re: Anyone here ever fish Cabo?

i just got back--we fished with Strictly Business*. Awesome boat and crew, caught multiple marlin and Mahi. We had a group of 10 people on the boat, so the price was do-able, however it's a large boat (65ft i believe). Highly recommend them. *edited to correct name of specific boat...

re: Merriam turkey hunt suggestions

Posted by dpier16 on 4/17/24 at 9:20 am
If you go to Montana, stay on the East side of the continental divide. I travelled to Kalispell/Whitefish (northwest) to get a Merriam. Turns out, the State only started repopulating turkeys in the southeast corner of Montana back in the day. This pissed off a rancher who drove to SE US and ...

Gatortails have been the best all around ive been in. They haul a boat load of gear/people well. Only problem is you will have to pay for him to get the motor "built" as well. ($3-7k extra). Only problem is theyre like old cars, constantly dumping money and time into them. GoDevils are the most ...

Thats awesome. Turkeys make grown mean do bad things. Have you ever specifically hunted them? If not, I/someone else in this thread will more than happily come call for you and show you why we will let those 3yo bucks walk all day long. ...

re: MS Turkey opener

Posted by dpier16 on 3/15/24 at 10:25 am
Correct. Out of staters were to apply for a lottery/permit if they intended to hunt the first 15 days. If drawn, you then are allowed to access public ground before April 1. Absent the permit, welcome to the group sitting back waiting for April 1...

I will comply with the CURRENT regulations, size limits, and bag limits. Side note: I dont fish with a guide but would keep his limit too if I did. ...

re: ideal turkey hunting weather?

35degrees in morning--no clouds (for turkey hunting) or 65 degrees pouring down rain in a thunderstorm. (for turkey killing)...

re: Surface drive motors on Ar WMA's

Posted by dpier16 on 3/5/24 at 10:03 am
1,000% agree. Regarding Arkansas--the non stop running of gator tails with voodoos (etc) has completely changed how we hunt the White and other NWRs in the state. Birds act completely different now than they did years ago....

Camp Owners along Pass A Loutre-

Posted by dpier16 on 2/28/24 at 11:05 am
I have always been interested by these camps on North Side of Pass a Loutre and those by Harry's Pond. How did y'all get these camps? Have they been in the family for generations? Does the power line still run through to those camps and then down to Port Eads? Regardless, y'all have some awes...

Posted by dpier16 on 2/15/24 at 9:04 am
our 24ft is a dream. We fish deep in Biloxi Marsh/Chandys and then run out of Orange Beach to catch snapper in Summer. Have no complaints. Rides dry (unlike most Skeeters IMO). 10/10 would recommend. ...

Posted by dpier16 on 2/14/24 at 9:07 am
Best thing to plant is Chufa and that needs to be planted in the Fall. (FYI hogs usually destroy it during winter if you have any). As the above have said, the best thing to DO for turkeys/turkey numbers is to burn burn burn. ...

I got stopped twice Saturday--once in South Pass (pathfinder no T-top with 4 agents) and once in Baptiste (pathfinder with T-top with 2 agents). Glad to see them down there. Baptiste has been an no mans land for the last few years. ...

Posted by dpier16 on 11/13/23 at 10:54 am
I rode from Southeast Pass--to East Bay (all the way to Pilot town and across to Southwest)-- back up through Rapahel --into Main --and through to Baptiste. The only concentrations of ducks i saw were on the North Side of Baptiste and some close to river by baptiste. (which are the only two plac...
Rode from Baptiste through Delta Duck down to South Pass last weekend. Everything south of Main Pass looks rough, dead grass and plenty of gators with little to no birds. (plenty of specks and rat reds on south pass tho). 90% of the birds i saw were on Baptiste, but still nothing compared to yea...
