Spent countless hours fishing for red bellies with my dad growing up and many more hours diving the Santa Fe and SuwanneeBuilt my home in '76 on 5 acres in Sandy Acres CR 22 I think off 441 back when I worked for Xerox.
Lots of fishing on Suwannee & Santa Fe rivers, swimming in Poe & Ginnie Springs. Hunting Pinhook Swamp & Osceola National Forest.
I miss High Pings...
Share some pics of your haul.Going to give it a try in Waccasassa tomorrow. I have a friend and his son in the area on spring break from Wisconsin.
First time on the flats this year, fished the river and oyster bars in early February, but no luck that day.
Yeah, nice beaver.Every now and then I like to go back in time, to page 40...
Fish there often with my Dad coming up, lots of fond memories. That’s was when you could keep a 12 inch trout and god know how many redfish.Going to give it a try in Waccasassa tomorrow. I have a friend and his son in the area on spring break from Wisconsin.

Back before the days of modern outboards(DFI's and Four strokes) there was an old joke that went "what's big, black, fast and only works when it wants to"? I refused to ever own a Merc or Force when buying any of the 8 boats I've owned.Some bad memories too. Dad had a piece of chit Chrysler outboard
30 years ago a tow would cost around $600 for pulling you in from anything further than about 3 miles from the inlet. Can’t imagine what it would be these days.Back before the days of modern outboards(DFI's and Four strokes) there was an old joke that went "what's big, black, fast and only works when it wants to"?

Those old Chryslers and later Force's were god awful and I remember coming up with something very important to do everytime one of my neighbors would offer to take me offshore out of Canaveral in his CC with a 120HP Force.....that SOB would literally end up getting towed in every other time he went.
The East pass would be a good place to startGoing out Sunday in the Suwannee looking for redfish with my family. Second time fishing for reds; first time in our "new to us" boat.

My Dad always preached to stay away from Mercury, and go with Johnson or Evinrude. We always had Johnson’s when I was growing up.Back before the days of modern outboards(DFI's and Four strokes) there was an old joke that went "what's big, black, fast and only works when it wants to"?
