Sunday 4/6

After a week of house chores, I was able to get on the water Sunday. Got out around 10:30am partly because of the tide and partly because of a party the night before. The wind was pretty stuff but we fought through it. After a slow rest of the morning the bite picked up when the tide came in around ...

Re: Kayak for Coop Head Count.

Just an update about Cooper. He had his first MRI this week and the preliminary report is in. “The tumor has improved in all aspects: size, shape, color, and vascularity!” He is still fighting a long battle but this was some of the best news the family could have received. They wanted to thank every...

Re: PFTS Kayak for Coop - throw me a bone...

You can launch at ken Thompson park or just north of the new pass bridge on the west side...there are plenty of areas to fish within paddling distance and both within Sarasota

Re: FIRST SOLO TRIP

Not to call anyone out on mistakes but I thought I heard a similar story at the last PFTS....UMP608 do you remember someone telling that story?
It's such a crappy feeling when you finally realize your mistake

Re: Just Starting
