VALUED MEMBER...

I sleep better at night knowing TRT has my back.

Yep

  If we don't get a little more drama around here, we're screwed. 

TRT! Yeah Baby!!!

Where is bacon?

I think Bacon is Gay...
Caught AIDS from one of them Island Lady Boies and died a terrible Death in a hammock under the Nanner trees in some far of Island sweat hole.
Shaman most likely Pissed on him and told him he's cured and get the hell out of the village.
That's kinda what I'm thinkin...

Why are the stars different colors?

Good, and accurate comment. I did get a little miffed a while back, regarding the forum, but I get that way sometimes. Evidently I needed scolding, more than I thought I needed, in terms of my forum behavior.

You know she's older than both of us, a Chamberlain girl, too. You'd like her. Total redneck, Lutz, and 4th generation FL girl, fishes, hunts, and no makeup. She's tied up with her daughter's wedding for another couple months, so I wont see her for a while. She worked with me, so I know her character pretty well.

I moved back to the mainland here, but kept my rental on the island. Gonna build a house here close the the river outfall. Got a 26' skiff, center console, to fish the mouth of the river, and a ways up the river. Snook and tarpon city.

The snook are giant. 15-30 lbs, and some bigger. They bite, all the time, constantly. Bait doesn't matter, live, dead, big or small. The tarpon are a nuisance to me, but they are non-stop too.

There is some type of snapper, although I don't know the proper name for them, a cross between a mangrove and a mutton, but lighter in color with no spots. They are excellent eating, of course, although I've eaten them grilled, I prefer them raw, with soy sauce and lime.

I'm convinced there are record snook here, line test records, which I'm going to pursue, am pursuing. I don't even know the current records, but I'm sure eventually I can land a 40lb+ on 8lb test. Or better. Not a lot of snags to lose them on. I have a couple of locals who go with me, and can handle the boat, if im fighting a fish. I've seen several snook, that have to be pushing 50 lbs, they seem to be resident fish, that don't stray from the food that pours down the river to the bay.

Back to reality, land prices have more than doubled in two years, and construction costs have close to tripled. Just insanity. And I'm from the beach in SWFL! So I have to figure that out. I have a couple lots, but not where I want to live. I can sell them now for double, or more. Just trying to nail down my homestead to come, get a deal, if possible.

I will quit rambling. Tight lines.
