The Buc Zone

Bottom post of the previous page:

Got a single whiting just before giving up. Got a good show of some dolphins fishing on the second sand bar.

Going back in the morning.

Terrible conditions this morning. Waiting for the bay side beach to open because the Gulf said no fishing today.

Edit: two catfish and the biggest pufferfish I ever caught. Caught the puffer and one of the cats at the same time.

Hooked the first cat on the other rod and at some point while I got him off and the hook rebaited and cast, I hooked the other two on the same rig.

Wacky

Yeah, rough out there. I fucking hate salt water cats. They're worthless and they shit everywhere.

Been too hot to fish lately and tourists will chase you off the beach by 9am.

I think this weekend is the shot at blue crabs. But with the water so warm, so early they might have run already. We'll see.

Pensacola News Journal from 2019 says grab a net and walk the sand flats in the late afternoon and early evening in the late summer.

The one time I did this it was mid-morning and four of us filled a bucket in 90 minutes.

After the summer we'll look into a crab trap. If I trap them now and it's full of egg bearing females I gotta let em all go. But I'm learning I can catch these little buggers all year.

Yeah the gulf is basically a bathtub right now. Shit's fucked, yo.

Did you see the graphic of the warm hater pouring into the gulf a couple months ago?





Without even knowing how that is going to affect the fish I'm like fuuuuuuuuuuuu

Tried another freshwater lake and got skunked again.

Poseidon making me pay my dues this year.

Still better than working.

If you're really needing to get your mojo back you could always go cast-netting for mullet. Smoked mullet is so damn good

Probably just as good.
