Speaker 1 (00:12):
Your hosts, Captain's Mike Anderson, Ben Marshall and the Legend
Mike Mahoney.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Good morning, Tampa Bay ninety five three WDA and AM
six twenty talking fishing. Gonna be here until nine o'clock.
I cannot get a good read on the weather. It's
one of those mornings where the weather apps are everywhere.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I mean, I mean, I watched it like I normally do.
Southwest winds seven or fourteen miles an hour, Hickey, yucky
and wet this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, and tomorrow. I got one that says it's not
gonna blow until after lunch. I got another one that
says it's gonna blow ten to fifteen. I had another
one saying it's gonna blow fourteen to twenty. But I
was only asked to be in charge of this morning.
Oh you just do. Don't do a forecast because I
had to look at at Georgia for tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Boy, don't care.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'll be in Georgia tomorrow. Okay, I got you.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, but more moisture and then it's pushing down dry
but not really cold.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
So yeah, it's uh, it's a it's a little bit
of a crazy, uh, crazy weather patter. I'm not sure
how tomorrow's charter is going to go. Not sure if
we'll get off the dock, or if it's going to
be raining or what.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
The rain is good. Rain is good here and it's
good up yonder. It's been dry really unless you have
to work. Yeah, well you do it right, Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
that's right. He's on another level. Weather update brought to
you by our good friends at Reese Windows and Doors

going on today, I guess we have the celebration of

(02:11):
life going on for our good friend vance Tice, which
is good to get together and celebrate that sure is well, yeah,
no doubt. It's been a little while. He's been gone
for a few months. Yeah, a little while you're missing. Yeah,
that's for sure. Yeah, no doubt. Definitely a legend. So
are you going to try to get on the water
this week?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
I'm supposed to get out the eleventh or twelfth. I
just came back from Georgia, so I don't really know
where we at about the eighth. Aren't we somewhere in
that neighborhood? Seventh or date? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
The date? I got one who doesn't have a job
and one who doesn't know the date. God help me here.
Let me try to get through this one. Every days
of work, I guess.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Unless you're hunting. But yeah, I'm I'm supposed to go
with Brett Norris sometime soon. I saw him fishing a
tournament this weekend. That proe look like your buddy power
Pole go live. The other guys quit, he is They
are on a roll.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
They are on a roll.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
It seems like all of them are having it. Where
is that was that out of Louisiana this year?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I think the power Pole go Live is wherever you are.
I think you fish? Yeah, I think you can fish anywhere.
I think that's one of the keys to that event
is you just get on your fish, and you know,
you could be fishing Steen Hatchie, you could be fishing
you know, Mosquito lagoon doesn't matter. I think that's one
of the interesting things about that tournament trail.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Is you know, in the look in the Red Fish Tours,
a team is hot and stays hot and then not,
and I mean it rotates. I mean back in the
day it was the Watts Brothers, and then Artie and
his dad started winning everything, and then it was Greg

(04:00):
DeVault and his dad. I mean, you know, went in
two or three in a row, and two or three
in a row. I mean, I guess the Watch Brothers
probably was the longest I can remember.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
They bullied their way in. They'd be muscled.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Well.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
It got to where Jamie and I didn't care, as
it wasn't as important where we placed in the tournament.
It was just what you said before. It was whether
or not we outfished the Watch Brothers.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I mean if you you brought in more weight than
they did.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
It was a great Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
These guys were like a rappers.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, rock stars.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yeah, I mean they had the whole entourage that followed them.
You couldn't even get close.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
To them, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt. Well and Ryan,
you know, Ryan Rick and his partner are doing some
of that right now. There's a lot of familiar names
at the top of that list. Jeremy Hins was up
there as well. You know already Price's name was up
there as well in the top ten. I mean, you
just you watch these guys and they consist at least

(05:00):
stay dialed into that red fish bite. It's a great
time of the year to do it. The water temps
are good artificial baits right now. It's a lot of
fun to throw them because everything has energy. The fishing
we did last week, the redfish we caught super energetic
in the trees, having to battle them out of the trees.
You know, they just have so much energy when that
water sits in that sixty eight to seventy two degree mark,

(05:23):
so they still feed good. It makes it fun. Yeah,
the trout bytes, the trout by it's been a little weird.
I think there's a lot of trout around still, but
I've had trouble. Although we had a picture of a
twenty seven incher come in yesterday morning out of John's Pass.
We haven't seen I haven't seen a lot of fish

(05:44):
over twenty A lot of our troutfishing has been there's
been a lot of big fish mixed in and big
fish for me or anything over twenty inches twenty two
to twenty three, twenty fours. We were picking up a
couple of those almost every trip, and the last couple
of trips lots of fish fifteen to twenty, but nothing
over twenty. So I don't know if the big fish

(06:04):
dropped off, you know, I don't know if they headed
for the passes. I'm not sure what how that cycle works,
but you know, and again my theory before we saw
the twenty seven incher coming in from John's Pass was
that I think they drop into the passes, getting that
deeper water.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
As it comes off a little sure, Well, even a
couple of guys, probably with hubbards, guys we know, would
catch them on the beach, and I've never I've never really, yeah,
I've I've caught a trout on the beach, but I
didn't target.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, yeah, there's some troughs right now along the passes.
And along the beaches some sandy troughs that are holding
a lot of trout. I don't normally find really big
trout there, but you know, there's been good numbers in
there so just been it's been interesting. I heard the
Pompaa Bite. We got a report yesterday at the Pompa Bit.
It's been kind of spotty, just not real you know,

(06:58):
strong anywhere, few here, few there, so just kind of
you know, I mean, it's it's December, so.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
But it's speckled perch, speckled perch. Yeah, it's turned on
right on the fresh water side.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah. I heard it started early this year too.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, yes, pretty much novembers when people start getting gotcha
and those of us that hunt, which is really confused
what to do?

Speaker 4 (07:25):
You have your plateful, they're trying to catch speckled trout
and you got all that. It's got so much speckled
perch every day.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Oh yeah, he's got so much to do.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm busier now than I've ever been.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Oh yeah, he's got so much to do. What he's done.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
He put his effort out the other day and called
me but wouldn't answer back.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
He did that to me too.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, there's my effort on communication, Mike, you didn't answer.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, he's got his own message from his you know,
cell provider. This idiot's never taken the time to set
up his voicemails, So don't even try to leave a
voicemail message.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Then you know, I have to worry about calling people.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You called me, You didn't leave me a minute. Nobody
can leave you a message.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
I called you seven. Where were you? You just didn't answer?
Shuffles too far to shuffle to get the phone or
what was the deal there? I know you go to
bed by eight, so you got to be up at
seven in the morning. I've been for an hour and
a half.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
The grenade phone.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Sorry have you Have you been back to the office
at all?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
I mean, oh yeah, every day? Yeah, zoom meeting.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Week.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
So you're ready for a technical question?

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, I'm ready. It's here.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
So I went over to Camp Paradise in Unandilla to
that newdest place jump off my Actually there's one not
far away, but we don't frequent that place. But I
was going to jump off my four wheeler and get
it on the trailer and have a little service done.
And so I had two batteries with me and One

(09:01):
of them was the three hundred and fifty dollars lithium
battery that I won in one of the auction deals,
Riffle Deals, and.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
It came from my homies. Now, oh oh it was
good then.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
So I'm about to jump it off with my jumper
cables everything, and there's a there's a leaflet taped to
the battery that I never bothered with. It says, don't jump,
do not jump this battery. The other thing it said
was scan this code thing if you have an Apple,
and scan this if you have Android. And if the

(09:38):
battery hasn't been hooked to a charter within seventy two hours,
it turns itself off. You can't turn it on unless
you go get this app. And I'm like, and I
love the battery because it weighs three pounds and it's
a group twenty five twenty four battery. But I and
there's a button on top and then it push the
button and just so, so I was just gonna ask

(10:00):
you so. And I bought a charger for it, and
I wondered, like two or three days, I go plug
it in grods and show Red, Show Red, Show Red's
going that's a brand new batteries. A Lithian battery is
the greatest thing in the whole world. And then about
the fourth time I plugged it in, the charger went green.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I've got to go to the I was gonna do
it yesterday. I got to go to the website and
figure out how to operate my battery.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, it's kind of you know, when you get this
techie stuff, Ben, it's not just it's not refrigerator. You
don't just plug it in it works. You need to
become familiar with the products that you're buying, especially if
you're you're getting. And it goes true with but I
know a guy.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I know a guy, and the guys.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Never Okay, here we go. He never enters his phone.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
He's retired.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
I couldn't wait to call you in the deer stains.
I go, he's in the deerstand but I'm gonna see
him snay, So just tell me how the thing works.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
That's what called him the next morning. I figured I
really thought it. I was panicking he missed me because
it was the first phone call I've ever gotten from Ben.
I went back on history, and I've never seen where
he's actually called me before, but lo and behold, it's
something that he needed, so he wanted to, you know,
communicate at that time.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
But he was so worried about you that he got
all cleaned up. He was worried something's wrong with you.
We might have to get dressed up. Yeah, we didn't know.
We didn't know.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
But you know it's the power pole. I'm gonna go
to that real quick to answer this battery problem. You know,
you got all this new stuff coming out, and it's
new to me too, and I'm it's foreign having an
app on my phone to do with the battery. I
haven't done that yet. But all of that stuff, you
really need to do power poles the same way. They

(11:48):
have apps on there. And there's so many times we
install stuff, whether it's a trollo motor or whatever it is,
and the people get tied up with it not working
and bring it back. What usually falls back on the consumer.
He doesn't read the instructions, you know, And I'm guilty
of that. I'm not you know, elect when's the last
time you looked at your electronics?

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Well?

Speaker 4 (12:09):
If I hadn't read, well, I just looked at all
the instructions with it.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Well, I think what you know, it's the even the TVs, now,
that's right. I mean every time I turn my TV on,
there's another you know, there's another update. Would you like
to launch the update? No, I want to watch TV.
I don't want to launch an update. I mean everything
is on an update cycle. The troller modor the powerpole move,
you got to get it updated. I mean they run updates.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
You give these updates on the battery or on the
move or whatever it is that you're you're getting it on.
You can actually view that stuff from right there, and
they kind of take the panic away. But yes, Ben,
there is some kind of mode that's a fall asleep mode,
and from what I understand, that button on the top

(12:57):
some of them have it, some of them don't, and
can reset some of them. You also have to go
on the app to see where you're at with that,
or the charger won't work well.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
And I plan to, uh the next week thing, Actually,
do you handle that next week?

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I'll put it on my schedule.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
That's a big, big week for you.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
But if that, if that little pamphlet had not been
taped to the side of the battery, I guess I'd
have blown up something or no, it would have actually
probably wouldn't have done anything because it's asleep. Yeah, but
what a handy I mean for a group twenty four
or twenty five battery. I think it's creep twenty four.
I mean you carry it with your pinky. Yeah, And

(13:41):
that was I was like, oh, guess I'll just things,
got a bunch of juice in it.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
I'll go over and jump my foe. I think that's
the craze. You know, that's part of the whole lithium craze. Right,
it's not only is it is it light, but the
power is significant. You charge it supposed to stay, you know,
charge longer, give you power logger for.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Those long well charge quicker. And was looking at some
of the new golf carts out there. Was talking to
a guy last week. Forty mile range and five hour
from dead to full charge. That's pretty incredible. Yeah, forty
mile range, Yeah, that is incredible. So full eight year

(14:21):
warranty on the battery.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Oh wow. Yeah, they've been in business three years and
eight years on warranty. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
Oh, good morning you guys.

Speaker 7 (16:02):
I just want to tell you how much I enjoy
your show.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
I appreciate that I listened to it every well.

Speaker 7 (16:09):
I've had the radio on since nineteen seventy eight on
six twenty, so I listened to.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
All the sports shows.

Speaker 8 (16:15):
It has moved.

Speaker 7 (16:16):
Around from two places here and there, but so it
has been all but then I turn it right back on.

Speaker 8 (16:23):
I grew up here in Barasota fishing. You know.

Speaker 7 (16:26):
My friends had boats and we fished in the bays
and the bridges, and we used to pull up the
same fish when every tourist went by or every car
went by, and watch them go oohing on pull up
the same cat fish or sheephit or something nice. I
just want to tell you how much I enjoy your show.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, really, I.

Speaker 8 (16:46):
Listened for that.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
I really appreciate that. One man, Let me ask you
a questions. See, that's how you've been. Have you been
fishing lately?

Speaker 7 (16:55):
No, I don't fish anymore. We live on Hudson Bayou
and my wife's family home. Her family's been here since
nineteen twelve. Oh wow, and they've been down here on
the bayo since nineteen fifteen. Okay, And so I see
the people out there catching a snook occasionally and some

(17:16):
sheep heads.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Well, we certainly, we certainly appreciate you listening and calling
in and the kind words. My friend.

Speaker 8 (17:24):
Yeah, have a good Christmas and have a good year.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Mary, good buddy, Mary, Merry Christmas to you. And like
I said, have a great Sunday. Thanks Lynn. It's always
nice to hear.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't know, Hey, you know, just an observation from yesterday.
Looks like at least sometime soon next year, your tournament
docs will be all fixed up and back in place.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Oh. They starting to work on them there there. Yeah,
they're not done.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
They've got it blacked off and they've got a couple
of work boats there. But they're seventy five percent and
in place.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Oh nice. Okay, well that's good. Yeah, it'd be nice
to get that finally fixed up. You know, a lot
of a lot of people still reeling from the hurricane,
all up and down the west coast of Florida. I
was in Marco Island this week doing little fishing, and
there's still you know, some areas there that are a
little beat up. Still, there's you know a lot of
stuff's new. You see a lot of you know, prettied

(18:22):
up buildings and new routs and all that stuff. You know,
But when you just kind of sit back and think
about it, especially as we approach the holidays here, and
maybe you get a breath, you know, there's still some
people up and down the west coast of Florida, you know,
still rebuilding.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Well, I mean from Anna we got friends at Anna
Maria and all the way up to Gulf Arber's still
and permits and all that inspections and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, just a.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Meaning the insurance of people. And you know, I think
with our relationship with Briar Greaves, I wish that our
place and Anna Maria would have maybe gone through him.
We would have got it probably a little bit different result.
But the people we were dealing with. They just to
be honest with you, up to screw you.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah. Yeah, well, it's unfortunate that, you.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Know, they make you have it. You know what I
can't understand is and I even asked the bank this,
and of course it was like taboo. I said, so
you make me have insurance to get the loan, and
they go yeah, and I go, you make sure that
insurance is going to cover your investment, right when you
have that lean? Yeah, well, then when they don't give

(19:31):
me the money, why don't you give me some help?
Oh no, we can't.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
You know, well, it's unfortunately, it's a leadership problem. Yeah,
it's a leadership problem. The leadership in this country should
instead of taking the handouts from the big insurance companies
and lining their pockets with the money they should be
they should be making sure that the insurance companies are
doing their job on the front side and the backside.
And that's not going to change. We're dealing with that

(19:55):
with all this stuff. I mean, well, hopefully it'll change.
I don't know it'll change in my lifetime, but at
some point hopefully it'll change. But you know, that's just
the reality of it, you know, And everybody knows that
it's going on, and nobody does anything about it. All
we do is sit around and bitch.

Speaker 9 (20:10):
So you know, we did and we just sold it well.
But again that we don't have to worry about it. Yeah,
you don't worry about it, but the next person's got
to worry about it. Yeah, it's just unfortunate that the
world has rolled up in that, you know, mop of
a mess. So just kind of is what it is.

you know, to your point, you know, really it's the
technology is great, Powerpool is their customer service is amazing
if they can walk you through stuff. It was a

(23:34):
little adjustment for me, but if you stay on top
of things and just pay attention, it really, you know,
I don't want to say it's fool proof, you got
to stay on it, but you know, it really is
a really great combination. And don't forget to mention about that.
That powerpol charge system, and it saved me a couple
of times, okay. And the one time in particular, ironically,

(23:57):
I had my battery USA guys on a boat and
I was in some batteries I had in there for
like three months, and I was sitting fishing and all
of a sudden, my boultage alarm went off on my
garment and I lost all my batteries, my house batteries.
And I remember that they had that emergency start feature
that you can pull off your lithium to start your engine. Okay,

(24:18):
And you know a lot of people don't realize that
and that to me is just a game changer with
that powerpole charge system.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
I agree. I'm a big fan of the charge system
as well. And what's interesting is when I first was
started running the powerpole charge, it was the one complaint
I heard at some of the places, you know, Pro Marine.
The guys were like, it's really a bad to the
bone system. But it when it first hit the market,

(24:46):
guys were like, it's almost too smart, Like, you know,
the average angler, the average boater was having trouble with
it because again, it's an app's there's things that you
got to know, there's things that you've got to pay
attention to. But I think as time is going on here,
people are starting to get dialed into that and the
app once you and again I'm super not technical. If

(25:09):
Dylan's listening, he's laughing because I am not technical at all.
But I think the more time you're on those systems,
you find these little things that are built into these
apps now that really help you out a lot. I mean,
it's nice to be able to look at my phone
and know that my batteries are charged fully, that the

(25:29):
whole systems ago instead of just getting in your boat
every morning and wondering and hoping that everything went well overnight.
And it's charged. And I've had the boat for a
year and a half now, is everything's still good. You
can go to the app and immediately see that your
charge is kind of a nice feeling, you.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Know, right, I agree. And to Mike's point on those
lithium batteries, you know, there's a lot of really great
companies and they're all each individual battery is a little
bit different. You just have to get used to what
you're using, you know what I mean, they're not all
the same, you know, so uh, but a great show
this morning, and you know, there just one more thing

(26:07):
on the artificial game for your your listeners. Make it
real simple. And there's a lot of really great companies
and artificials out there, but mirror leure, little John, and
then and the mirror Dean. It's all you need this
time of the year, in particular that you've got that
purple flinter and and and I'll love these little negative
tides in the morning, you know, especially on the sand.

(26:29):
You know, just you know, bounce that little John and
then the verse of the incoming it's just start moving
up on the edges on the grass with the mullet,
which over to that mirror, Dean. Keep it simple. And
then also what works really good is and you can
even do it if you're on pampino on the grass
is take that little john and cut it down you know,
about and a half and it works really good. And

(26:51):
it works really good under a rattle cork two feet
three feet under a rattl cork, and just just fish
it like you would just pop it. Read it a
little bit, almost like you were jigging. Buddy, I'm gonna
tell you something. It's simple and it just works.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, no doubt that popping cork. You know, it seems
like things a lot of people have gone away from
the popping cork. You don't hear a lot of people
talking about them anymore. Used to be the rage twenty
five years ago, twenty years ago, and it seems like
it kind of fell off the table. But boy, it
especially around schools of mullet. I can't tell you how
many redfish have caught working those popping corks around a

(27:25):
school of mullet. Unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
That works good, and just keep it, keep it moving,
especially if you're going to fish an artificial behind it,
because if you don't keep it moving, you know, you'll
class that thing and that fish will come up and
look at the float. Well, if you keep moving it,
they'll get onto that bait whenever you're pulling pulling behind it,
you know what I'm saying. And live bait fishing it
the same way. You know, you'll pop it and you'll
come up and chase the cork around and pop it

(27:50):
the float well and in your baits down two feet
if you just move it and keep it moving, you
know that works really well. So anyway, happy holidays to everybody,
and I'm gonna go watch a bunch of girl pulling
a ball around and.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Great call justin.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, great stuff, thanks for joining us by that mery.
Christmas to you and your family. Be good, good stuff,
and so.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Much knowledge there with that whole dropping cork thing. Let
me tell you he was spot on that well.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I My first sponsor was Equalizer. It's amazing how well
those work in the cage and thunder because you can
throw it and then you know, you can put a
d o A underneath it, which you can't hardly throw
with any wind at all, you know, even the the
big packs of the green corks we used to buy.
You can take and cut cut it off flat, you know,
on the top, and make it into a popping cork

(28:41):
if you want a little lighter rig. Some of the
some of the folks who get those weighted popping corks
that are really to suspend a pinfish or whatever. But
you know, they make them that are about six inches
long with a weight in the bottom of you you
can strip the reel with a cast.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Throw a long way, no doubt. There's acts companies now
that are putting different types of beads on popping corks,
which changes the pitch of that pop. You know, the
rattles are changing. Four Horsemen out of Louisiana, real popular
popping corks out there, and it's got a whole different

(29:17):
rattle sound to it. Just interesting to me that how
the the technology even we were talking about technology into
batteries and you know, chargers and trolling motors, even in
even in the popping core game, which you would think
is such an easy, simple little tool, but even that's changing.
Guys are tweaking those things and changing that popping cork

(29:38):
game up.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
And even plastic bakes. They've been making the rattles with
the little glass tubes to just shove in to give
just a little bit more. And that even that equalizer,
the click that it clicks, yeah, perfect, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
And then it's interesting. Like I said, I was always
an equalizer guy too. And then it kind of changed
it again. Everybody kind of went to this four horseman
Deal's got a different sound to the rattle, just weird,
like it's a different material. It just sounds different, and
fish come to it. It's it's a lot of fun.
So let's see if we can get another call in
here quick. Let's check in with the beautiful Florida Keys.

(30:13):
Capt Mike Perry, Michael, how are you?

Speaker 5 (30:16):
I don't know how beautiful? We get a lot of
overcats today. I'm standing here and I walk down to
the end to end of the road and I look
in the gulf and then I walk down the other
end of the road and I have my my glass.
I'm glassing out over and I'm like, because I can
see like the patch or e boats with the binoculars

(30:38):
I have, and are they out there? Where are they at?

Speaker 3 (30:42):
You know?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
So I've got a trip here in about an hour
or so. We're going to go out and see if
we can't get them before this front crosses the Great
State of Florida. But the fishing has been pretty darn good.
When we can get out. The kobea bite has gone.
Banana is down here, lots of good kobia, and it's

(31:04):
hard to convince people that are traveling from up north
that one thirty thirty five pound kobea is more than
enough fish to take back to the resort. And you
can have all kinds of fish for a couple of days.
But the koba bite's good. We're getting permit over the

(31:25):
over the rex and some of the higher relief or EEFs,
and it's just been really good right now, really good fishing.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's that time of year. The keys should be going
off right December, January, February, the past three months of
the year, and the keys.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
Probably absolutely now through the middle of April. Is really
other than battling the wind, right it's it's the thing.
And for many there, of course, we get in our
troll and then the wahoo are around, mike Ye, the
black fin tuna, they've been every where. Our grade of

(32:01):
blackfin had been smaller, you know, in the eight to
ten pound range, little mini footballs, but occasionally you get
one in that in the mid teens. I always tell people,
I said, our tuna fishing, if you get a fifteen
or better, that's that's equivalent to a nice big yellow

(32:21):
fin or a medium bluefin. I said, we do get
the yellowfin run, you got to go a bit further offshore.
But the trolling has been really good. The bill fish
and we raised a couple of marlin a couple of
weeks ago. Couldn't get them to commit, but they're there.
If if you get lucky and you get them on

(32:43):
the right tackle, you're in for a good battle.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yeah, for sure, that's seems like that. The black fin
get a little bit bigger as the months go on
into April, you know, Like I know friends of mine
down there catching them and they'll be kind of small,
and then as them, you know, a couple of months
from now that that average weight may get up a
little bit more.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Right.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, they definitely catch some good ones out there, and
now's I've always thought to myself, they got that Key
West Marlin tournament, and I was fortunate fortunate enough to
fish with some people in it. But it's really the
wrong time of year. Middle of this summer and I
caught one in a pre fish day down there, which
was like unheard of. You can win a tournament with

(33:29):
one blue marlin. But really, this is the time of
year for those sailfish marlin. Wah, who's that kind of thing?
For the next three or four months.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
I would say, absolutely is this is the time, especially
the sailfish tournaments. All the biggest sailfish tournaments of the
year run. They started a month ago and they're running
all the way into into March, so all the big
sailfish fishing is going on, and just to finish out
for Ben there, I got invited. Of course he knew

(34:01):
I was in the keys. Hey what are you doing tomorrow?
I'm going specfishing? Do you want to join me? And
I'm like, oh, killing me, brick killing me. But I said,
you know where I am right now. But the invite
he showed me some pictures. He said, didn't get many,
but the ones I got look like this and then

(34:22):
just stick the knife and the kidney and turn it
a little bit, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, I got I'm hooked.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
I'm hooked on that jigging. I mean, that is just
that's a whole different ballgame. But it is so much
fun with those long rods and those tiny jigs, and
just every time you're dropping down in there next to
the lily pad or pole rush or whatever you're fishing,
you know, you could pull up a couple pounder and

(34:50):
on those big sticks. When you hook like a two
pound bass, you feel like you got that twenty eight
inch trout.

Speaker 10 (34:57):
Mike.

Speaker 5 (34:57):
I mean, you hook those things in that raw just
doubles over in your hand, and you're you're doing everything
you can to try and get that fish. You know,
you're fishing with an eleven twelve foot pole. You're trying
to lift it up and not whack the guy in
the front of the boat with it. So that's a
real blast. So I'm looking forward to once or twice
getting up there and having a good time with Rick

(35:20):
and doing that kind of fishing.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
All right, brought the good stuff.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Good call, great good All right, you guys, have a
great day. God bless tight lines from the Florida Keys.
Take a vacation. Now's the time.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Thanks checking in, Michael. Have a great Sunday. Brother.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
All right, guys, you too, good stuff right.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
There the Florida Keys.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
It is very awkward at first, that the folks that
haven't done it the way we're catching those fish in
the loopads. You know, you got eleven foot rod and
you've got four or five foot of line off the tip.
So when you get a fish on, getting the fish
back to the boat is quite the trick.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Back into your buddy with the rod. It sounds like
a fun day to me. I'll fish in the back
of the boat, guys, y'all.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
You know, usually when we start hearing folks are catching
the speckled perchaes. Usually when I hear sheepheader moving in,
I haven't heard a lot of you know, the water
gets gin clear. Well, you got a cold.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
You gotta kind of be in town to hear things
that are going you know what I mean. Ben up
in Georgia, they don't know about sheephead.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
They know about croppie.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
That seems to be the word. The word is, guys
are starting to see more and more of the sheephead
around so and it makes sense. It's that time of
year we're headed into me. Yeah, we're headed into water.
Tim's still a little warm, really, I mean it's been
you know, the lowest I've seen is sixty eight here.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
So really, how do you rig up for sheephead.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
I like knock a rigging them, single hook, yep, yeah, yep,
single hook, even circle hook them. I know a lot
of the guys like the jay hook them, but I
the single The circle hook to me works really really well.
Two mustard ultra point with just a one ounce lad
on fishing the rock piles the same way the guys
are group of fishing all those rock piles all up

(37:09):
and down the shipping channel. They work really really well
they're loaded then when they load up, and especially when
the big ones get in there more towards the end
of January early February, when it's really you know, probably
the coldest we're going to be, it gets really at
least yeah the waters.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Times we get a disclosure before because I'm gonna tell
you the best way to catch them, and I don't
know if it's one hundred percent legal, So I don't
think that I'm doing this or telling all my suste.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
And involve a bucket.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Entertainment only travel hook treble hook of course, cut one
of the hooks off where you only got two, and
wrap a raw oyster around it.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
Instant boom and you don't miss nothing. But you need
to check the books and and all that kind of
stuff to make sure. I think a multiple hook, but
it's a dead bait. Could you put a piece of
rubber on it with the oyster and say it's an
artificial I'm not I'm not telling you what to say,
but I know it's deadly.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
In there.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Back in the day, it was fiddler crabs. Man, if
you had you a big water fiddler crabs. I know
they're much harder to get now than they.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Used to be. But I was going to ask.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
I was going to ask, you know, as far as
the keys go. He talked about, you know, the high
relief reefs and the permit. Can they get crabs down
there like they do in book grin? I don't know,
because I mean that's what I would assume.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
I would assume you think that place is loaded with them, Yeah,
you would have.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
I would assume, especially as hot as that fishing gets
down there at this time of year, I would assume that.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
They're probably using illegal blue crabs, a little small ones.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Yeah they were good. Yeah they were good, There's no doubt. Yeah.
Interesting I did. Speaking of fiddler crabs up reminded me
of I shot a really fun show in Jacksonville, fishing
the jetties there at Mayport and getting inside the little
holes and the crevices and the jetty all the rocks

(39:11):
underwater and catching really nice sheephead, really nice sheepad. So
the fire Yeah, filler crabs work good. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
You gotta have a flounder run up there. That's yea
there in Saint Augustine. That's all. It's famous. I mean
those are large.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Yeah, well the seems to me the flounder I've caught
most of the big flounder I've caught on that other coaster,
bigger than ours. They're the Atlantic flounder versus the well.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
They sneak, they sneak up and if they sneak north,
So good stuff.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
We've got Curtis in dun Eden. We've got Captain d
Hubbs on the line as well. Hopefully we'll hear from you. Questions, comments,
fishing reports, bring them right here. One eighty eight five
four six four six twenty light these phone lines up.
We'll be back The tm Hony Company Real Animals Radio Show.
Welcome back, eight o'clock. We got one hour left here

(40:05):
The Tmhony Company Real Animals Radio Show. If you look
for tree trimming, removal, stump grinding. A local company located
in Brandon, run by good people who do things the
right way. A licensed, an insured company with years of experience.
Don't wait until Mother Nature calls and delivers a blow
that costs you thousands of dollars. Called Sools Tree Service

(40:26):
today and let them clear up any possible problems before
the blow. Sools Tree Service eight one three, eight oh
two five five four to two or follow them on
Facebook at Seools Tree Service. Good stuff. Let's go to
the phone lines here. Phone lines are open one eight, eight, eight,
five four six four, six point twenty. Let's go to
Curtis in Duneed and Curtis, good morning. What's you got

(40:47):
for me?

Speaker 11 (40:49):
Good morning? Just two things. The first thing is you
have such a such a great show. And in the
world today where everybody's fighting and there's you know, there's
so much technology, it's uh, it's really grounding to have
a show on your AM dial that you can talk
about fishing.

Speaker 10 (41:09):
So thank you.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
I appreciate that. Thank you.

Speaker 11 (41:13):
The the second thing, I'm wondering if you would consider
doing your team doing a simulcast the day the Hubbard
and PST A launched their chip between Saint Pete and
Tampa just to kind of support pst A and the
Hubbard family, you know, just kind of do a simulcast

(41:36):
and have some sponsors out there both sides of the bay, and.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
All you got to do is turn on a TV
camera and Dylan will just pop up in front of
you like a puff of smoke, like a ninja.

Speaker 10 (41:52):
That's true.

Speaker 11 (41:53):
I was thinking a little more grassroots, but it is
an option. But think it's something you guys could really
pull off. And you know, I just love to see
this whole thing really just kick off, and you guys
could do a fantastic job at it.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Dylan's on hold, so Curtis, I'm heard he I'm sure
he heard you. Let's let's see what Dylan thinks about that.
We'll see if we can put it together. Love it.
Thanks for being a regular listener. We appreciate it. Thanks, Buddy.
I don't know what's going on. People are crazy, they're
giving us all kinds of love. Today, let's check in
with the big man himself, Captain d Hubbs morn indeed,

(42:30):
what's going on? Buddy?

Speaker 10 (42:32):
Doing well? First things first, I want to address earlier
comments from mister mahoney. Just so you know, it is
prohibited to use any multiple hook in conjunction with dead days.
So even if there was a piece of plastic on there,
if you're tipping it, that is still illegal. So just
clearing that up. Okay, sounds like it's a good idea,

(42:55):
but it's not.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
So the rever only get caught and then don't tell
them yourself.

Speaker 10 (43:04):
It's all about it's all about the wording any multiple
hook in conjunction with live or natural bait, so live
or dead. So if you tip it.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
It's the conjunction thing that money's heaving.

Speaker 10 (43:17):
Yeah, I'm sure it'll give him a second, he'll he'll
wrap that around. Yeah, Yeah, I'll have a loophole in
just a minute, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Butler it. We'll figure it out before you.

Speaker 10 (43:33):
Yeah. And as far as the comment from curtis, we
appreciate it and definitely, uh, the first step is procurement,
So we got to get work with PSTA and get
a boat lined up, and then once we have that setup,
then we'll be able to move forward. So we'll we'll
definitely be keeping everybody in tune as we move forward.
But definitely looking forward to starting that backup. As far

(43:55):
as fishing goes, fishing is going really well for us.
The forty four hour trip came in this morning and
they had a nice pile of fish. Weather got a
little spicy on them. When that front line came through,
it was blowing thirty five and at anchor, yeah, they
it was weird. It was a weird trip all the

(44:15):
way around. The bite was kind of strange. They were
hunting and pecking for red grouper, sticking and moving and
finally had some nice weather to do it. A majority
of the trip was nice weather, and so just bouncing
between spots and you get to a spot wouldn't get
a single red grouper bite, go to fire up the
engines and you catch one, two, three red groupers. So
it's kind of a motorbikee which is interesting. Kind of
like a summertime bite in the middle of winter, which

(44:37):
was weird, but hey, it worked. And then at the
end of the trip, that frontal line moved through and
that wind picked up so much it got choppy out
there and it was like a six seven foot chop
and they were stacking on top of each other really sharp,
really close together, and it made for a interesting end
of the fishing trip, but luckily on their ride home

(44:59):
they had an angle on them and it was nice
and comfortable, so put together a nice catch though. The
twelve hour night Friday night did really well. Big kobea
big red grouper. Overall, we've been seeing the red grouper
bite really good. Deep near shore eighty ninety one hundred
foot it's going pretty good, and then all the way
out to about one twenty one, and then we've been

(45:20):
noticing the red grouper fall off a little bit as
we go deeper, but we're seeing more of the muttons
and yellow tails out there, and we see a lot
of pelagics like the blacks and tuna and the wahoo.
Chances go up as we move deeper, stay in shallower.
We're still picking a few kingfish in that one hundred
hundred and forty foot range, but not a lot of them,

(45:40):
none really near a shore right now, so interesting for sure.
Hogfish can going real well near shore forty fifty sixty
seventy foot of water, not a lot of lanes in there.
The lanes are a little deeper, but overall things are
going real well. It's a good time to get out there,
just capitalize on these weather windows. It looks like we
got one second half of the work week there behind

(46:01):
this early work week cold front and then potentially another
big coal front this upcoming weekend. So take advantage of
the weather windows while you got them, because they're a
few and far between, and you just got to make
hey while the sun is shining, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Good call, job, Yeah, good call brother. We appreciate the
offshore report. What you got for us? Tonight another show.

Speaker 10 (46:22):
Yes, their Sunday night live stream show at seven point thirty.
We're giving away fifteen hundred dollars in free trips, diving
into what's going on now, what's coming up events, and
also discussing weather real in depts, giving you the best
days to go fishing, and hopefully we'll have a good
show and another great time and looking forward to a

(46:43):
great week. I mean, the second half of this work
week coming up looks like a real good opportunity to
crush them there Wednesday, Thursday into Friday before that weather
picks up. It looks prettynautical this upcoming weekend, So yeah,
I get it in why you.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Can all good brother, great job. Do we appreciate you,
my friend.

Speaker 10 (47:00):
Appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
Guys.

Speaker 10 (47:01):
Don't forget if you're too busy to go fishing, you're
just too darn busy.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Too darn busy. You the man have a great Sunday.

Speaker 10 (47:08):
You two guys.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Good stuff right there, always good, always good. Let's check
in with c. C. A. Hill. Was Brooke County a
good friend? Now Brooks? Now, what's up buddy?

Speaker 12 (47:19):
Good morning, gentlemen, how are you?

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Good's happening?

Speaker 3 (47:22):
We're always good when somebody calls us, gentlemen.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Yeah's coming. He's an attorney.

Speaker 12 (47:31):
I was actually calling to comment on mister Mahoney because
you really, he'll read those rules and he's gonna find
a way to find a loophole. Like Dylan just said,
Mahoney can do it.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
He probably should. He probably should have been an attorney.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
It's a great attorneys do.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
The attorneys kind of find the little loophole there, the
bob the weave. Isn't that? What? Isn't that?

Speaker 12 (47:53):
What it is? I was just calling in to wish
you guys a happy holiday season from the ta CCA
Tampa chapter. Are always support and we love the support
you guys give us. It it really helps everything. I
wanted to ask Ben, Ben, you've been spec fishing yet?

Speaker 2 (48:13):
I have not, but I'm getting all the pictures from
one of my partners in crime when it comes to specs,
and they usually start moving in on the moon in November.
But they did pretty well and big, healthy, thick fish,
so pre spawn.

Speaker 12 (48:31):
Yeah, yeah, I always see the bigger ones in early
in the year like this. Big numbers later, but the
big ones are always early, right.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Well, like Ben said, pre spawn, thicken it up, Brady,
rock go, rock and roll. When's the spawn? February, February, March, February.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
March, full moons.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
It just depends on the body of water and the
depth and the temperature and all that stuff. But from
the master that I hooked up with years ago, it
was February March.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Got you love it?

Speaker 12 (49:02):
Orange blossom?

Speaker 8 (49:03):
I was.

Speaker 12 (49:04):
I always find that if the orange blossoms are blooming,
its time.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
What's tough is to find an orange tree anymore. I mean,
you can't find an orange grove anymore.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
Right.

Speaker 12 (49:18):
Indeed, you.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
You had kids back in the day that would orange cars.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
I wouldn't know I heard. Now you can't find an
orange grove anymore. Next to the highway.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
So that reminds me of a story.

Speaker 12 (49:38):
Yeah, I bet it does.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Now you you and your family have a great holiday season.
Merry Christmas, all that good stuff, and we look forward
to all the good work that C. C. A and
you guys are doing here locally, uh and across the
state of Florida. Man, keep up the good work. We
appreciate you.

Speaker 12 (49:59):
The banquet's coming up. I'll keep everybody posted on that
as that day gets near. I'm about to go trespassing
and try to.

Speaker 13 (50:05):
Catch your past.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
They have no weapons on you, but arm trust passing Butler,
Butler boyd.

Speaker 12 (50:15):
Just a popar. I just got a popar. That's all
I got.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Good luck, my friend, be safe.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
Thanks Tom.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
All right, guys, good stuff right there. We got our
bush Light Peppin distributing safe boating tip of the week
here with Captain Jim Vogel coming up on the other side.
Phone lines were open one eighty eight five four six
four six twenty light them up. We'll be back, come

Let's go to the phones here, let's get our bush
Light Safe boating tip of the week. Our good friend,
Captain Jim Fogel, Jimmy, how are you. I'm wonderful.

Speaker 13 (51:26):
How are you guys?

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Good there?

Speaker 13 (51:29):
Yeah, good good.

Speaker 8 (51:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (51:31):
I got a couple of things here. I'm sure we
heard most of you heard about the four guys that
were twenty six miles off of clear Water that I
had to be rescued. They were in that catamaran.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
That was yeah, they were in a cat too. Once
you've got two of everything, yeah, you know, they had
they had to have a through hole on one side
of those of that cat fail because they were taking
on water. There's no other way to take on water
in a cat.

Speaker 13 (51:59):
I mean, well, they yeah, they're lucky. If a they're
lucky they got found. They did leave a decent floating
plan from what I understand, so that's always a good reminder.
But they wouldn't have been out there twenty hours that
if they had a floating ditch bag and a personal

(52:19):
locator beacon or an EPERB. So it's almost Christmas time,
and even if your wife a partner doesn't go fishing,
it's a good time to give them an EPERB or
a PLB and you can borrow it when you need it.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
I thought about you when I kept watching the reports,
because all they had was cell phones and they were
twenty five miles out, so no cell phone.

Speaker 13 (52:43):
Working, absolutely none at all, none at all. Right, So
before you go out, guys, you know, get it together.
I don't care, excuse me, I don't care how many
times you've been out and never had a problem. One
time that you mess up at one time that that
karma gets you.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 8 (53:04):
It is not good.

Speaker 13 (53:05):
It's not good.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
No time in the water, time in the water, this
time of the year is not going to be fun.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Yeah, they were straddling the upside down pontoons, but it
was one guy's seventieth birthday and he was holding on
to his ninety year old Wow.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
And even though they weren't in the water, they explained
that the waves that they were wet the whole time.

Speaker 13 (53:30):
Yeah, I think probably from their knees down or their
ankles down. They were still in the water to some extent,
even though they were standing between the two the holes.
So I also remind remember everybody that if you have
an opportunity to take a CPR class, please do it.

(53:51):
The one survivor of that catamaran that that flipped down
at Cape Caral, when the good Samaritans that rescued him
pulled him in, uh, he wasn't breathing and they gave
him CPR and helped him come back. You never know

(54:12):
when that's going to happen either. I mean, it can happen.
I help one time at a parking lot in the publics,
some poor lady went down. So that's one of those
things you can learn. You don't have to do it
exactly right. You know, they're different. There are a few
different techniques that are taught, but learn one of them
and just keep it in the back of your head

(54:34):
so that if if you ever needed, whether it's in
your own home or out on the street somewhere, you
might be able to help somebody, no.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Doubt, goold, save a life, no doubt. Good stuff, Jim Fogel.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
You know, Jim, I saw when they were when they
were searching for those guys, before they found them, they
showed a picture of the boat the family provided. That
was I believe it was a world Cat because as
soon as I noticed that, I went, well, they weren't
in an inexpensive rig because that were world Cat is
the boat of choice, I mean Ceto and a lot.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
Of folks run those Worldcats, I mean some very nice Yeah, yeah,
very popular yep.

Speaker 13 (55:09):
But another another reason to check those hoses, check those throughholes.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Yeah, you just never know, right yep.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Something gave way, ye yep.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
I've been there, no doubt. All right, good stuff, Jimmy
for the time.

Speaker 13 (55:23):
For the coast, card Ogovie and say p Jim Fogel, be.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
Safe out there, have a great Sunday, my friend, Stay safe.
Brought to you by our good friends at Peppin Distributing
and bush light who reminds you responsibility matters even on
the water. Let's jump back on a call here, a
good friend checking in, long time no chat, Captain Jeff
Page down in beautiful Sarasota. Jeffrey, how are you, buddy?

Speaker 8 (55:49):
Hello?

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Man, what up, buddy?

Speaker 4 (55:51):
What's happening? Jeff?

Speaker 8 (55:53):
Just checking in. And if you remember, it's been a
month or so. It was the talk of the big
Arctic winter we were going to have, and this cold
front was gonna make things, you know, so on and
so forth, and here we are back in summer.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Yeah, it hasn't been super cold for sure, but we'll see.
You know, that can change pretty quick here.

Speaker 8 (56:19):
Yeah, I agree. But at the same time, you know,
you know how cold winters are. Usually December stays cold.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been pretty acid. No, it hasn't.
It's been pretty warm. Like I said, that water temp
the coldest water temp I've seen, sixty eight degrees and
it's just you know, that's still really really prime water
tamp You know, the fish are still really active, so
it's kind of it's kind of crazy. A lot of
bait around, still a lot of white bait. I mean,

(56:50):
I took shrimp with me last week, thinking that maybe
I would use one, and it was just a wasted purchase.
I mean, we just we just didn't need it. We
just didn't need them. Kept kept thinking of any day
now we're gonna have to shrimp it, but we just
haven't had to yet. There's still a lot of pinfish around,
a lot of white bait, So I don't know, we'll see.

Speaker 8 (57:12):
Yeah, yep, but uh, because I always liked December when
we would get those weekly almost weekly cold fronts, and
I think we got one tomorrow. It's gonna knock it
down a little. And then I think next Sunday you
might you might notice those mullet go out into the
golf and do their spawning thing.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (57:32):
Yeah, that one next.

Speaker 14 (57:35):
Sunday looks like it might have a little little pack
to it.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Yeah, well that's okay. If next Sunday it'll be good.
I'm going to Georgia on Monday, so it'll be cold. Yeah,
that won't be a bad that won't be a bad thing.
But yeah, we we could.

Speaker 8 (57:51):
Use go ahead.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
I just think we could use a little bit.

Speaker 8 (57:55):
Of want to. I want to give a shout out
to your man, right Ricord he he just proved that
right now. And I mean I'm including Texas, Louisiana and
the Carolinas. I put Ryan Rickard right up on that
top on that top tier shelf. Yeah, because he just delivered.

(58:15):
He delivers every time, and it's it's due to the
hard work he puts in. I've seen a lot of
guys over the twenty five years I've been doing it,
and he puts the time in like Mark Seppe used to.
Mark Sheppey used to put in that same amount of
time and he was the king for a while. But
I gotta say, Rickard's wearing that crown now and his

(58:37):
partner Patrick's really good too.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Yeah. Yeah, they make a good team. And you know,
Rickard is really, really really good and he's even a
better human being, one of my best buds. And I
saw his name on the top of that board again.
I'm like, he just keeps getting it done. So it's
really impressive, especially as many years as he's been whacking
away at that thing and being a top five guy

(59:01):
over and over and over and over and over. It's
a lot of us that played that game for many
years know how hard that is to do. So it's
he's on an impressive run. It's really something else.

Speaker 7 (59:13):
Yeah he is.

Speaker 8 (59:14):
And let me tell you it was a star studded
field yesterday.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
I saw that, Yep, I mean.

Speaker 8 (59:23):
And the thing about the goal lives, Mike, is it's
not your regular red fist. And then you know this too,
because you used to do them. Used to be part
of the strategy was not just catching the fish, but
getting to where the fish were from the takeoff point,
and then catching the fish, then keeping the fish alive

(59:44):
in your libel, and then getting back to the way.
In these go lives. In these go lives, you can
launch at the closest ramp to your honey hole and
paddle a canoe out to it if you want.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Yep, I know I And all you do is I
had a partner that wouldn't fish in the same county
as the tournament, in any tournament. Yeah yeah, I was
one of the guys that knew us in the field.
Pulled up to us and tried to hand me a
twenty dollars bill down in Boca Grant at one of
the tournaments, and I said, what's that for? He said,

(01:00:17):
pick me up a Cuban while y'all are in Tampa
today exactly, and he was right. And then we also,
like you said, we started using welding tanks at oxygen
bottles and then you know, a three hundred dollars diffuser
that it came out like smoke to keep those fish alive.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
To go live. You don't have to do that anymore, right,
you're just what you're weighing your fish right there, live
and you're releasing them. It's better on the fishery, I
was saying. I think this is even tougher because guys
get to fish their honey holes. It isn't like, hey,
you know, hey, now the whole field has to go
to Jacksonville, or the whole field has to go to Mosquito,
La Goode or Titusville. You're fishing your home waters. So

(01:00:57):
if you're totally dialed into your fish, you know, that's
it's really impressive what Ricord and them did. And and
like you said, Jeff, I looked at that list of anglers. Boy,
there was some hammers. There were some hammers on that line.

Speaker 8 (01:01:11):
You know, you know who was in it who came
out of retirement.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
Artie Price too, Danny Lake, I said.

Speaker 8 (01:01:19):
The top five and Artie Price he was in the
top fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Yeah, I saw it. I saw those names on there.
That's exactly what I said. I was like, just straight hammers,
Jeremy Hymes, really great fishermen. There was some hammers on
that list.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
You talk about traveling. We made friends with Alden Boudreau
and some of those guys up there in Louisiana, and
they hated coming to a tournament Sarasota, Tampa Bay. Who
was like, you guys, educate your fish. You catch and
release is back back home. Our fish only make one
mistake and they're in the box.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Well that in that go live. You guys can fish
in Louisiana to right.

Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
No, not that. This one was called the Florida So
you are allowed. You are allowed Pennsylvania or Pennsylvania, Pensacola,
all the way down to Rick Murphy Land, Flamingo.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Okay, gotcha, all right? So it was just a west coast.

Speaker 8 (01:02:12):
But you gotta have cell service. You gotta have cell
phone service where you are.

Speaker 14 (01:02:17):
And there's a few variables, and you know, I'll just say,
Ken Hickman really goes above and beyond to make the
thing all pan out right.

Speaker 8 (01:02:27):
And you know, it turned out that down there in
Boca grand was the place to be, and I for
once made the right call. I normally I had my
fish at home, but I had guys around me to
wear from saying that boats to other tournament boats to
fishing guys. And I called Ozzy and I go, look, man,
I don't care if we catch them or not. Let's

(01:02:48):
just fish on your Me and Ozzie fish. Yesterday we
top fived it and we didn't have another boat around us.
It was and you know how it is with Ozzy lessenger,
and he never gets excited or depressed. There's one over there, Yeah,
there's one over there.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:03:05):
And I you know, I'm not much of a site fisherman.
I'm not. And I boogered up a couple good shots
that probably would have got us even closer to the wind.
But I did catch the eight eleven, and Ozzie never
got too excited about that. He's just he's so casual
and so mellow. And you know me, I'm on the
other side.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
Of that, right. Yeah. I wouldn't put you two guys
in the same boat in my brain, but I also
knowing how good both of you are, having fished with
both of you, that's a pretty sick lineup. I mean,
Ozzie Lessinger is so talented, so good at that stuff,
especially down there in his backyard. He's tough, really tough.

Speaker 8 (01:03:47):
Heah, and he don't he don't burn a lot of gas.
He's he's real conservative. And oh and he told me
he's filming a real animal show here in a couple
of weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
Yep, Yeah, we're on the schedule.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
That's those two guys, like having a piece of yarn
and a banjo string.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
No doubt, no doubt, we'll good call do way you guys.

Speaker 8 (01:04:11):
We've been fishing a long time together now, like three years,
four years, and we've never had a crossword. Man, It's
like we don't have a good one. We just we
just we get along. We really compliment each other and
it's just been a real blessing. But my hat's off
to Ryan, Rickard and Patrick and also to Ken Hickman
for putting on another awesome event.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Yeah, no doubt about it. Good call, Jeffrey. Great to
hear your voice. Man. Good to enjoy your Sunday, my friend,
stay in touch with us.

Speaker 8 (01:04:39):
All the glory to God.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):

Let's go to the phones here. We're a little loaded
up here. Let's try to rattle through some of these quick.

(01:06:51):
As we're in the last segment here, let's check in
with Captain Ray Markham Ray, how.

Speaker 15 (01:06:54):
Are you, good morning. I'm recovering from the intensity of
the last call. Yeah, I don't know if yet what
coffee we ran to coffee that Jeff Page drinks, but
I want some of that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
You should be he should have a coffee sponsor. There's
no doubt about that, because that boy is alive one.

Speaker 15 (01:07:13):
Yeah, he definitely is. I got a few things that
I want to talk about real quick. First off, thank
you for reposting the information about vance Tye's celebration of
life this morning from noon to five this afternoon, he
will be there will be celebration of life over at

(01:07:38):
the Freedom Lake Park, which is just north of Bill
Jackson in the Woods, which is in Penel's Park. So
that's number one, and I see number two. Wednesday night,
I'm going to be doing a seminar with Saltstrong over
in Tampa at the egypt Temple Shrine from six thirty
until I guess like eight or eight thirty something like that,

(01:08:00):
and anybody's welcome. You don't have to be a member
of it. Everybody's welcome to come see the next thing.
Ben mentioned he has issues throwing the deal ways from.

Speaker 8 (01:08:13):
Wind.

Speaker 15 (01:08:14):
Makes a big difference with that bait because it's a
lightweight bait. It's a finesse bait cast with the wind.
And quite frankly, there's the water temperature sitting is bumping
right around seventy sixty eight to seven depending on the day.
I'm sure it'll drop a little bit maybe tonight after
this front passes. But I usually fish those two baits

(01:08:34):
that Justin mentioned this time of year, the suspending bait
because it's an in your face bait stays right in
the strike zone longer than just about any other kind
of bait. And the absolutely the little John is the bomb.
As far as I'm concerned for red fishing man, There's

(01:08:57):
just hardly anything I know of that I've I've done
better with than that. And when it lands in the water,
it's it's really hydrodynamic, very slim profile. When it hits
the water, it lands very lightly and just kind of
hardly makes any noise, doesn't screw up the fish that
they can be sitting right next to the bait and

(01:09:19):
you know it doesn't spook them, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
Good things.

Speaker 15 (01:09:23):
I mean, great, great stuff. Guys, you had had a
great show days this morning, last night. Yeah, I'm sorry,
we're real quick. I just hats off to the guys
at Old Salts last night they had your annual Christmas
party and oh my god, the food that they had
last night. You couldn't get at a five star restaurant
unless you really want to pay a bunch of money.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
The Old sal right, they do everything right, Yes, no doubt. Yeah, guys,
good stuff. Right, we'll get we'll see yeah, we'll see you.
Thank you stuff right there.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
One thing about that little John that's incredible. I don't
know how Eric Botman is making any money off of him,
because you can catch about twenty fish on one before
it shows us.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
It's a tough Yeah, it's a very tough lurre. Yeah,
no doubt about it. Let's go here to Alan in
Saint Pete, real quick. Alan, how are you this morning?

Speaker 16 (01:10:14):
Hey, good morning, yelemen, it's been a few minutes. I've
been kind of busy, went up to do some deer
hunting in Wisconsin. But I listened to you when I
was in the stand up there, and I'm sorry I
missed yesterday's show. He had the great Bubba betting court on.
One of my favorite guys in the area. One of
the guys who took me under is kind of took
me under the wing early on when I moved here

(01:10:35):
and taught me some things, took some charters with him,
put me on my first slot snook. He's just a
great guy. Those are a great bunch of guys. And
I just wanted to say, you know, you know what
I do for a living, I see a lot of
negative stuff, and I see a lot of sadness, and
it's just nice to have a healthy reminder that you
guys are out there doing God's work and there's still
good people doing good things for good people. And appreciate

(01:10:57):
you guys. Appreciate everybody in the fishing community here Tampa
to such a tight group and helps each other and
support each other. It's just refreshing. Yeah, and appreciate it,
really really love you guys, and appreciate everything to do
this holiday season. And best to hear in your family
and go Pat Hey.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Amen, brother Amen. Yeah. Bub Bubba's a neat cat man.
Him and I have kind of gotten closer here the
last couple of years, and he does a lot of
really good things in the community. He's got it, you know.
He fishes a lot of my big events, and I'm
usually all stressed out because I got thirty to fifty
boats running and boats breaking down and people sniping and
yelling Can I fish with that guy? Can of fish

(01:11:34):
with this guy? And every morning I get down there
and Bubba's got this big old smile on his face,
just ready to take people fishing. So it's very refreshing.

Speaker 16 (01:11:42):
You may not tear up the fish with Bubba, but
you are gonna have a good.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
Time, right. He's a good dude man, no doubt. And
and what they do here with their ugly sweater party
for them kids is pretty special. Man. They bring in
a pilotoy, so it's it's good stuff. And there. They've
helped us out before with our Fishing for Hope food drive,
and he was telling us yesterday that, you know, he
was bummed we didn't reach out to him again this year,
so they're back in to help us for that next year.

(01:12:06):
So we've decided they're going to help us with food
for Thanksgiving and we're going to help them with toys
for the Christmas season. So yeah, we're working to go. Yeah,
fishing community. Yeah that is good. Yep, good stuff. Hey,
listen to my friend, you'd be safe out there. We
appreciate your listenership, your friendship, all that good stuff. You
and your family have a great holiday season, and we'll

(01:12:28):
talk at you soon. But I appreciate the calling, the
kind words.

Speaker 16 (01:12:31):
Oh, I have a great day, you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Too, my friend. Good people right there, for sure, one
of our fine officers in blue. They're making sure everybody's safe. Yeah,
good people, good people though. Yeah. Good Pope, good Popo, Yeah,
good Popo. Let's check in with Gary and Inglewood. Gary,
how are you?

Speaker 8 (01:12:53):
Yeah, go, I'm doing good.

Speaker 17 (01:12:54):
I went out on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
And you know, I always trying to make I call
fun in life, but I've got a very serious subject here.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
I believe. I believe that.

Speaker 17 (01:13:06):
Redfish might actually be extinct in the Inglewood water because
I can't even get near one. I tried everything I
catch Ernie trout to day, and I snooked and the
elusive redfish. I might as to go out with Cage
just to see how it's properly done, because I think
he might use dynamite or something.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
I can tell you right now, my friend. If you
want to learn how to catch him, that's the guy
to call. There's no doubt about it. There's very few
places on the west coast of Florida that that boy
ain't caught him, no doubt.

Speaker 8 (01:13:39):
Well, I've been out with him once. I was out
with him once years ago. But I think we call
it one or two.

Speaker 17 (01:13:46):
But the other day there's a spot in Englewood and
there's three monster oyster beds, And I caught a ladyfish
the day before, and I cut up in those steaks,
and I thought, well, the wind's gonna be coming.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
Out of the east, so I anchor up.

Speaker 17 (01:13:59):
I got the actually about, you know, towards like in
the middle where I can cast all three and I
chummed and the water is about three feet deep.

Speaker 8 (01:14:06):
And I felt like as a kid fish with catfish.

Speaker 17 (01:14:09):
So I throw out three lines and all I see
is a march of blue crabs going towards the fish.

Speaker 8 (01:14:15):
That I throw out.

Speaker 17 (01:14:16):
And I caught one eight inch across blue crab.

Speaker 13 (01:14:22):
And I don't like blue crabs to eat. I never
did like them.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
So was there a lot of mullet? Was there a
lot of mullet that you were seeing or no about activity.

Speaker 8 (01:14:30):
Well, like we talked about last week, it's not no.

Speaker 17 (01:14:33):
There's not a lot of mullet in the Englewood right now.

Speaker 3 (01:14:36):
You got to find those mullets. They're they're there somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:14:39):
You got to just find, say, outer bars of Bull
Bay and Turtle Bay.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
And even maybe around maybe around to that west around
to that west wall can be really good. A lot
of that stuff is real tide sensitive. Got to pay
attention to what the tides are doing the night before
even so you know, just keep chopping with it, buddy.
The good news is we have a.

Speaker 17 (01:14:59):
Lot of super low tides in that big Moon, but
it's just that red tide.

Speaker 4 (01:15:05):
Slide into that stump pass and throw a bait underneath
the dock and get a little.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Boored throat turning to us, mister mahoneys.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
They're at Gasparo Marino too, same thing, rule number one.
They're pretty much anywhere that they sell shrimp.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Gary, We appreciate your brother, a great call, my friend.
Always good to hear your voice.

Speaker 9 (01:15:23):
Stay after it, buddy, Thanks Gary.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
I was going to go to Dave next and you
just fell off on us. So we had David Brandon
I think was up next, and he didn't want to
talk no more so. So you're going back to the woods.

Speaker 4 (01:15:38):
Huh, what's a long trip for.

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
You?

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
And you don't know you're not going fishing this week.
You don't know when you go.

Speaker 4 (01:15:47):
Yeah, I think I go the eleventh or twelfth. Okay,
I'm not sure when that is, but got it written
down on the calendar of Bretton Norris. And you're doing
some alligator hunts.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
When are you going back to the woods.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Probably not this year, No, it's probably you know, maybe
to pick up at the end of the year some
of the groundblines and stuff. But it just seems to,
you know, be slower.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
Gotcha. You know the rut.

Speaker 4 (01:16:15):
I was there during the rut, and I went there
after the rut, and it's all tons of deer, just
some big ones aren't moving like they were.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
I'm not ready to stop yet. I'm not full yet.
I got a couple more hunts i've been there. Yeah,
I got a couple more hunts than me yet. So
and then we'll be ready. Then we'll be all fishied up.
You got a trip plan to catch some specs?

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
I don't have one plan, no, But it'll be real soon,
probably be next week or or the end of this week.

Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
Right if he communicates with the guy he fishes with,
or just show up, just show up, go. So we're
going to go.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
I got a couple of them. You know, if you're
gonna if you're gonna go with Rick Gross, you just
gotta be ready for a full day, full.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
Day I think fishing off.

Speaker 9 (01:17:05):
