Aside from the [apparent] fact that you are trying to boat from a

you are making a specious argument.


Well, I was able to do it nicely for over 20 years.


Looking at the global economy, all
prime weather, boating, and fishing locations are becoming very
expensive... it is the law of supply and demand.


But the Florida keys have become another Aspen. A place
for the rich and famous. Too rich for my blood.


In all truth, if you aren't catching fish in FL waters, you need to
hire a guide and see what you are doing wrong.


I caught plenty of fish in my days there, but what I am remarking on
is the decline of fishing. Florida Bay is suffering from pollution and
overfishing.


And if you support Skipper, perhaps you'd like to lend some validity
to his unsupported generalization, "the best fishing is now found on
the West Coast and Pacific waters," with some facts.


Don't support his conclusions, but accept the fact that Florida ain't
what it used to be.


Some folks just can't handle the truth, Sherwindu. Gene and Harry are
classic examples. Sad.
