LOL, and I'll bet the natives are all bundled up. I spent a winter down
there. It was always a funny sight. The natives bundled in their down
winter coats, while the Michigan tourists headed to the beach in their
tee-shirts.

Do you believe there were nincompoops windsurfing, using skimboards, and
lying around on the beach today? The sun was out, and there was not a cloud
in the sky. But the air temp was in the high 50's, and the wind was blowing
onshore at 20+ knots. I was bundled up in a waterproof jacket with hood,
and two layers underneath. When we were anchored up along the leeward side
of a mangrove wall, it got warm enough out to strip down to a
tee-shirt...but when I tried fishing the pass with that strong onshore wind
blowing at me, it was time to bundle up again.

I don't know how I survived 28 years up North.

Dump some snow there and she might change her tune.

Let us know how it works out :-)


This is our 3rd substantial snowstorm in a week. It's been snowing all day,
and still snowing/drifting as we speak. I'll get up tomorrow and put it
through it's paces. For last two storms it worked quite well. It will bog
down some on the first cut but as I make subsequent cuts (half cuts) it
works just fine. The auger is plastic so I don't try to chew hard frozen
stuff pushed in by the city plow.

I didn't even bother to shovel the walk between the driveway and the
front door. God put the snow there...let her take it away.


I'm libel for a fine if I don't clear my sidewalk within 12 hours of the
storm ending. I have to do my 'walkway' from the front door to the
sidewalk, or the mailman won't deliver and we do have homecare people come
twice a week to bath my mother.

Where's the guy with the little electric snowblower?

We were supposed to get 4-8" of snow, but the storm passed north of us,
and we got 2-3" max, though there are snow showers forecast for today.
It's -11C right now, though, and the winds are howling. I haven't been
outside yet today. Looks pretty miserable.


We're not totally immune down here in Florida either. It's a chilly 58F
right now. ;-)

Seas are 2 feet right now, but building to 10 feet this evening with NW
winds 20-25 knots. The temp is supposed to drop 25 degrees over the next
12-18 hours. The Tampa area (160 miles north of me) is issuing Gale
warnings, with seas 9-13 feet, and temps 27-32F.




Sounds like a good day for the semi-annueal SW Florida Dental Assn
Fishing Tournament.


I went out today anyhow. Fished the back waters, and it wasn't too bad
if I fished the leeward side of the mangroves. My 5 year old and I
caught countless mangrove snappers and sheepshead on live and cut shrimp.
All were teeny tiny, but it sure beats the snow.




Here's a weird tip. When I lived in NE Florida and fished a lot with live
shrimp, I tossed the ones that didn't survive in the livewell in a glass
jar filled with diet pepsi and stuck it overnight in the fridge. For
reasons totally unknown to me, the next day, those pepsi-soaked shrimp
were gangbusters as dead bait the next day. Coke did not work.

How the heck did you ever think of even trying that?

One weekend in Florida, while my rig was in the shop (stator), I went to
the Jax Beach fishing pier. The guy next to me was catching one nice
whiting after another, using shrimp and I was catching almost nothing. I
asked him what he was doing, and he showed me...he had been soaking his
shrimp in diet pepsi. He gave me a couple and they worked. And worked
almost every time afterwards I tried the technique. I don't know what it
is, the aroma, the taste, the artificial sweetener soak.

Do they stay firm and tough enough to stay on the hook? Day old dead shrimp
usually turn to mush.

Here we go,,,

I had to laugh one day, partner of mine came to visit me here in the west,
and near my home is an old folks home, it took em a bit to understand the
philosophy of stuffing your parents into some place, letting someone else
clean them, care for them, visit them once a year,,,, I guess that is just
one of the differences between your culture krause and mine,,,, and you
german racists laugh at my culture all the time,,,lol,,, I bet your german
mother there krause wishes she had a child who didn't promise to associate
with them ever,,,, or had to have homecare or strangers bath them,,, real
class act you are there krause,,,,


putting your bait shrimp in pepsi,,, but not coke,,, now krause you are so
dam full of **** I bet your eyes are brown,,,


Notice the ,,,, lord giveth lord takith away excuse//??? krause is that
another escape for you?/ why not tell the truth,, why not either just say
you are too old, toothless and feeble to shovel or your own children, who
promised never to associate with you again (as you said) will not come over
to shovel it for you ,,,,

krause,,, you live a sad life,,, don't ever get rid of that computer,, you
will be dead in a week,,

That was the case when I lived in Virginia, but we're on a little private
road now, and our rural carrier puts the mail into multi-family box unit
down at the edge of the public road.

Ahhh...as a dentist, I thought you would know the secret to keeping dead
shrimp on the hook...braces elastics!


The only thing that I use dead shrimp for is tipping my sabiki rig. If I
know that I'm using shrimp tipped jigs, I still buy fresh shrimp, and cut
them up. I don't have much luck with shrimp that I have been dead for more
than an hour or so. Of course, I never tried the Diet Pepsi trick.

snow--their feet did not reach the ground.
