Great to hear from you. I bet you feel pretty young down there. The folks are probably calling you the "young whippersnapper". Things up here are back to normal. We've been trolling the bar out of the Oak and bringing in more than our limit every day. Gotta go......FISH ON!!!

[Fishtails]

Howz the weather Ray ? What are ya catching? Doin a party or charter boat while your down there? I hear they are pounding the sails right now!

Where did ya go to feed the tarpon, that seafood market (can't remember the name) ?

If you fish the bridge again, give some thought about going to the bait shop in Marathon (same side of road as Wendy's ) and grab (2) 10lb boxes of frozen chum and a chum bag.

Drop it over the edge of the bridge on the incoming tide off the gulf side and you might be able to get some better fish. Trick is getting past all the little ones :x

Enjoy the rest of your trip Ray!!
