WELL THE OLD MAN FINALLY GOT TO GO FISH THE GULF. MY OLDEST SON EARL CAARRIED ME AND THE BOAT DOWN TO ST . MARKS LIGHT HOUSE AND LAUNCHED AFTER A STUPID MISTAKE. WE CRANKED ON THE ENGINE UNTILL THE BATTERY WAS ALMOST DEAD AND THE ENGINE REFUSED TO START. PULLED THE BOAT OUT OF THE RAMP AND DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER AND PUT THE JUMP START CABLE ON THE BATTERY IN THE BOAT, TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I TOLD EARL TO HOLD THE PLUG WIRE ABOUT 1/2 INCH FROM THE BLOCK AND SEE IF IT WOULD SPARK ACROSS TO THE ENGINE. NO FIRE, THEN EARL ASKED IF I HAD PULLED THE LANYARD OUT OF THE KILL SWITCH, I LOOKED DOWN AND SURE ENOUGH THE DERN LANYARD HAD WORKED OUT OF PLACE. I PLUGGED IN THE KILL SWITCH AND SHE STARTED RIGHT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE FISHED FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS AND ONLY CAUGHT 1 PIN FISH AND NOTHING ELSE. TRIED ALL THE TRICKS I KNEW BUT NO FISH. WAS NICE TO GET OUT ON THE WATER BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF WE HAD CAUGHT SOME TROUT.

Sorry PA. That was a tough trip.

I would be willing to bet that a couple of years from now (and after much study) the Biologist will make a big announcement that Specked Trout populations in the Big Bend Region of Florida suffered a near collapse in 2015 for reasons that none of us can seem to put our finger on right now.

But it has happened in my opinion.
