About Yourself
Florida native living in Cortez, FL. I Like all kinds of fishing, mostly saltwater... inshore and offshore. Any day in the boat on the water is just fine with me :)
Favorite species
Eating: Snook, Cobia, Redfish, Grouper, Trout
For challenge and fight: Snook, Tarpon
For cruising and drinking beer: Kingfish, Dolphin, Mackerel...
Most Memorable Fish
50" Bull Red Drum off of the beach in Melbourne at 3:00AM. We were fishing for tarpon and were catching a lot of nurse sharks that night. We heard the clicking of the Penn reel and when I got to the pole it seemed like there was nothing there. So I thought I would bring it up to check my bait and all of the sudden the line started ripping out... he must have been running at me. After about 30 minutes I landed a fish that was so big I didn't even recognize it at first.
Dream Fishing Trip
Offshore in Hawaii
Best excuse you ever told someone to go fishing
No excuse needed... Just go for it

Yeah, we missed last week's trout. We took a vacation through last weekend, and then worked our tails off to catch up last week at work. We'll be giving it a little effort this weekend for sure. Hopefully those big reds will cooperate this week - they sure do like to make the heart skip a beat.

Caught another 4 keepers tonight and added a whole 1/4" to my length. Great night on the water... 4 days to go... Good luck to all!

Yesterday 4 keepers... An absolutely perfect evening on the bay. Today with the wind blowing 20mph and raining it was a different story... nothing but Ladyfish and a Hard Head (catfish) All I needed was a Jack and I would have gotten the Trashcan Slam But I was ON THE WATER Maybe tomorrow.... Thanks for the Welcome!
