It's great to hear you're headed out of Keys waters

Not to worry Wilbur, we'll be back in the fall. *The fishing and
overall ambience are just too good in the Keys. *If I see any small
yellow sailboats with broken down owners I'll be sure to say hello.

By the way, you don't know anything about refrigeration.

Look for the **** yellow boat surrounded by a fecal reef. Make sure it
has a busted boom and crusty bouy chain .
To be sure Nellie's aboard listen for the commanding screams of a
cuban woman calling him " douch bag."

On to an interersting topic:
I'm not sure anything hunts the Mahi Mahi, might have been a tuna
after the same food the Mahi's were after.
Have a picture on-line? I'd like to see it. How big? What kinds of
lures? Speed?

The ones that we caught souuth of the Keys were mid-size females about
36 inches long and maybe 10 pounds or so. Small compared to the ones
we were catching last year down in the islands. We caught a couple
more closer to Miami that were even smaller, less than 8 lbs by my
estimate, but very delicious.

All but one were caught on pink and white Rattlejet lures while
trolling at about 8 knots. The Rattlejets are far and away the most
effective lure I've ever used, definitely a fish magnet.
Unfortunately barracuda like them also.

Joe's old, rotten, wooden Owens won't go over four knots without all the
seams opening up because of the mushy frames so those lures will be mostly
ineffective for him. Besides, he never gets anywhere near the Gulf Stream.
His boats seem to founder within a couple hundred miles of his home port of
Houston.

Maybe true, but 4 knots 4 knots faster then the yellow mooring buoy.

FYI, I went sailing just last week for three while days away from the home
port. Got all the way down to Key West and back. And you?

I bet there'll be nothing but crickets chirping. LOL.

A proverbial odyssey. But, given your propensity for making wild
claims I'm not too sure that this tale is believable. Can you prove
that this is true? Or is it to be like the lessons in electricity....
total BS?

Neal..I spent the weekend offshore rig fishing. Caught my limit of Red
Snapper and a couple of Lings. My wooden hull Owens will do 18 knots
at half throttle. Flying off 5 ft waves and slamming off the next wave
is no problem, just as long as the 42" flat screen in the main salon
is secured properly.

You still crapping in a bucket?
