I strike up conversations with people I meet here in Florida at the local tackle shops, Walmart, Bass Pro......

This is how you learn new things about the local fishing.

I met a younger guy the other night in the sporting good / fishing tackle section at our Walmart in Sebastian, Florida.

I just asked him if he has been out lately.

This started a long conversation with him and another guy joined in.

He has a 14' Jon boat, and uses a throw net to catch bait and pitches live Mullet to Tarpon and Snook in the Sebastian River.

On his smart phone he showed me a 20# Tarpon and a 15# Snook he had caught recently.
