Good Fishing

I had a very nice weekend

I had a really nice fishing weekend that I thought I would share. Once or twice a year I go over to my childhood friends place in Fort Myers, Florida, for a three-day fishing weekend. We have been fishing together for almost 40 years and we always do well but the fishing last weekend was really exceptional.

We left out of Punta Gorda Friday and headed strait out 30 miles into the Gulf of Mexico to our secret spots, and fish about 20 hrs strait. My friend has commercial fishing license so we don’t have to worry about bag limits and so we can sell enough to pay for the trip. We caught an assortment of black grouper, mangrove and yellowtail snapper, amberjack and kingfish, all very tasty.

After you’ve cleaned all these you need to dispose of the fish carcasses and for that my friend has a pet disposal that lives across the street. He gets well fed to say the least and is growing almost two foot a year to around 9 ft now. And that’s not a telephoto lens he’s only about two feet from very nervous toes.

Sunday we went bass fishing in a very relaxing and picturesque lake inside of Lakes Park. I think I enjoy this even more. It’s really calm and quiet, no motors allowed, nothing but the sound of chirping birds. It’s catch and release here but I’m quite sure I have enough fish already.

I sure hope I never get to old to go fishing. I think it’s the only that keeps me sane.
