In the paddle group, they constantly post trip reports. Something like
the stuff in my "Back to boating post". Anyone else been out lately?
Where'd you go, wadidya do? Swim, fish, saw my bud up at the lake last
week working on an engine. We had a tuft a year or two ago and have
not spoken since, now we will probably go fishin' again soon. Amazing
what an hour at the lake can do.

Anyway, Has anyone been frekin' boating?

Yeah, and I'm scheduled for a "demo" ride on a new boat with THREE
frippin' 350-hp outboards. Hope they don't ask for us to chip in for gas.

Frippin'?

Lol, feels like I'm watching the Sopranos! (Remember Tony's great

Do they all suffer from narcissism, too? Maybe it was in the water.

I'm going snook fishing tomorrow. I'll post updates when I get back,
assuming I am not too tired from pullin on the linesiders to write.

ok, no snook yesterday, but i blame it on lack of my ability to net some
quality bait. went by the first secret spot, tried some artificials, to
no avail. the guys near us landed about 10 that i counted in about 30
minutes.

next found a place with some shrimp, so we bought a few dozen. then on
the the next secret spot. we brought home our limite of redfish, with a
23-incher being the biggest landed of the day. the one that felt
significantly bigger got off before being boated. oh well, i have the
spot marked!

also got a nice haul of 4 mangrove snapper too. the bycatch of small
jacks, sailcats, pinfish, smaller mangroves, and a couple of ladyfish.

the weather was warm and the sun was out. didn't get rained on once.

Where are you fishing, Downtime? Tell me the secret spots too.
I won't tell anybody.

SW Florida. We live in Cape Coral. The secret is to fish where the fish
are, and when they are feeding. It's taken me a long time to figure that
one out.
