Talking about cca and conservation and throws croaker…Great bait. But should be a game fish.

[@JoseGarcia-co8gi]

Are you using a Texas rattlin

[@Coastal_Rootz_Fishing]

Yup

[@padre4306]

I have never understood All the people who feel they have to reel a fish in so fast that it can’t even swim and just skips along the surface on its side !? Why not just enjoy the fight and relax? What’s the hurry and desperation all about? That reminds me of commercial Tuna fishermen just yanking the Tuna into the boat for a living and seems like No Fun At All !

[@Coastal_Rootz_Fishing]

It's just excitement that's all lol

[@miket9544]

Maybe to avoid getting it took by a shark

[@jlotto1814]

When I’m fishing for specks I always reel them in fast, so I can cast right back out there. With specks they move in schools and often. So the bite might be hot for 2 to 30 minutes, or longer, and then it shuts off. So I try to get as many casts as I can. Also if you’re near sharks, they like fish too lol.

[@Coastal_Rootz_Fishing]

A lot of times they are swimming right at you also so you have to keep up or you can lose them
