Floriduh - A Passing Fad
Floriduh was once the place you set world land speed records. That honor
has long since passed to western states. Floriduh once had great fishing and freedoms, not any more. The best fishing is now found on the West Coast and Pacific waters. Would seem Floriduh has been religated as a place for retirees and the non adventurous. Those with real get-up-and-go, with true adventurous spirits, the non whoosies with real drive, well, they go west and really live. Of course, that just my personal observation. -- Skipper |

Why don't you tell us about all the great blue-water adventures in and around Derby, Kansas? One of the funniest stories I ever heard about Kansas. Guy said his younger brother went to be with Grandpa one winter. Asked what there is to do in winter in on a farm in Kansas. Grandpa reached under the table and placed on same table a large bottle of a distilled corn derivative. |

Life is so awful down here in FL in January that I just gotta go
sailing to get my mind offa it. We haveta put up with fishing in liquid water from boats while you people in nicer places get to comfortably sit on solid water and fish in january. When I do go sailing here in N. FL, it is so lonely that I hardly ever see another boat. I bet you guys are really glad to have all that interesting civilization to look at while you sail, all we have is wilderness for 130 miles to the east and hardly nothing to the west for 60 miles. I wish we wuz civilized enough to have channel markers but damn we dont even got channels! I am so tired of slatherin on the "Skin-so-Soft" for the "no-see-um" bugs I caint hardly stand it that I might have to stop fishin in an hour or so an go find a good redneck bar and cry in my beer while eating fresh oysters and smoked mullet wishing all your po' old relatives werent so mizrable down here. |

How's the fishing this time of the year in Kansas? |

Yeah is sux down here.... 3 weeks ago a boat off Palm beach released 39

Our water is still WARM in the winter and the islands are still only 42 NM away from our coast SO..... Florida SUX... STAY HOME!!!!! A southern man don't need you around anyhow.....

We stay on the other side of the bridge from Haulover. Then as you know, Haulover can be a messy inlet on a new moon outgoing tide with a strong onshore wind...which is exactly what is predicted for tomorrow. Winds are out of the east at 15-20 knots, and seas are 7 to 9 feet on top of a 3 foot swell. Perfect sailfish conditions...but not when you're going out in an 18' Boston Whaler...so our plans have changed. Instead, we're running in the Grady to the one of the DoD towers southwest of Marco on this coast. Seas are predicted to be 2-4 late Saturday...decreasing to 2' or less by Sunday. |
