    I need to do that, then get all my boys and crew to. Damn sharks.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Got mine last year. Think you have to have a Florida fishing license right?

    They didn't ask me for one, although I have one.

    Used my Louisiana license number to get one for my peeps.
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    Thankx JABIII

    Also SCDNR requirements:
    - having the descending device/weight ready to be used.
    - specific hooks
    - dehooking tool


    from their website:

    Descending Device
    A descending device must be on board any recreational, for hire, and commercial vessel fishing for or possessing snapper grouper species and is required to be readily available.
    To be considered readily available, this device must be attached to a minimum of 16 oz of weight and 60 feet of line.
    A descending device still in the package or in the console does not qualify as readily available. Getting fish back to depth quickly is key to their survival.

    Non-Offset Circle Hooks
    Non-offset, non-stainless steel circle hooks must be used when fishing for South Atlantic snapper grouper with hook-and-line gear and natural baits north of 28° N latitude.

    Dehooking Tool
    At least one dehooking device is required and must be used as needed to remove hooks embedded in South Atlantic snapper grouper with minimum damage.
    The hook removal device must be constructed to allow the hook to be secured and the barb shielded without re-engaging during the removal process.
    The dehooking end must be blunt, and all edges rounded. The device must be of a size appropriate to secure the range of hook sizes and styles used in the South Atlantic snapper grouper fishery.

    Thanks for that D. I wouldn't have taken it out of the box. I have the right hooks, but no dehooking thing. Will get on that.

    Let's go chase some wahoo this fall...
