    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…

    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…

    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…

    Today was a beautiful day to be on the water. We made it to the dock about 6:30am. It was really foggy, but I expected it would burn off quickly. We loaded the boat and set out about 6:45am. Tania wanted to start off in the turn basin near the barge, where she lost the…

    More fun With a Friend!

    Since I didn’t get out fishing this weekend, I thought I share one of my most memorable fishing experiences. To set the stage, Last year on October 17th I ended up on the beach in the evening to go surf fishing. It was a beautiful evening, and I had no idea I would catch a trophy…

    My sister, Andrea, is flying into Orlando to visit this weekend with her husband. On Wednesday she asked me if I could make her some fish dip. I told her I would; however, I had no fish to make the dip. When Tania got home from work, she asked if I wanted to go fishing…

    Fish Tacos

    I decided to make fish tacos for lunch today. I used the sheepshead and snapper I brought home on the other day. The first step to making good fish tacos is to get the coleslaw ready. I bought shredded cabage at the local Publix and mixed in chipotle ranch, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn tortilla…
