WELL FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO FISH IN THE GULF , FIRST TIME IN A LONG WHILE. ON THE WAY DOWN FROM CAIRO WE BROUGHT UP THE COASTAL WEATHER REPORT ON MY BOYS PHONE, ABOUT THE TIME WE HIT THE CITY LIMITS OF TALLA-HO , THE WEATHER MAN CAME ON AND SAID THAT THERE WERE SMALL CRAFT WARNINGS UP AT THE COAST. SINCE IT HAD BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I HAD A CHANCE TO FISH THE FLATS WE DECIDED TO GO AND GIVE IT A TRY. THIS IS ONE TIME THE WEATHERMAN WAS RIGHT, THE WAVES WERE ABOUT 1 1/2 FT. AT ABOUT 5 SECONDS, WE DID A LOT OF ROCKING AND ROLLING BUT WE WENT AHEAD OUT ON THE FLATS AT THE LIGHTHOUSE. IT WAS EXTREAMLY ROUGH , REAL LITTLE SHARP BUMPS THAT CAME ABOUT EVERY 5 SECONDS, I WAS ABLE TO CATCH 1 JUST UNDERSIZE TROUT AND GOT CUT OFF BY A SPANISH THAT WAS REALLY LARGE. EARL JR. HAD A FEW STRIKES BUT DID NOT HANG ANY FISH. IT WAS GREAT BEING OUT ON THE WATER WITH MY OLDEST SON BUT WE TOOK A BEATING FROM THE WAVES. I SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GO THE GULF EVERY TIME THERE IS A HURRICANE , SMALL CRAFT WARNING, POURING DOWN RAIN ETC. THIS HAS BEEN MY LUCK EVER SINCE I HAD MY HIP OPERATION 3 YRS. AGO. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE OPERTUNITY TO GET TO THE GULF 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YRS. WELL MAYBE THE NEXT TIME IT WILL BE CALM. THAT IS ABOUT ALL I HAVE TO REPORT ON THE FISHING, THAT TRAFFIC ON CAP. CIR. ON THE WAY HOME WAS JUST AWLFUL, TOOK OVER AN HOUR ON CAP. CIR. E. TO GET AROUND TALLY HO. THANKS FOR ALL THE EFFORT BY YOU JR. IT WAS GREAT JUST BEING WITH YOU.

This is a much better and IMO faster way to go.

PROCRAFT, THANKS FOR THE ROUTE TO SAVE TIME, I HAVE USED THIS ROUTE GOING OVER TO ECONFINA SEVERAL TIMES, IT DOES SAVE A LOT OF TIME UNLESS YOU GET BEHIND A SCHOOL BUS ON THE WAY BACK HOME IN THE AFTERNOON. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE INFORMATION.
