Was rammed by a sizeable Bull one night at Simmons. I was wading at the time and it came up behind me as I let a small Trout go. Never saw or heard it till it knocked the crap out of my left leg. Didn't poop my pants, but I did decide to fish from the kayak for the remainder of the evening. Lesson? ...

Just saw the post. Glad to hear everything's okay.

Not a fan of wire either. The heavier line is just fine, The trick is, use the cheapest peice of crap lure you have in your tackle box. (As long as it's shiny and makes noise)Make sure you simply make sure you replace the rusty hooks with 4x bleeding hooks and look for the birds busting bait. Chunk ...

I'm just glad that Columbia started making longer shorts.. I almost couldn't post that picture with the Snook!

Here are a couple more. And yes, I still have that ugly A$$ Kayak!

Yeah, I remember the days when I used to brave the pre-front conditions in order to fish for a little while. Until the day the lightning hit the water next to the little mangrove island I was tucked under. :shock: :shaking2: It jolted the crap out of me and I went through some really wild convulsion...

It's now 7:15 a.m. and there is a strong line of thundershowers moving through most of Tampa Bay and South. I really hope SRQ didn't man-up and brave this crap! OOPS! Coffee's done and the toaster oven just went "DING". STRUUDEEELLLLL!!!

I found another picture with Jon in it after a long day of poling that canoe. I'll post 'em as I retreive and edit them.

Good Times.

It'll be raining early in the A.M. SRQ. Rain gone by mid-morning to Noon. Then the winds get REEEAALLY brisk!

Is that what that was??!! I thought one of the big Cat front end loaders on Boyette fell in that big ditch they've been playin' in!

During my present marital situation, I have found myself going through ALOT of old stuff I have not seen in YEARS! I found some old Kodak Picture CD's and ran across some pics of one of the Osprey Fishing Tourneys. I think this is from the 3rd annual back in 03... I Think!

Found a New/Old place I used to fish YEARS ago on Monday. Great spot for those North winds and ended up with a 23 inch Trout for Din-Din. Hit a couple of Snook as well and one was in the slot fer sure.. Oh well, the trout was quite Tastee! :wink: I think it might be within reach of the next tourney ...

Still got a Tarpon 160 in my garage I wanna get rid of!

I had cut way back on drinking a while back (for the wife) and finally decided to quit altogether and get back to Church. My wife packed up the kids and left me because I USED to drink too much! And she took the last bottle of wine with her!!

I use a Bleeding hook which is coated and not stainless, so if you do get in that position, cut the hook off as close as you can to the barb without harming the fish and the rest of the hook will simply rust out in a very short time. Oh yeah, crimp the barbs. I don't think anybody even mentioned tha...

I've seen kayaks being towed at higher speeds with NOONE in them and they do okay. But the slighest move from you sitting in the kayak at higher speeds will be on AFV by the end of the month. Your rods won't fair very well either. Someone can hold the kayak steady while you get in and out of it from...
