in Big Bend General Fishing & The Outdoors #1
New to this forum, but long time fisherman mostly in cedar key. Have viewed this site for awhile and finally decided to join. will be nice to get to know some of my fellow big bend anglers. My reason behind joining this site is to share some of my knowledge of cedar key while learning some stuff along the way. Just getting a handle on how all of this works but would love to meet some cedar key folks on here to just catch up and swap reports. I also have been getting the itch to explore some new territory in particular crystal river area. I will get a better handle on uploading pics and try to send my first report in soon. Till then tight lines.

    Be sure to check out the Gainesville Offshore Fishing Club -- http://GOFC.US (we have just as many inshore anglers as offshore). It's a great group!

    Thanks guys. I as well am always looking to get together with folks that love to fish. All my friends kind of enjoy getting on the water, but lack that passion for fishing and I am wide open to getting to know guys to go fishing with. I am a Carolina skiff guy as they seem to be one of the more versatile boats for our area. I am currently running a CS 21 DLV with a 115 h.p Suzuki. We just bought this boat after running the 198 v series for several years. Only problem is like I said it's hard to find folks to go with that actually are willing to participate in all facets of fishing. Everyone loves catching fish, but more recently I feel like a guide rather than fishing partner with my friends. In other words I find my self rigging the night before and setting up boat, then driving it over filling up the tank, buying the bait, fish for a bit then coming home and more times than not cleaning the boat myself. Wife is about my most reliable partner but being almost 7 months pregnant, she can't get out unless we mainly can just puts around on a very calm day. So pm me anytime to chat and potentially look to link up either as a dual boat gig, or swap trips.

    Yea, you most definitely need some new fishing buddies. I don't live in your area anymore, but used to. You will certainly meet some good folks on this forum, but you'll probably make them faster at gofc meetings. Welcome and good luck
    You should have been here yesterday

    Non boat owners seldom think about the rigging and boat "fondling" the night before and the cleaning and storing afterwards. I can elate to all the above, other than 7 month prgnant wife. At 71, she is not Sarah.

    Yeah I second the GOFC. I've learned a lot and fished with some great guys/girls from the club. Crystal river sucks this time of year though. Boat traffic is insane.

    I am heading to crystal river July 14th for a mainly scalloping trip with the family, but was hoping to get a few hours of fishing in. The only problem is, it seems like a hairy boat ride to get to descent red fish areas. Or at least that's what I've heard . A lot of hard bottom. Is it as difficult as advertised or reasonably easy to figure out?
