I agree he's very good... but it's tuff making a living as an artist, anyway my daughter moved on but they remain good friends. BTW he's available and he's very reasonable.

I commissioned my daughter's ex-boyfriend last year to sketch an old 1974 photo that I took of my buddy (not shirtless) getting shrimp at Alabama Jacks from a dock hand. We had rented a wood skiff with I believe a 10hp motor to fish the finger channels for snapper and Card Sound for seatrout...

Yea did the Whale Harbor buffet countless times, also the Coral Grill. Let me tell you something... they make a big deal about the Green Turtle, well it's overrated IMO. Rather stop at Hobos Café any day, never had a bad meal there... and the service is great.

I have dozens of stories about Alabama Jacks. Back in the day they were famous for their crab cakes... used to look forward to getting some after a fishing trip. If I was fishing the lower keys I still would go by to eat and drink there on the way back to Miami.

By week is fishing week!

Yes sir I used to fish those island channels in the keys in the 70's also. Had a friend that had a 14 ft' aluminum with a 15 hp and we'd get in there easily. And yes they were loaded with mangos. But also at that time we used to rent the old wooden boats that had live wells in the middle from...

That's a great story... thanks!

Like I was saying... I believe if I take my wife backwater fishing to Chokoloskee/Everglades City where there isn't waves and mostly you're fishing around islands, that she wouldn't get sick. You never navigate in open water, the dock/ramp is surrounded by inland passes and islands.

**** bro... fvck that... isn't there some kind of operation to cure it. What if you burn one before and during the trip?

You do know that most of those mates are cretins. When my 20 year old son goes on those boats with me I give him Dramamine before sailing.... just because he fears getting sick cause he's never been on a boat and puked before. I have never ever gotten sick on a boat, and never have taken any...

I just read this post from yesterday. In the 70's I caught a couple of flounders while fishing for reds, sheepsheads, snook, etc. on the outside islands of Chokoloskee… and I caught a big flounder around the same time while bottom fishing from a bridge in the Keys... believe it was Tavernier...

That's my favorite party boat, on mm 77.5. But they cancel a lot on me and that's what happened last night.

Wow getting sick on the water is a shame... my wife of 12 years can't deal with motion sickness either, she puked her brains out the one time she went on a party boat. I believe that she would be ok fishing back water in Everglades City/Chokoloskee since it's not open water. But after Hurricane...

I had an old friend that passed away who lived in S. Carolina and would gig flounders in shallow river inlets in sandy bottom. I believe they won't go into brackish water and stay in mostly salty water. Do you go fishing in the DR?

Never caught or ate one. I always have known it as stripped bass. I do know that they can live in freshwater, and have been introduced into many man-made lakes around the country when they dammed rivers.

Is this what you are calling rockfish?

Yea... I like southern fish that are versatile (snappers, groupers, dolphin, cobia, snook and others.) Firm flesh fish can be fried, baked or broiled. For instance flounder is good fish but it's only good to bake cause it's very soft flesh and falls apart. However, sea bass is a fish that's not...

Big difference with Florida and Virginia fishing. What have you caught there in the past that's good table fair.

Ok I ain't going to second guess what tricks a proven captain employs... I guess the mangroves start moving up similar to yellows in the frenzy with chum. I've done well by staying down but I'd be interested to try that tactic on good bottom like you explained, when if ever I get another boat. I...

No the captain stood me up. And to add insult to injury, my truck battery went bad and I had to wait and hour to get a jump from a guy... thank God the alternator was good to return to Miami.
