re: IM wondering if we stopped the drinking threads

I hear nothing but good things about the Suzuki. To be fair, I've had Mercury and Yamaha motors in the past and not had trouble with either of them.

Nice boat Lanier. Seen a ton of Tidewater boats down there this past week on vacay. Get a upper control station on that beauty for tarpon site fishing. I’d keep your eye open for a house in San Remo Shores (Cortez, FL). Easy access to ICW, wide canals, and nice docks at every house. Awesome location for everything and don’t have to contend with island traffic. Also we caught several Goliath grouper at 3mile North reef along with what I think could have been a state record Nassau grouper. Don’t give up on the offshore/nearshore bottom fishing in that rig along with tarpon bite in June along the beaches. Good luck with the move, I’m jealous as hell...congrats.

Here is a link to keep checks on the red tide Red TideIt is coming into AMI now wasn't there earlier this week. Palma Sola now showing some signs of low but am sure it will climb with the heat. I-75 will always be a beast at times. Problem is we are growing by leaps and bounds but the road infra is not able to keep up.

What is a good fishing pole for a beginner to learn and grow into? I don’t want one that is heavy duty enough for brim. Or something that offers limited flexibility.

Haven’t been fishing since I was a kid but now have the time to go after some bass and catfish.
First, caster or spinning reel?

Specific brand? Kastking has some nice rod and reel combos.

Hope your search went well. Have you found a place to rent for living and business yet?

Depends on what you will be doing with it. Dropshot or worm? 7' no question. Skipping a senko, 6'6" or maybe smaller.

I had some 5'6" medium spinning rods built for me by a guy here at work. They are specifically for the Cahaba River. Tight quarters or the river and the canoe mandated this.

Im finally done. We have been at it hard since we got here Saturday afternoon. Looked at a bunch of places. Found a house to rent for a while. A little farther out east than I originally wanted but the inventory is low and I really liked this area. Out in the Tara area in The Preserve Golf Club. Nice house and it will do nicely till we buy something.



The place I told you about on Cortez rd ended up being perfect for me to put the tackle business in. It is clean, cheap, bright and in a great location. On Cortez near Applebees about 5 miles east of the 684 bridge. Near 42nd st. Will work out perfectly for us.






Our eventual goal is to get in Legends Bay. Im hoping by the end of the year or early next year, something will come available and we can jump on it once things cool down a little bit. We went there today and looked at two places and absolutely loved it. I think my wife has set her heart on getting in there so I will need to get that done


For now, we are set. Shut the business down in about 2 weeks, move it down then head back home for a week to finish packing up the house and follow the movers down on August 31. It is going to be a very busy month.

Wanna come over and help us unload the SpotSticker stuff and load it in the building in a few weeks?

I am trying to get my schedule set up now. Im thinking the 3rd week of August. Funny story I asked our realtor how we could get some labor to come help us unload for a day. Just wanted to pay for some help..
She has a daughter that goes to IMG. Her boy friend plays on the football team there and he and a couple of his teammates are interested.

Looks like 4 of them are coming after football practice to help us unload.
