Atlanta Saltwater Club

[Capt Cefus]

I was the guest speaker at the Atlanta Saltwater Club this week.  This club is one of the biggest saltwater clubs in America, and it's 4 hours from the salt!

 They asked me to do a presentation on fishing for bottom species in the Gulf.   (They have a tournament coming up in May down in Apalachicola.)

My first thought was "What could I possibly show or tell these folks about offshore fishing that they don't already know?"    So, I dug back in my memory banks and came up with a few tips they could add to their bag of tricks for the future.   

I'll be including some of them in this week's e-newsletter.    If you ain't getting the newsletter, you can sign up for free on the Nuts & Bolts website home page.

Great group of people.   Very knowledgeable.   And, I was actually able to impart some information they thought was valuable to them.  That definitely made me feel good afterwards.   It's not too rewarding to give a speech and everyone listening feels like they've heard it before.  In this case, I had a great audience, and hopefully gave them some nuggets of info they can benefit from out on the water.

Way to go. If I had to reach way back into my memory, I would still be searching.

Huh? Who are you people? Do I know you?

The best thing would be where do you get the most current information on closures. Fish are easy to predict compaired to government.

[Capt Cefus]

You got that right Bakerman.    Closure regs are still 'nebulous' as best.   I'm getting conflicting info on a daily basis.
