Re: Sarasota Vamo Launch

I would like to know how much $ was spent on this mess. It will be great to see a picture of it in April or May.

Re: So - which one of you is still for oil drilling in the G

I don't know why this wasn't done decades ago in preparation for something like this.
Congress was too busy with things like dress stains and baseball players using drugs to deal with this piddly stuff.

Re: So - which one of you is still for oil drilling in the G

Rather than paint all drilling as bad, let's look at some facts. BP did not follow best business practices. This does not mean ALL drilling is bad. It just means BP did a crappy job. Halliburton tried to shut them down but BP over rode their objections and kept pulling mud out of the well head. In t...

Another way to get into peoples pockets. I really wouldn't mind it if the money went into our fisheries and habitat, but that's not too likely right now.

Here is a poor picture of the one I built for my Big Game. Being that I'm old and not very agile, I needed a holder that was easy to get the rod out of. I hate looking like a contorsionist try to get my poles.

I flipped that thing off just once. I wanted to let some line out to troll with a top water so I figured that it would just go out slowly. As I put the rod in the Scotty I got a HUGE hit from a catfish. The handle came around and hit the side bone in my wrist. Not once, but two or three times. I saw...

Is this a 15 or a 13? It is a touch longer than my Prowler13, but it is classified at 13 feet. I must say the more I use this boat the better I like it. It is very stable running the wakes from the big boats in the Intracostal Waterway and isn't the barge that people make it out to be. I weigh in a...

I got mine new with only two surface mount rod holders and seat for $799 last month at Silent Sports in Osprey. That also included 25% off a padle and a $25 gift certificate.

If I'm in the mood to eat fish, I take them home. If I'm not, I don't. That's how I always have done it.

If I could get all my lures back out of the trees along the Myakka River, I would have 3 lifetimes worth. :?

Other: "That fish was a hog".

Unless you're fishing on a farm, I doubt you will catch a hog. A Hog Fish - maybe. :wink:
