And the winner is......

Since I had some time to kill while waiting for Pat to arrive at Ft. Lauderdale I went over to the Bass Pro Shop where there was a fishing seminar going on. I put my name in the box and won a $300.00 offshore rod and reel.

Cold Weather Fishing

Bob cooked up some of his famous fried fish for his friends while he was there. Their next stop will be at Chokoloskee to do some Snook fishing with friend Jim O'Keefe. Then it is on to the Island to fish with the Keysmon, Captain Gus, and Captain Glenn.
