Amen to that but I think he's leaning toward dry tortugas so why don't you set up a tuna trip and invite me? I could use some fresh YFT in the freezer again.

If leaving CONUS is an option, Panama is due south of the Tortugas.

I grew up fishing the Keys and have seen the fort from the water but never took the tourist tour. Should be a great tour for a history buff or for swimming and there's a ton of things to see and do in Key Weird (West) but IMO it's hard to beat Venice.

I don't have a dog in this hunt but imo there's nothing wrong with air boats as long as they're operating within the law. If you think they're loud, you should hear the Navy's hydrofoils over this way. 20210714_115648.jpg Air boats aren't restricted to the marshes any more than flats boats are restr...

So I'm pledging to never again buy seafood in a supermarket, order seafood in a restaurant, eat at Capt.

How often do you check lower unit oil condition and level? Do you wait until a scheduled service is due or check it soone...

Thanks but I looked at that option too and I think if I bent the brackets, the angle would make it impossible to get to the mounting holes.
