Well, what fun we had again.
Thanks to daydreamer and 77Sceptre. The windshield looks great and Jim makes pretty teak goodies. Thanks to Mr. Moose for transport.

I think Denny was born to be an explorer. Just naturally in his thought and heart.

We were headed into the bright gulf sun straining for markers. Begging for more taxpayer support. Your markers are far away. Is this something new?

It was a beautiful ride.

We were just about at Ft. Meyers and I got confused. We took a wrong turn. We found our folly quickly and turned right about. We pushed the speed a bit into an orange orb.
The magic hours.

We found our way close to the Marshtackie Hangar. There was low tide and grass 1 foot below. Why don't bugs live there?

A phone call away and off to the channel.
The transport crews deserve special thanks from all of us over the weekend.
Never any substitute for local knowledge.

I didn`t expect the wonderful fresh fish.
Doormat Mangos. Freekin yum.

Big Groupah. Did you guys shoot 50 lbs of fish?

Moose telecom got us hard lined to the Key.
The place is lined with cabbage.

Had a nice night cap with Nicole at the bar.

Pretty cool bar when you are only two.
Lotta history there.

Thanks,
GFS


There are few things better than those you gather from the sea.
Doormat Mangos.

Maybe 50#'s plus - we ended up with two 12.5# Gags, 17 mango's @ 3# average, 6 Scamp @ 3# and one lion fish @ 2#

We had a couple of Mango's like this that were
2.25 X the 9" Bubba Blade

And these 4 foot "Line Siders" were lurking under the dock at Cayo Costa -

Got to review some of the gopro video and did some screen captures of the day. The screen captures are a little fuzzy but the videos are crystal. Great day on the water gathering gifts from the sea. Here is one of the crew dropping me on one of Terry's top secret spots.

Target rich environment for sure..... Good thing for the Reef Donkies that they are out of season.
