dec fishing


haven't seen any post since Christmas so thought would start or end the year with a post of December fishing in Florida . Went out of anclote ( by Tarpon Springs ) in search of fresh trout. Having it 85 degrees and sunny was just a bonus. Fishing was steady all morning and got a action shot of Fish-On from the deck of boat. look forward to more days like this on the water and any snowbirds want any part of this come on down.
Happy New Year, anybody miss Marco ??

Requested Recipe


Here it is - the recipe for "Snowman Poop" as named by the Owen family.
This was the snack that was in the large red bucket
that many tried and wondered about.

Puffcorn Delights (Mike-Sells brand)
or Corn Pops (Grippo's brand [not the cereal])
White chocolate chips or squares

Spread corn puffs on wax paper. Melt white chocolate and drizzle generously over puffs.

That's all there is to it!

Home Sweet Home... in Bloomington

Pops and Tutu are settled at Holland Drive.. their "city house"
Tutu had chili ready in the kitchen and is ready to bake Xmas cookies now that she has a stove!
Picture Pops relaxing in the big red chair watching Gladiators cuz that's where I left him this evening... doing really well and enjoying the cozy "honeymoon house."

first timer

Read that everyone had done something exciting over the weekend with singing and dancing so felt that a post was in order to let everyone know i was still going. Went out of Anclote today with Barb ( first time fishing ) and the bite was on !!!! around 9:00 am the birds started letting us know the bait were moving and the fish followed. for about an hour and half it was steady action of mackeral, trout, large ladyfish, and seveal others. this is one of the spanish mackeral brought home with a couple large trout that were made into large filets and dinner was on. i could post the pics from the Undertow on Sat from riding the bike over and getting some beach time. but thought a pic of someone other than me would be better. awaiting more snow birds since the weather sat and sunday was mid 80's and lots of sun. tell Joe and Mort that i am starting to figure this fishing out just a bit so maybe when they come down will do better. more pics available upon request.
