Headed back to the Gulf yesterday to expand my tablefare availability with the allowed appropriately tagged/floated crab pots(5) baited with trout discards from freezer. Also, had an urge for an oyster platter/stew/fritters/half-shell/Rockefeller, so I hit some of my spots along the way to arch up the ol' light wt. spinning gear. As the Patriots said late Sunday night..."it just doesn't get any better than this!" All went extremely well with the trout take as well as a fat Pompano, rat reds, sea bass etc., but the expanded menu was the "Super BOWL ticket" I was hoping for-

Even saw my 1st tagged Manatee equipped with a radio transmitter antenna attached to a white 8" ball float with ID # annotated with about 15' of paracord attached. Wish I had thought about a camera shot
