Default 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.

personal blatant attempt at trolling the news group and starting a new flame fest while craving more attention while I sit here in the middle of Kansas, in the winter, with no place to go.

Well, if your opinion about the comparison should differ, make the case
for Floriduh boating. Then again, if you agree with my observation,
suppose you would see it as hitting below the belt.

Skipper,
I would love to hear about one of your recent trips to Mexico.

How long did you stay there? What areas you visited? Any fishing
stories etc? Has the area changed much since your first trip many years
ago?

OK. Later today, I'm going fishing at the 5 mile reefs to target grouper,
snapper, cobia and sheepshead. Tomorrow, I'm hooking up the smaller boat to
tow an hour and 50 minutes across Alligator Alley and fish 2.5 miles
offshore for Sailfish, kingfish, and wahoo.

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

Where do you launch on the east coast? Any trailer parking issues?

Haulover. I've only been there once, and there was plenty of parking...but
it wasn't during season.

We're leaving the house at 4:30am, so we clear the pass by sunrise. We
might put the trip on hold 'til Saturday due to predicted 15-20knot winds
out of the East on Friday and early Saturday.

Sheepshead? Jeeze, that's like pullin up discarded bicycle tires.
Triggerfish put up a real fight and are worth eatin. Down Mexico way the
boys filet em for ya soon as the boat hits the dock. Triggers are
probably the fightenest fish pound for pound you can sling aboard.

Tomorrow, I'm hooking up the smaller boat to tow an hour and 50 minutes
across Alligator Alley and fish for Sailfish.


Would seem you have a truly trailerable boat then. Wouldn't want to lug
a Parker 25 that far.

Skipper,
From what you have said in here, you took a few very memorable trips to
Mexico as a kid, took a few great trips as an adult.

I am curious as to when your next trip will be.
