Chilly?
 

I packed my bag for the Florida Keys trip today. I also went online and purchased a Florida fishing license. Sooooo, after I did all of the above, I took the wife out for lunch and a quick trip past our marina and over to Ft. Smallwood Park to check out the affects of "global warming" on the environment:eek:

First photo is Bodkin Creek. It is frozen all the way across.

This second photo was taken looking from Ft. Smallwood Park to Brandon Shores power plant.

Sorry the photo came out sideways:)

Can't find that in the Keys!!

Glad I got my boat out before it froze....

:eek:

Just under 72 hours to the upper 70's and low 80's.....

Great minds must think alike...I finished packing a couple of hours ago...

Don,

Hope you are ready for us !

:)

Have fun guys. Catch 'em up. I'm not jealous at all, I love snow and ice.

Screw you. Hope you choke on the umbrella in your tropical drink.

You guys picked a great week to visit Don. Enjoy the warmth and fishing. Can you bring back some stone crabs?

Since you are almost there - a side trip to Key West is a must do.

Bare Assets - is well worth a stop. :):) or so I've heard. Ask for a 151 body shot - then duck.

Pretty sure my photo is still posted on the wall :D

Skip,

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of spring break's in key west...Lost my mind a few times at Fat Tuesday's...Won a couple of contests there with some friends along the way....

Enjoyed one too many beers at Hog's Breath, had my cheeseburger at Margaritaville, and drank round the clock catching the sunrise on Smather's Beach and the sunset at Mallory Square....

From what I remember, Key West was awesome...

I did not get to take in a place like Bare Assets...But that is one damn good idea for this week !

Thanks !

It's a fun place - their slogan is - southern most strip club in the USA.

About a mile north of the main drag - easy parking.

We spent the day in Key West yesterday as matter of fact. Past on the 151 shots but did get my fill of cold beer at Schooner Wharf Bar and had the biggest damn blackened grilled dolphin sandwich I have ever had. Here is a pic of another favorite place in KW:

Had a visitor today while I was flushing my motor after a reef trip; If you click on the photo it should take you to a quick video:

That's really cool. Do they fight hard on a BKD:D

When I bought my Florida license online, I didn't get a booklet. How many manatees are you allowed each day:eek:

Don, I'm thinking that isn't the only ugly visitor you get in the next week or so! :eek: :D

One per angler per day and they taste like chicken:D

If I was posting this response over on TF I would have to be sure to fully explain that .....THIS IS A JOKE:rolleyes:

LOL....good one Jeff:D

Don , I can see you and Dawn trailering up I-95 next month somewhere around Georgia and looking over at each other - then doing a U turn back to Florida.

That is too cool having a Manatee under the engine.

Knowing Dawn - she is feeding it lettuce by hand.

Hey Don,
With the bitter cold up here in Maryland maybe I ought to go check on Dawn's resident deer herd to see how they are doing:D

Just kidding Dawn:o

Don, Mike, and Marty,

Don't be too jealous down there in the Keys this week, it's a Balmy 50* here on the shore right now and there is no snow or ice in the forecast ALL Day!!! :D Now here tomorrow, that's a different story but who cares, I am headed to Cleveland! :confused:

Hope you gentlemen are having a great time! Catch 'em up!!
