Long shot here but who knows
New member on vacation right now and really want to go fishing... We are from tennessee. I grew up in Florida and fished everything, reds my favorite... I'd love to just get her out on water but honestly we can't afford the $100 an hour trips... If there is a local member that wouldnt
Mind carrying us that would be awesome.. I don't mind paying for gas and time or whatever but got to be reasonable.. Tomorrow would be ideal 25th (our anniversary actually) or later today.. We are heading back early Thursday.... We are a young couple if that matters to anyone
I could also also offer a trade of a middle tennessee deer hunt for a couple days any time, any weapon on private land! Last year a 120 9 point I killed opening day of bow and year before a juvenile I was sitting with killed a 130" 9 point on a differnt place
please text or call if you can help.... 9317032761...... We don't expect to catch world records, just like to go and hopefully catch something

Lefty---Welcome to the forum and I wish you good luck with your fishing, BUT if you give the boat owner/operator any consideration at all, including gas or a hunting trip, it is considered (by the Coast Guard) to be "for hire" and the boat owner/operator is required to have a license to to carry passengers.
Check with the different charter services and see if you can get in with another party to defray expenses---way less than $100 per hr. Even one of the head boats might be fun---I haven't been on one, so can't speak from experience, but with all the snapper in the Gulf, you'll probably catch some, even if you can't keep them.
Again, good fishing.

Guy just had a big king on and lost it when they were trying to get it up... Pretty cool
I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
