[fishin] you always hear the fishing reports about catching certain fish in certain depths but are not told how far you have to go to reach that depth. so for instance: [#4040ff]How far do you have to go out of Clearwater, Florida to reach a depth of 100 ft?[/#4040ff]

When I go to a new area to fish, how can I determine the most likely places to put lines in to catch fish, particularly in the backcountry?
A) Go to Google Earth, and scout the area for creeks, deep holes, grass beds, sand flats and shoals.
B) Ask the folks in the local bait shop.
C) Hire a guide and tell him you want him to educate you on the area.
D) Apply what you know about prospectvie spots from your home waters to the new area.
E) Get a tide chart for the new area.
F) All of teh above

I can't keep up with the fishing regulations, how about you? Is there a way we can limit the changes, or a way to inform people with valid licenses of the changes. I don't mind if there is a small increase in the cost of licensing if we can get an email or something that tells us about the New Regulations.

what must liscenced anglers have aboard there boat while gulf fishing?
1.circle hooks as apposed to j hooks. [circle hooks allow a more constant lip hook rather than the more common stomache or esophagus hook with a j hook]
2. [#000000]dehooker [the dehooker allows for a safe removal of a hook ensuring a greater survival rate of released fish][/#000000]
3.[#000000] venting tool [Reef fish taken from depths of 50 feet or more may need to be de vented. they
may undergo expansion of the gases in the swim
bladder as they are brought to the surface. Signs of
this condition are protrusion of the stomach from its
mouth, bulging eyes and a bloated belly. Proper use
of a venting tool will help the fish survive by allowing
it to safely return to the bottom.
Deflation of a bloated Gulf reef fish must be done
with the venting tool by inserting the needle into the
body cavity at a 45-degree angle under a scale in an
area approximately 1 to 2 inches behind the base
of the pectoral fin just deep enough to release the
trapped gas and to release the fish with minimum
damage.
If the stomach is protruding from the mouth, don’t
puncture it or try to put it back into the mouth. It will
return to its normal location following the release of a
properly vented fish.[/#000000]
