FISHING SEASON 2K13!!!!!!

[Andrew1002]

Please elaborate. There are springfed lakes that I love to fish in central florida that have 3 different types of catfish, shiners, LMB, SMB, pickerel, gar, crappie, and 4 different types of sunfish/bluegill as well as carp (pretty sure grass carp).

The only nuisance fish in that ecosystem is the tilapia. Because they are known to attack but not eat the other fish's nests, and they are mouth brooders. Meaning that they harbor their young themselves in their mouth to give their species a winning edge as they drive out the competition by breeding them out.

Correction to this- carp are also a nuisance fish and an invasive species.
And if you want to get technical, lmb are also an invasive species that does not originate in america. Im pretty sure that goes for smallmouth too.

Well if you are catching tilapia, green sunfish, bullheads, carps and plenty of mosquitofish suggests that this area holds hardy, tolerant and undesireable fish which means the habitat isn't good for sensitive, rare and desireable fish.

A nuisance fish means a fish that is too small or unacceptable or bothersome to the anglers. Green sunfish, bullheads and carps fit this.

Actually LMB and SMB are native to the Americas...just not native to the western United States.

It is impossible to fix a problem with just a cast net.

one man's nuisance fish is another mans treasure. I love me a green sunfish for flathead bait and bullheads around here at least are a sign of a healthy body of water and they do a hell of a job of scavenging and keeping things clean.

and they are only ones that can survive dirtest and pollutated waters......so technically it's other way.

Just because they can survive it doesn't mean that all water they're in is dirty. I didn't say that an infestation of them is healthy lol.

went on the headboat and had a decent day. got some nice seabass grunts and a pair of quality porgies and my buddy got his first ever keeper grouper. There was no current so the captain decided against anchoring and struggled mightily to keep us on the marks, you'd get one good drop to get hit and by the time you'd rebaited and dropped back down you were off the mark. My new Fathom 25N performed flawlessly but I ended up stuck next to a complete idiot and I spent large portions of my day untangling lines. No grouper for me this time around again. I gotta get one eventually. As flat as it was I imagined we'd hit some deep holes but we fished 90-110ft hardbottom the whole day. No red grouper landed on the whole boat and very few vermillions.
