First redfish @ 40

Post by Chalk »

Sitting at the house...surfing the net...phone rings - Capt. Leake says, "What are you doing?" Ten minutes later - I am redressed, fly rod and tackle in hand....I'm making the three minute drive to the boat ramp. Justin hollers at me and I walk around the seawall and he looks like pigpen from the peanuts with the sand gnats swarming him :lol: . Off we go in the Beavertail Vengence - fishing the last hour of light - beautiful sunset. Was rewarded with my first redfish after coming home from Germany and breaching the 40 year mark. Much better than sitting at home and watching TV - Thanks for the invite Capt. Leake - http://panamacityinshore.com/

Is 40 really an age? :smt010
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

No Chalk...... I have no doubt you caught the fish, I was referring to "A Pirate Looks at 40"........ By the way, rumor has it that Buffet made an appearance last night at Margaritaville in Pier Park yesterday.
