Nice report because it reads like I was there too.
And, the redfish secret is...?

Looks as if we'll be hearing an occasional missile go over our heads if we're in Hickory Mound area. It is quite comforting to know only about
one in ten will have a warhead. The target area is supposed to be
about one square mile from what was published in minutes of commissioners' meeting. Another thing stated was that target would be marked with orange paint so hunters could recognize it. They said if no more than 30-40 fisherman were in the area it would not be a problem.
(I guess we're expendable within those numbers.

) Safety was discussed from every aspect but the reason given for moving from Eglin target area was increasing population there.
Anybody know what those missiles sound like??????

Yep!!!! Just glad I fish east of there. Some of these boys are known to "shoot out" at times. Might not effect the wildlife as much as we think. I've seen deer walk right out on the range in the middle of a fire mission at Ft. Benning. The big boys at Twenty-nine Palms will almost make you have a bowel movement even when your expecting it.

The planes making a low bombing run is extremly loud too.
