Gulf of Mexico

Made a right turn out of Venice Inlet yesterday, and headed to some reefs up in the Sarasota area in search of Kingfish. Found plenty of life with pods of Blue runner’s which we live lined, and slow trolled. Had a couple nice ones on, but they managed their escape. Lot’s of Spanish Mackerel, and one 250-300 Bull Shark which beat me up pretty good. The highlight of the day was an enormous Cobia my brother had on. It made several spectacular jumps before earning its freedom. Nothing for the table, but kept some fish for use as baits on future trips, including this stinking Barracuda.

Nice trip!Hope you get out….. one question though……….. where is this “gulf of america” place?? 😂
Was supposed to get down to St James City in January and fish inshore with a good friend. He was going to line up another friend to get us out in the Gulf of America for a trip but now all is up in the air with a knee rehab.

Hope you get out….. one question though……….. where is this “gulf of america” place?? 😂Questions like that are frightening. Inexperienced boaters/anglers are the main cause of injuries and death on the water. I will give you a general education.

nothing for table fare, SPANISH MACKEREL are delicious.???Wrong again, and on many levels…….
its the GULF of AMERICA, body of water surrounds the larger part of the United States than Mexico... cell...
.
Level one…….. The U.S has approximately 1,631 miles of coastline of the Gulf of Mexico……… Mexico has approximately 1,743 miles of coastline of the Gulf of Mexico.
Level two will explain to you how international bodies of water are named…….
- National governments: have the power to name the bodies of water within their borders or contiguous with their shorelines. They can also pass legislation to change or standardize names within their own jurisdiction, though this may not have an immediate international impact.
- For example, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) is the U.S. federal authority for standardizing geographic names for federal use.
- UNGEGN: deals with the national and international standardization of geographical names, but its recommendations are not legally binding.
- The IHO promotes the standardization of nautical charts and publications. Its publication, Limits of Oceans and Seas, has historically influenced naming conventions, but its recommendations can also be contentious.
- For naming undersea features, the GEBCO Sub-Committee on Undersea Feature Names (SCUFN) is responsible for defining nomenclature for features in international waters.
- A country may first enact a national policy to rename a body of water.
- To achieve international recognition, the country must then coordinate with international bodies like the UNGEGN and IHO.
- It is also necessary to secure diplomatic agreements with other countries that border the body of water.
- A name becomes internationally accepted through a combination of these efforts, with widespread use by international organizations, mapping services, and media outlets being key.
Trump has as much right to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, as he does to change the names of the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. Which is, no right to.

Not the President, N.O.A.A., or the Federal Register have the authority to change the name of an INTERNATIONAL BODY OF WATER.
They only have the authority to change the name of what the United States wants to call it, not the rest of the world.

Fished the Gulf of Mexico today with my brother, and a neighbor. The plan was to head out to some deep water but thick fog had delayed our start, and slowed down our travel when we finally did shove off. We switched to plan B which was a short of our orignal intended destination. Red Grouper was our primary targeted species, and we had a fair amount of shorts, including a short Cobia. My brother did manage a nice keeper on a jig, and he did battle with a large model taxman. The day was a bit of a hack, but still nice to be out in the Gulf Of Mexico instead of the 16 degree temperatures I left in NY several days ago.
