Fishtails

I'm assuming It's a 3 man (minimum), but you can have 4 members If you choose? Just can't run more than 6 rods......would that be correct? I'm sure all our questions will be answered In the next couple weeks. I like 4 man teams In case something goes wrong with your observer. It gives you room to give up a team member and still have your 3 man team. We have had good observers except for one and I am In agreement that we need observers or detectors. Regardless of anything else, It stops the accusations. Soon guys, we'll be out there trolling again

Thanks Paul!!! All the news Is sounding very positive and It's obvious the committee does listen to us, despite how some may feel. Should be a great year to look forward to

Storm, Contact Kevin Jerge . I spoke with him yesterday and as long as I understood Kevin correctly he Is handling all the slip reservations for the Scotty In both his marina and the other marinas In Wilson as well.

Tonights Sunset In Key West

I emailed Dave Turner this morning and he was kind enough to get right back to us with this response: "You can expect some final word on this years events very soon. I will try to get everybody to sign off by the end of the week but I can't promise". So, as of this moment the rules have not been finalized.

Was wondering this myself? I emailed Dave a month ago but got no response, so I assume there was nothing to tell us at that point. Anyone hear anything?

Wow....absolutly awesome Steve!

We made It here yesterday. I took the family out kayaking today, but no fishin yet. I'm not gonna put the boat In till Thursday, so I'll let ya know what we can wrestle Into the boat. The kids already have pet hermit crabs the caught on the beach today No hot babes on Long Key far as I can tell, but I shall continue my search and report back with my findings

Thanks Tom....that worked! Nice vids Steve! We are gonna go feed the tarpon tomorrow

It was a great game....congrat Jeff, Billy V & all you other Steelers fans. I bleed Eagle green so I'm still bitter over our loss to the Cards , but I was routing for the NFC anyway. It was great to see the Cards play a good game though. We pulled into our campsite down here In the Keys just In time for the game. My signal wasn't very clear, but at least I got to watch the game! I wasn't sure I'd be able to get It? 74 degrees right now , but a couple cooler days ahead before we get back to the high 70's. We are down here for the next 13 days, but no fishing till later In the week and then a lot of fishing planned for next week. Hopefully we'll be able to find some fish. I'll post a report when we get out.

Hey Steve, nothin shows up on my puter except a blue box? Anyone else have this problem? I'll let you know how we make out

Those look great Tom! I suspect they will be available at Fat Nancy's also?

I just had to cancel, so there are at least 3 seats open If you jump on It.

Ray, A bow mount will never fly with the wife, and I have a Navigator 5500 laying around from when I had my Lund. It was underpowered for that boat but should be perfect for this one. It mounts on the outboard and I don't think she'll find that as offensive. I made the mistake of telling her It was her boat when I bought It.......and she actually took me literally . I'd prefer the extra weight In the front, so I guess compartment #2 Is being added tomorrow. She's really going to be happy with me If she figures out what I did

Don't laugh Hank, but I already did that. I made room In the front for one battery by adding a nice little compartment, but I can't fit two. Maybe I just need to try harder. I'll just tell her I needed to add a compartment for the kids life vests. It looks stock and It's under a cushion anyway, so I doubt she'll even notice.

I just found that out Ray...I assumed they'd be smaller without doing any research....duh!! Damn...so now what?

I need some advise, I'm putting a 24 volt trolling motor on my wife's boat....don't let her know cause she'll be really pissed I'm not allowed to put any fishing stuff on her boat, so I'm mounting a trolling motor and chartplotter strictly for safety reasons. She's gonna be so proud of me. My hang up Is the 24 volts. I don't have room for two extra 12 volt batteries, Any Ideas?

Bob, you really ought to consider putting Melissa on the payroll as your secretary. Have you given any thought to adding Ray K as your first mate this year....you guys could talk In code. Just razzing ya dude. You fishing the Scotty out of St. Cathrines again this spring?

We'll have internet the whole time so I'll stay In touch I've found lots of us LOU'ers go down to the keys. I'm missing Capt. Randy by a week.

If you wanna escape the cold for a few moments, here are some fun to watch live cams In the Florida Keys. Feed the Tarpon...watch the sunset celebration Feeding the Tarpon at Robbie's In Islamorada. These are wild fish that come and go as they please. The lattice around the docks are to keep the pelicans out. http://www.robbies.com/videos.htm Mallory Landing....The place to be In Key West as the Sun begins to set. This Is also where the cruise ships dock. http://www.oceankey.com/oceankey_mallorycam.aspx Deer beach cam.....Check out the Key deer...best time to see them Is early and later In the day. http://www.deerrunfloridabb.com/webcam.htm All the rest http://fla-keys.com/webcams/

Hey Rick, Bring your portable unit along In May when we fish out west. I have the c-map nt+ In my Raymarine, I'd like to compare them.

I am really looking forward to these events. The Wilson Scotty will be our first....c-mon spring I'll call tomorrow Kevin. I can't wait to spend some time at your Marina again. By far the class of the south shore!!

In some parts of Key West they run around wild. It's a Cuban thing. The kids have fun chasing them around. Don't miss the sunset celebration In Key West. It goes on every night of the week and It's truly fun and unique!

Cool...which Island ya visiting Randy? Good luck and give us a report and some pictures!! Some months may be better than others, but plenty of tarpon are around all Winter. One very cool place to go Is Robbies In Islamorada to feed the Tarpon. They are there by the 100's everyday for free grub, It's pretty neat. Here Is their website: http://www.robbies.com/

That's pretty much how I was taught how to clean bullheads....except bullheads are even easier.
