re: This board is in drastic need of a IM thread

To be honest, I know very little about that area. WE will be in Rosemary beach in a few weeks. Will be looking for some recommendations for eats

I usually go to Santa Rosa Beach. Most places along that 30A Route are fantastic. The Naked Pig is a good one around there. Loves the beaches around there, never near as packed compared to PCB or Destin. I just wish they had more bars with draft beers and pool tables to do something at night.

Figured it was about time I snuck back in over here.

Preds Prospect game tonight (Friday) since I'm an addict and apparently playing into early June wasn't enough. Then family get-together for weekend before spending the next week at the lake.

Hanging around, prob grill out for 4th but on to Santa Rosa Beach next Thursday. Trying to keep the body in shape before then.

The weather has been really shitty here also.

Lanier here is a great article on Lake Guntersville being back to normal.

That lake can rise and fall like no other. With the presence or non presence of grass, it can really go up and down. I know it has been tough over there the past couple of years compared to what it was but it will come back. You can have so many fish per acre when you have all those flats with grass

Very different than Lanier where the fish roam and sustain in deep cover. Hope it comes back strong over there

Finally a sunny day in north Georgia. Weather has totally sucked the past few weeks..... Bout to put some ribs on the grill and fire up my bartender.....

Worked too much lately. Vacation approaching. Hope you all have a great holiday

Because Lanier avoids doing the touristy things and just lays around enjoying the views and refreshments.

Its all training my brother. You need training. I dont really hit my stride till about day 8 or so. Then I am tuned in, mind is focused and I am ready to let go.


IF you are not adjusted to being in the sun all day, it will absolutely drain you. Even though I do not stay in it as much as I have in the past, I am better than most. My wife has a harder time than me. After most of the day in the heat, she is pretty spent. It seems to catch up to her after dinner.

I usually save one day after we get home from a vacation like that to just sit around and recharge. One other thing that will help you on long relaxing vacations. Im talking mostly all inclusive type trips is to work out every single day. I usually get up every morning early ( cant ever sleep) and either hit the gym or run on the beach. My wife is a sleeper and likes to crash in and I am wide awake at 5 am anyway.

Working out in the gym during vacation helps me work off some of the food and liquid calories along with getting my body moving. Just sitting around all day is not normal for me so working out helps balance things out. Some days, I will run early on the beach then workout later in the day with my wife at the gym.... Really helps. Plus, working out on vacation is about the easiest thing ever. No other time in your life will you be able to just go to the gym with absolutely nothing else to do or on your mind.

Going to Florida this Saturday for 7 days. Just a little warm up for my big vacation coming up in 3 weeks or so....

How was Playa? Have not been there yet

Tona. Good guy
