I've been
eating trout all week.

Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
And that's why you want want to have multiple lures. Also,
sometimes instead of trying to grab that lure while that
fish is green with anything, Why not just cut the line,
let him die, pull the hooks out when he's done,
tie up another lure and go at it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
I was in Keaton Beach. I was in Keaton Beach
this week filming with Greg DeVault and were we were
throwing miredeans and top water plugs and the bite was
really good. And it's the only thing I didn't have
in my skiff was a little d hooker, which doesn't
work so great on the treble hooks anyway unless you
luck out. And they just got one of the trouble hooks,

(01:15:29):
which normally doesn't happen. So we were having to handle
them a little more than we wanted to get in
our hands wet, you know, trying to do it as
gently as we could. And then you gotta be careful
that the fish doesn't shake his head and stick you
with the track.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Shaky.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Yeah. Yeah. I went in the big red fish too,
because the water temp up there was down. Keaton Beach
is three and a half hours from here, so that
water temp was down. When you stuck that mirroadean in
his yap, they came alive. Boy, they were energetic. It
was Yeah, it was a pretty cool fishery keep.

Speaker 8 (01:16:01):
I keep three. I keep six poles on the boat,
and I've got three that just had jighead. So if
I got one that's buried like that, I'm in a
nice spot. I just set him down on the in
side of the boat and start keep casting with the
other ones, because I don't want to miss that spot idea.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:16:14):
But I like keeping those trout nice and nice and
alive until I get home and I put the grill on,
and man, I don't even have their heads off. Actually
on my girl's four hundred degrees and they're going.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
On fresh speckled trout. It's hard to beat. Yeah. One
thing you don't do with trout is freeze. It just
better off to eat fresh.

Speaker 8 (01:16:33):
Yeah, any kind of fish, any kind of fish I
des eat that day with gentlemen. I'm going out right now.
We got the boat races down here. It's been a
little bit of traffic. It looked like Tammy and me
trail down the Inner Coastal going to stop pass yesterday.
But it's fun to watch them sit.

Speaker 9 (01:16:48):
Back and forth.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
Be careful when you're merging into traffic there on the
Inner Coastal. Guys like Mahoney out.

Speaker 8 (01:16:54):
I'm going to use Mahoney's line of what he's gonna do.
If you're a boat ask then then it's a.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Seat pro exactly. Be careful, very good.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
I'm the only one that thinks that way. Drive them
in the guard rail. I mean, what do you do
when somebody whips around you?

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
Well, my family would tell you that I'm one of
the most pleasant and friendly drivers on the road. I'm
always waving, happy, can.
