I saw one little thread and it was discussing the winter weather.
Slim pickings. |

I did manage a few days of fishing recently down in Florida, where, while we were there, the weather was pretty nice. Got to Disneyworld, too. I'm looking forward to April. |

Many of us would be interested in what kind of bait/lures that you used, whether you were trolling or chunking, that sort of thing. |

My bait? I think you know... The fish I caught? Righties, conservatrash, racists, etc. |

I'll post those sorts of photos here once the assholes who are hell bent on taking the newsgroup back to the bad old days either quit or move on. Until then, it isn't worth the bit of effort it takes. To respond "verbally," as it were, the day we went fishing in the ICW and its creeks, we used 5' Ugly Sticks, Penn 4200 and 4300 spinning reels, 6# braided line, and quarter-ounce jigs baited with live shrimp. I also tossed a few plastics and several varieties from D.O.A. The boat was a Carolina Skiff powered by a Honda outboard. The day we went offshore, we were on a pretty, fairly new 30' Luhrs and used live baitfish for trolling and for bottom fishing. The trolling rigs were simple wire rigs, with separated treble hooks, the sort of rig you use for kingfish. We were using Star Rods and shimano lever drag reels. When we got tired of dragging baits, we did some bottom fishing with egg sinkers, fishfinder rigs and circle hooks. We also used dead squid and dead pogies for bottom fishing. |

I emailed you a couple of fishing snaps from our thanksgiving holiday trip to warmer climes. Did you get them? I can't remember what email address I used for you and I'm not at home right now so I can't check my home computer. |

The restaurant in the Animal Kingdom Hotel, or whatever it's called, is great also. They're buffet features a wealth of recipes from around the world. The Liberty Tree Tavern (I think that is the name) in Dizzy World has changed its dinner menu. There used to be a selection, like there still is at lunch, but at dinner there is one price-fixed meal that includes a platter of ham, roast beef and turkey. It's a lot of food, enough to feed three, but...sadly...the food is only OK. And it is fairly expensive. We stayed he http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/res...e/rates-rooms/ Disney runs a bus from this hotel every 20 minutes to all of its attractions. We used to stay at the hotels on the monorail line, but find them overly crowded and noisy. The food court at the Port Orleans is pretty decent, actually. Thanks to a weird computer fluke, we got two days of admissions to the parks for free. When we went to check into the hotel, its computer reservation system was down and we had to stand in the check-in line for about an hour. I grumbled a little and the check-in cashier went to talk to her supervisor. When she came back, she said we'd beem "comped" two days worth of tickets, worth about $360. Hell, for $360 an hour, I'd work for a Republican political candidate. |

To respond "verbally," as it were, the day we went fishing in the ICW and its creeks, we used 5' Ugly Sticks, Penn 4200 and 4300 spinning reels, 6# braided line, and quarter-ounce jigs baited with live shrimp. I also tossed a few plastics and several varieties from D.O.A. The boat was a Carolina Skiff powered by a Honda outboard. The day we went offshore, we were on a pretty, fairly new 30' Luhrs and used live baitfish for trolling and for bottom fishing. The trolling rigs were simple wire rigs, with separated treble hooks, the sort of rig you use for kingfish. We were using Star Rods and shimano lever drag reels. When we got tired of dragging baits, we did some bottom fishing with egg sinkers, fishfinder rigs and circle hooks. We also used dead squid and dead pogies for bottom fishing. Porgies. You should have eaten them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porgie_fishing |

I emailed you a couple of fishing snaps from our thanksgiving holiday trip to warmer climes. Did you get them? I can't remember what email address I used for you and I'm not at home right now so I can't check my home computer. Set up RDC and you can connect to your home computer from anywhere. |

Wow. 6# braided has got to be some small stuff! Did the captain of the Luhrs sound a bit jealous when you told him about your 36'er? Probably put that damn Luhrs to shame. Did you catch any fish? Show us some pictures. Shoot, even those with your political persuasion like to see pictures. It was Berkley Fireline, 6# test, and it is very thin. I had to wear my reading glasses to see it well enough to tie it. It's about the same size as 2# mono would be. As I stated previously, I caught some fish. I see no reason to post personal boat photos or fishing photos here. Here's a snapshot of boating I took while in florida: http://tinyurl.com/2ct9ky2 I live and boat on the Chesapeake Bay, and meet Harry at the bait shop. I always enjoy his Parker, but his new boat is a beauty. Sorry, I made this post using the wrong account. You are replying to the ID spoofer. |
