    Offshore Fishing with Friends!

    Since I worked the weekend, I took Monday off to go fishing with my friends Ed and Don. We were to meet at the dock by 6:45am. I didn’t get to the dock until 6:30am, which is a bit later than I wanted to. I like getting to the dock early; however, it was my…

    Memories of a Great Day Fishing

    Tania and I did not make it out this weekend. Unfortunately, I had to work this weekend. Since we were unable to go fishing, I thought I would share one of our more memorable trips with our friend Gil.   On November 23, 2019, Tania and I took our friend Gil on the boat with…

  • Thanksgiving Surf Fishing

    Thanksgiving Surf Fishing

    Thanksgiving morning Tania and I woke up about 6:30am and headed to the beach to go surf fishing. When we arrived at Blue Heron beach, the parking lot was pretty full, so I was hopeful this was a good sign. Since it was pretty foggy, we could not tell the water quality, but with all…

    A Special Thank You

    Today while Tania and I were sitting on the beach surf fishing, I reflected on all the things I have to be thankful for. I am thankful for my beautiful wife Tania. I am thankful for our family and friends. I am thankful for a roof over our heads, the cars to get us  where…

    Meal fit for a King

    Thanksgiving supper came early to the Schulze house. Tania slaved over the stove all day making a meal fit for a king. We had turkey, potato stuffing, corn casserole, cranberry relish, gravy, and my favorite bacon dressing and lettuce. And for dessert Tania made a crustless pumpkin pie. I came home from work about 5:30pm…

  • Sheepshead Tacos

    Sheepshead Tacos

    I decided to make fish tacos with the sheepshead I caught on Saturday. The first step was to make the coleslaw. I started with a coleslaw mix from Publix and then made the dressing. The Dressing was a mix of mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and Frank’s Redhot powder. I did a cup of mayonnaise,…

  • Fishing With my Best Friend

    Fishing With my Best Friend

    Tania and I weren’t sure we would go fishing on Saturday as the marine forecast was calling for 15-20kt winds. I checked Windy (an app) and it only showed it getting up to 11kts by 10:00AM, so I talked with Tania, and we decided to go. I only got three dozen shrimp as I figured…

  • Solo Trip

    Solo Trip

    Today I did a solo trip. I invited a friend; however, he had to back out due to some personal issues. I checked the forecast and wasn’t sure I was going to go myself with the 15-20kt wind forecast. I decided to send it anyways and got to the dock about 6:30am. While I was…

  • Small Pompano at Blue Heron Beach

    Small Pompano at Blue Heron Beach

    On Sunday after church, I asked Tania and June if they wanted to go to the beach. Both Tania and June enjoy sitting on the beach relaxing. I figured I could throw a couple of baits in the water to see what was biting while we were all enjoying each other’s company! They both said…
