    Jeff & John,

    Breaking News source of ears burning nationwide traced to big bull session in Tampa.  Two jokers with frozen yogurt questioned.

    She was the photo taker.....

    She was about worn out today, LOL...

    Up early to head toward Tampa Covention Center Super Boat Show at Harbor Island.

    Cracker Barrel first for breakfast in Brandon...., Momma's Pancake Breakfast.

    Boat show, and drooling over this bad azz Hewes Redfisher RF18 with Yamaha's newest 150SHO motor hanging from the back, sitting on an AmeraTrail ZT trailer (all aluminum and SS);

    RF18

    Awesome boat..., I have the RF16 & Yamaha F90, and the AmeraTrail, just one size down...

    Then headed a little north toward the University of South Florida and a meet and greet with Dugster and his son..., was to be at Starbucks, but finding a seat at a coffee shop next the University didn't work out... 

    So we sacrificed and opted for some frozen yogurt sundaes..., it was rough I know.

    Awesome meet...

    The pleasure was all mine

    I had a really good time with John and Shelly. We toastred Matt while we ate our yogurt. John I didn't buy my son did, remember I have always said I am spending the kid's inheritance money. So that means next time we meet I will buy again because you do so much for so many on here.

    My last night down here and I just found out my sone had this computer with a printer so I printed out the boarding passes and while I was on I had to come and visit my CSN family

    John thanks again for all you do.  I look  forward to meeting up again.

          Jeff

    I like to travel, but pretty much everywhere I go, I'm about ready for home in a few days, LOL...

     

    I mean really, I live in Florida, where most be come to vacation, great house, awesome swimming pool, reliable boat, and tons of fishing spots...

    Annnnd, I have great people like Jeff, Tim, Pat and others that usually find their way here once in awhile...

     

    Topping all of that off with a beautiful wife, my best friend..., and two chocolate chip lab sisters... I have it all...

     

    Actually I finally get to meet Dawn (Sweetblood22) next month, she's finally breaking away from PA and heading down this way for a few days...

    Radiation Fishing

    During my radiation treatments, I often visualized fishing in the gulf, Tampa Bay, off Joe Island, up to my chest in the water, bait bucket full of small mullet, shrimp, or pinfish, sun shining, water the temperature of bath water, waiting for that foot long torpedo redfish or trout to hit (more than likely a black tip foot long shark or a catfish).  Or doing the same off Alligator Point north of Tampa close to the panhandle.  John you live in paradise.

    Offered...

    There was an offer made, LOL....

    But Jeff figured it might not go over so well with his limited time to see the grandbabby, then out fishing with me....

    But then again, he could have brought fresh fish home for dinner...

    As John stated, he did make the offer to do some fishing but then we would be obligated to tell a few fish stories. Instead we decided to just flounder around.

    Floundering

    Geez,

    I was really waiting for that fresh box of flounder to show up so it could keep company with the biggest flounderer of them all.. LOL 

    Really feel like a lot of flapping and floundering around here lately. The old engine is having some difficulty staying running and sputtering on a few down cylinders.

    I was hoping that box of flounder would flush the system. Oh well next time. :-)

    Yep...

    There's a 90' hole out by Egmont...

    Which is kind of weird as most people don't realize that the average depth of Tampa Bay is only around 12'... Of course it does have several channels that have been dredged to around 45' for the large ships that come in.

    Hard-Heat Catfish - good eatin'? Who knew?

    John, stumbled across an article this mornin' that claims hard-head catfish are good to eat.  I have always considered them a useless nuisance and waste of bait.  Just wondering if you had ever tried eating the dang things.  Here is a link to the article ...

    Catfish rules!

    Catfish, especially farm raised is wonderful! Beer battered and fried it's unbeatable! Add some hush puppies to it and you have a true Southern delicacy.
