Florida road trip

[fishaholic18]

Well my Dad finally retired and I'm taking a road trip with him to Florida to get his car down there. This is gonna suck, 1352 miles in a Mitsu Spider convertible..
At least I'll be in 80 deg. temps and fishing for a week I'll post pics when I'm there.

Just got back from sanibel island area. Cought pompano, snapper, a milliong ladyfish and sheepshead. Also had a fish on for about 2 mins that I couldnt move on my cheapo uglystick freshwater rod. My guess is a snook or a big pompano.
