Just make sure Beth's does not find it and try to use it on us for making a mess again

I originated this thread and wound up with a 15 CC. It took a lot of looking and boats being sold before I could look at them to wind up with mine. Sounds like you guys do some awesome fishing. I am in the central Florida area, north of Orlando. I am about a mile from the St. Johns and really want to get out to the flats at some point. I have heard awesome things about Mosquito lagoon. I need to learn how to fish Florida. I grew up fishing on the coast of South Carolina but that was a long time ago and I, unfortunately, have forgotten more than my stepdad ever taught me. I am thinking at some point I will go out with a guide. But for now I am having a good time playing with my boat and fishing. Maybe soon I will start catching too.

Jim and I are into the jungle warfare that is for sure Now if you want to "learn" some of our tactics since you can access much of the same water as us, I would first recommend digging through the Flats Section of the site

And then book at trip with CA Capt. C.A. Richardson ? Professional Fishing Instruction and Guide Serviceto learn from the Master for one trip alone, will save you years worth of weekends trying to learn by mistake

I would not go with CA though until you read over Dr. Adams book "Fisherman's Coast" so you get a good mental picture of what is under your feet when floating on your boat. To me that is really the first step before booking a trip so you can ask good questions on that trip with him.

It is the 90/10 rule for sure... 10% of the fishermen get 90% of the fish and 90 % of the water does not have any fish so you have to find that 10% of water first that does if you hope to land any
