I'd love to hit SW Florida this Spring, but don't see it in the cards financially just yet - but never say never, I guess.

I have cousins down in Cape Coral and I've fished that whole Sanibel, Captiva, Pine Island Sound and Estero area - it's a great fishery.

A friend of mine also just bought a house in Naples a few months ago, guess there are some great deals to be had on the Repo Riviera right now.

Of course, he won't be heading down there for a while - he's going to Costa Rica for a coupla weeks the middle of this month.

I don't know whether to

or just fish-slap him when he gets back...

I would like to take the Crazy One up on his offer to fish Montauk with him in the Fall - that would be a great trip, haven't been there since I surfed the Hamptons, Ditch Plains and Shinnecock Inlet in the '60's.

It's probably changed a little since then...

Ya think?
