Miss Me?......

How's it going S-B? I was bummed I missed plug fest this year. I can only imagine some of you must be dying for the return of the striper. Even with all the great fishing here, I still miss New England. Here's a little catch up on the last two months.

Capt. Alan came down for a show and we did a 3 day camp n fish everglades trip with Capt Joey Leclair for test his new 5" pintail in FL. It was an awesome trip with some decent fish considering the weather we had. If you never done a trip like this I recommend it. We saw 5 boats in 3 days and 170 miles of travel. AWESOME!!!!

Couldn't let you sneak back in without a razz of some kind....must still be thunderstorming in FL otherwise you'd be out fishing and not posting pics on SB.

The benefits of camping/fishing in the Everglades is that you can reach areas that they day-boaters have a tough time getting to because it takes so long from the ramps at Flamingo and Chokoloskee ... and you can extend your fishing hours tremendously ... we typically camped on sites up inside on the ground rather than the chickees, although we always had to hang our food from the trees do to racoons, rats, etc. Love winter camping in the Everglades ... lots of fun. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Roy, thanks for posting, I'm wicked jealous

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Yes, Roy Leyva , the next Spanish Fly

or some variation thereof maybe the Fish Whisperer or something
maybe we should email Shimano and the Outdoor Channel
I think you'd be great at it Roy, you're a natural

I figured Roy would be a lock to win Top Hooker if he got on that TV show, speaking of that when is that gonna be on?

Thanks everyone, glad you all enjoyed the photos. Florida fishing is awesome! But stripers are still pretty amazing. I'll be back in June for them lol..... But for now theirs a ton more species for me to catch here.

Someone asked of the peacocks, yes florida has a sustained population. Mostly in the Miami area. Such an awesome fish to catch. I'm about two hours away, but still try to make it once every two weeks to get my fill. Also lots of exotics to catch.

As far as a tv show, who knows maybe someday someone will put me on tv lol Thanks!
