| The transition from the Matanzas River to the Halifax River |
Q & A: Jacob sec. 65. Are there any differences in the Volusia and Flagler water environments that might impact the number of fish you catch. For example, does one area have more mangroves than the other?
Thank you, Jacob, for your question. I have been fishing the North end of Volusia (specifically in and near the Tomoka Basin), and in different areas of Flagler County. Both areas are pretty similar environments, so I don't think the water environments alone are enough to effect the number of fish I catch. I have been fishing in salt marshes, which are visibly very similar in both counties. In fact, the water bodies that I fish for red drum in Flagler county are connected to or in the Matanzas River which then turns into the Halifax River. Great question!

| Red Drum |
Unfortunately, so far I have not had much luck on my seek for red drum. I had went fishing with my uncle and two cousins last weekend. We caught nothing but some craps, and my uncle catching rocks or oyster beds (he swore a fish was biting his line). We were fishing from the banks at a very popular spot in Flagler county under the toll bridge. This spot has pretty much been overfished for years. So catching any fish there is very difficult for anyone. No one around us in the surrounding area had any luck either. It was a bad choice of spot- but that's what I get for listening to my uncle and going where he wanted. I learned my lesson. Listening to someone who doesn't even know how to set up a fishing pole- about anything to do with fishing- is a
bad idea. Plus taking a twelve and a seven year old fishing, is difficult because they have no patience, especially when they aren't catching anything. Better luck next time.
Jeff sec. 50. What will you do if you don't catch any red drum and what does that tell you about the fact that you weren't able to catch anything and the current regulations?
