That will do it every time!

My nephew was visiting from Michigan over the weekend and wanted to go
fishing so we went down to the local bait and tackle store and bought
him a light weight spinning outfit and some live shrimp. He was
catching small (throw back) Snappers off of our dock within minutes of
starting. Talk about beginners luck.


Live shrimp certainly was a bait of choice for inshore and ICW fishing
when we lived in Florida. Used to be able to buy a dozen really
nice-sized shrimp for a $1.25 at many local bait shops if you didn't
feel like cast-netting for bait.

I've caught reds, flounder, catfish, sharks, snappers, whiting (one of
my favorite fish to eat) and, in fact, just about anything fishy that
swims in Florida waters on live shrimp.

Used to have some pretty interesting "shrimp runs" on the St. Johns
River near a place called Doctors Lake. Might be 100 small boats out
there during the runs, bringing in nets full of shrimp to take home
and eat.



I've caught a lot of fish in FL but never a whiting. I've never heard
of anyone catching them either. Do they live in brackish water? I
remember them in the store years ago smoked and ready to eat.

You missed Grouper. That is one of the best reef fish.

Got out on the boat this past weekend for the last time this year.
Caught no fish, possibly because we just rode around and brought no
bait.

Saw a boat I wouldn't mind having, a Hunt 29. Deep vee, nicely
finished and looks fast.

On Saturday I jacked up the axle of my Princecraft so I could put blocks
beneath the rear trailer frame.
Now the weight is off the springs and wheels.
Today I ran some Sta-Bil enhanced gas through the 25 hp Johnson while
spraying fogging oil in the carb.
Next I removed the sparkplugs and sprayed the fogging oil there plus
over the metal parts under the cowling.
I found my gear oil container nearly empty.... but I drained the old out
and pumped the container dry replenishing it.
I was a few ounces short but I'll wait until spring before topping up
the last bit.
Tomorrow I'll take the summer cover off, remove the battery and put the
winter tarps on.


For boaters, winter up north...sux! :)

I've got my winter outdoor project ahead of me: I hope to start
building my deck about the second week of December and finish it up
before the New Year.

The concrete is supposed to be poured on either Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday, depending on the weather. I'll seriously consider playing with
my carpentry tools in early December. My decking lumber (the Ipe, not
the structural lumber) is supposed to be delivered about the first
week of December. Weather permitting, I'll have the structure up just
before the first of the year. Maybe.

Fortunately, I have room in the garage to stack and store the lumber,
so "shrinkage" will not be a problem.
Are you hoping to finish it before the New Year or are you going to have
the structure up, weather permitting, before the first of the year?
This is beginning to "sound" suspicious.

Why do you think lumber that would shrink outside wouldn't shrink in
your garage? Treated lumber shrinks - always. KDAT will help but it
will still shrink.

It's none of my business but why don't you store the lumber in the
environment it will be used in?


Normally. It's called acclimation.

Down here in SWFL we catch them 20 to 30 miles offshore in water 100
ft deep. I prefer not to eat reef fish, not worth the risk of
Ciguatera.

"Shrinkage" is a term used in retail business, it refers to pilferage.

Barracuda are well known for that disease. Snapper and grouper are
served in restaurants all over the world and they aren't farm raised. I
doubt the flesh is tested.

I've heard the term in that context but he's in a rural area, right?

You are defining the word properly. I'm not really worried about theft,
although in this day and age, anything is possible. By stacking the wood
in my garage, though, it remains dry and secure. I suppose I could pull
a tarp over the wood to keep the snow off it, if it snows, but that's a
pain in the ass. It's easier to work with these materials if they are
clean and dry.

Some of the materials I ordered are fairly expensive, relative to the
other materials.

If it is cold out, make sure you put large spaces between the boards when
installing. Look at the install notes regards temperature.
