Okay gents,
I have decided to give up on turkey hunting and start back to fishing....I am by no means new to fishing but am somewhat new to saltwater fishing.
I have taken some trips to Keaton and Steinhatchee with friends and the occasional offshore guide excursion but other than that I have no knowledge of saltwater fishing other than it's a lot of fun and it will surely be more fun than wandering around listening for turkeys that do not exist anymore.
Anyway, my question is: What would be considered the smallest size boat to take the occasional trip to the deeper water for some snapper, grouper and such? Most of my fishing will be in the grass flats for trout, redfish and flounder but the ability to venture out on occasion would be nice.
PS- I know a lot has to do with water conditions so just give me your opinions on perfect conditions....I would not want to venture out in bad seas anyway
Thanks in advance!!!
