Vickie has the conch chowder in the works for the paddle-in. The drinks are chillin'. Scott has 90 lbs of his "nationally ranked" pulled pork prepared for the after-paddle-in party. The band "Weathered Souls", recent winners of the "Battle of the Bands", will be playing in "acoustic mode" Saturday eve. The tees shirts arrived yesterday. The kayaks are cleaned (sort of). And most importantly, Sky Boss, seems to have smile on the event with conditions presently forecasted to be "East winds 5 knots becoming smooth". It is going to be a blast... see you there ...

This is a blast!!! Wish Sally and I could come down this year. We will make another one soon. Great place to go and the fishing is awesome!!! Reading reports, looks like the spring pattern is starting up. Not much of a winter.

The winter fishing was superb early ... the last three weeks or so on the outside has been limited to trout ... Fishing deep inside in the backcountry, especially on the 3 day camping trips, we have been wrecking havoc on the snook ...

Starting jumping full grown tarpon Sunday!

If you make down to naw'leans wray ... find Danny Wray ...

Dean,

I have had many ask if you are going to be here ... "teaching again" ... I told them yes ... in spriit and rum. You will be missed ...

Especially by the manatees, they love you sooooo much!

We finally got the replica snook that Sally caught in the Glades last year. She couldn't hold the real one up.

One of these days, one of these days......

Captain chuck, that sounds like such a cool event!

Thomas and I will make it one of these hurricane free years

We need to come back and finish our fishing trip with you.
