Re: So what did Santa bring you?

I got one of the Spot X gizmos that has full texting capability vs just the pre-set messages. Nice for offshore trips in a bayboat, some shooting stuff, underwear and a new toothbrush :-D

Re: RIP George HW Bush

Pretty interesting article, I've read that it is likely the 4141 locomotive will be donated to the presidential library, watched a few minutes of video of the crowds along the line seemed like a lot of people turned out for it.

Re: Creek mouth fishing

I try to avoid boats in close proximity even on the flats. Don't do much shallow creek fishing as they are a bit skinny for me especially in the winter but a little common sense goes a long way and is in short supply these days. Besides the airboats running back and forth seem to keep the creek mout...

Re: Deer velvet question

I once killed a FL whitetail in full velvet in late December. Turned out he had been castrated or had some accident/birth defect, that was probably 30+ years ago and the horns still have the velvet on them. I've heard tales of old timers catching fawns and cutting them like a hog but don't know if t...

Re: Steinhatchee first timer questions

I haven't hit any rocks north of the river (yet) but there are some oyster beds in the shallow areas including around Dallus Creek, my rule of thumb is once I'm in 4' or less I'm usually off plane and idling or on the TM YMMV depending on your draft, don't be fooled by the guys running on plane up s...

We launched across the river from you at Good Times Marina that same day and saw you guys finishing up your Captain's Meeting. Wish we would have known about your tournament so we could have weighed in at both. Where can we get the results for the inshore catches? Thanks - Steve Stinson Steve not a...

Re: Hooked on Heros fishing day - steinhatchee

Forgot to add that we had breakfast at the Bridge Cafe, apparently under new ownership. Food was good, fast and they kept the coffee cups full and offered to go cups without us asking. Not many people there for an early Saturday morning in a fishing town but give them a try if you are in the area th...
