SHOW DESCRIPTION

While fishing, some signs of fish are more obvious than others. A bunch of busy seabirds or fish slashing bait on the surface, or maybe the all time favorite sign, a big square tail waving in your face like an “All You Can Eat” banner.

Tune into this weeks episode of Florida Sportsman TV to learn the not so obvious signs of fish--the subtle signs. On the west coast of Florida publisher Blair Wickstrom clues in on the white sand rings and adjacent oyster bars to catch redfish while editor David Conway dials in the offshore action…looking for blackfin tuna on the high seas.

On the Conservation Front: Karl Wickstrom looks at instruments you can use to help release fish back to the water and improve their survival rate...venting tools, dehookers, and circle hooks.
