Heading to Panacea Fl, in 7 and a wake-up. I head down there twice a year and hit the gulf for the Spanish, lady's, reds, specs and what ever else I can catch! I here some good reports from down that way so far. I never buy bait, I have alittle spot of some protective water where I can catch all the finger mullet, pin fish and gulf shrimp I can handle. Castnet does wonders!
