any one do it here gigging? and what are the reg's for it along the beach or maybe the bay
i go flounderin sometimes. at least 12 " and i dont know the daily limit because ive never gotten more than 3 in one night.. other than that youre good i think
10 is the daily limit.
I looked into the reg's....thanks for the replies....looks like I will be gigging along the beach if I can stay awake long enough after fishing 12hrs. during the day :bang
a good mess of flounder would be nice to gig http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...c/thumbsup.gif http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...sc/letseat.gif
the light and battery is on the way....just made the gig this morning mounted on a telescopic pole
sister/brother in-law(nephew) will be down for a week I guess....so maybe I need to get a sand flea rake made too....put the bride to work catching some bait http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...isc/giggle.gif or nephew....the heck with those sea shells she looks for, and does nothing with....catch bait
Talked to one of the outstanding young men working at J&M last week. He told me of a guy who gigged a limit in about a 1 mile walk in the surf. Never done it myself, but looks like it's very do able!!!
I have a hard tme with any night time actvities while at GS . Fishing all day just drains me , especially if I'm up before dawn .
A friend has been doing very well over on Pensacola beach and in the bay when to windy ....almost limits or limits each trip....He is a seasoned veteran but I always like something new and looks like fun....and some good eats too
stuffed fresh flounder
a few of his recent pic's
.
still waiting on the gig light and battery....but I'll be ready to at least try....with the beach at the front door and a little effort(staying awake) I'll try for some flat fish,and maybe a blue crab or 2 .
light just got here,along with days of stress....it got lost in the mail and took the scenic route here....at least it got here and the battery too....so I am ready for the gigging along the beach....perviding I can stay away after dark thirty ....when my body says get horizontal...... I have had enough today
.
Don't forget the stingray shuffle!!chuckster
Where did ya get the light? I kinda like it!
ebay....75 shipped the long way to my door....glad I did this a little before our trip....and if not a month long, I would have never bought one.... and the battery too...I really am looking forward to do this ....and stick some fish

only got out once while there....I did hear of good reports on the beach, but not by me.....never saw the first one, till nature called and I had to go....
I did think of another use for the gigging light and battery....a after dark recovery light for deer hunting....a lot of times my kills or hits are right before dark, that I really hate hunting that time due to recovery issues and the dark in the woods....and flash lights just don't really do it in my woods....I know them well, but after dark it is way different....but that light I think will make things after dark a whole lot easier if needed and even once found to take care of the gutting with plenty of good light up in the woods
Well i hate you did not have success gigging but sounds like you had a good trip.

thanks for sharing and rubbing it in some more....my wife got a big kick out of me with my waders boots and backpack with the battery in it....she did say there was another person in our condo complex dressed the same way
