Great report! I’m glad to see a positive one. I just got some tags and plan on doing some next month. I’m excited about it as I have never done it.

If you want to fish fresh water, Lake Boeuf and Lake Fields are both good. Both have good public launches. The Socolait are full of eggs and that’s when they are the easiest to find. They get up in the cut grass on the bank and make nests. All you have to do is troll along and jig for them 1 ft off the grass or less. (Photo is to show the cut grass) It’s alot of fun! I’m going later in the week. Let me know if you want more info!

Nice report! Did you see any dead ones out there?
-
Thank you for the great report! All of these reports of dead fish really takes the wind out of all of our sails man. I know exactly what you mean about seeing all that and it killing your spirits…it literally made me pack up and go home. It was an eerie and sick feeling.

Thanks! I picked it up for $109. Can’t wait to start practicing! This year I’m working on the 10%. I’m making sure I dedicate the right combos for each technique. 2025 is the year of fine tuning for me.

This is sad to hear but I don’t think it is far off. I hope they do something with the limits really soon. Meanwhile, I’ll mostly fish fresh water.

When I pull it up on GED, I get this white spot. Can anyone help? See attached screenshot..
-
I can definitely see that! Is there a rhyme or reason to which ones you tag and don’t tag? I get why you didn’t on this one but I mean more on a regular basis.

I’m always down! I love to fish…all kinds of fishing. Socolait are prob my favorite to catch and definitely my favorite to eat!
-
We can still harvest socolait while we let the marsh heal!
-
I really hate to see this but this is the reality we are facing. I really hope they do some limit changes and let the population recover.

These guys will drive you crazy on sonar! I thought that getting a forward facing sonar would save time fishing for them but it did the opposite. Now i wase more time on non biting fish because I know they are there 😂. I’ve seen 50+ fish on a brush pile dropped 10 different color baits on the fish’s head including a live minnow and they just ignore it. My favorite way to fish them is during spawn when they are up in the cut grass and you can’t see them on sonar at all and that’s when I really go after them. It reminds me of simpler times when I was a kid fishing every canal I could walk to for perch.
