Back waters won't be bad if the rain stays away. Won't know if you don't go.

I would probably go anyway, but if I go and it turns out to be a flop I have about a 130 miles to drive back to the house. That is the only reason I have to be a little more choosey about the conditons. I wish I had a weekend getaway place closer to the "Killin Grounds"!!! Then I would be in business.

Have you ever figured out how much $$$$$ per pound your flounder fillets turn out to be after a night of gigging?????

Have you ever figured out how much $$$$$ per pound your flounder fillets turn out to be after a night of gigging????? After I fuel the truck up with diesel (34 gallons) and the boat (12 gallons) and the generator and spare can which is another (3 gallons) it starts to add up. The last trip I made to yalls neck of the woods cost me about 140$. This is not including what groceries were eat up on the expedition. If I am fishing in Florida with a 20 fish limit they will cost me about 8$ a fish. This is assuming that I get a limit. I like to fish in Florida don't get me wrong but when the conditions are right I like to go a little further west across the line where there isn't a limit because at today's gas prices it takes around 60 lbs of fish just for me to break even. This is sad to say because sometimes it starts to feel more like a job than a hobby. When it gets to that point you can no longer enjoy it.

I live in Pensacola Florida. A lot of the waters we fish here are seperated down the middle. One side of the Bay is Florida and the other side of the Bay is Alabama. In Florida we have a 10 per person 12 inch limit. Just across the other side of the Bay on the alabama side there is no limit but they have to be 12 inches. If I being a Florida resident launch my boat in Florida and head to Alabama by boat to gig I have to honor Florida law. It would be hard to explain to the man if you pulled up at the Fl launch with 2 people in the boat and have 40 flounder and try and get him to believe you really gigged the fish in Alabama waters. Just this year we started having to purchase saltwater Ala fishing license. There license used to be considered rod and reel license. I didnt need a Ala license to gig flounder in Ala but if I were to catch one on a hook and line you did. Crazy.... I guess all good things come to an end.

Now I didn't know it was that way before. I always had a lic. It was true. Every year I would call the Al fish commision just to be sure it hadnt changed. They would always say that they had no law on the books for gigging flounder. Only if I were using rod and reel would I need a licence. But this year it changed from a rod and reel license to a saltwater license and now covers gigging.
