Try them, you won't be disappointed! White flakey sweet meat!

Have a look here: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navc...ides+in+orlando If you can find a guide that offers bass fishing with live Shiners you will catch more and bigger fish!

If you're closer to shore, it only means you won't have to swim as far to reach it! Being in a small boat in rough water isn't usually that much fun, and the fishin' isn't usually very good either. Use the windy days to work on/clean your boat and to clean and lubricate your reels, sharpen your hooks, check your line, organize your tackle box...

Very nice report, pics, and fish Steve!!! ... and it does look like you're fixin' to be attacked by a herd of Tsunami's on the horizon!

Yer killin' me Sam!!! Although I'm not able to make it up there this year... I'd be much obliged for any Wall-ice porn you can post!

Bluegill meat is sugar sweet!!!

15-25 mph winds on big open water like that would prolly be more like a roller coaster ride than a boat ride.

Cliff's speaking of food reminded me... although I haven't been to Cuba, I've been to littl Cuba (Miami). Try the Black beans and yellow rice, Picadilla steak, and Conch fritters while you're there... some good eats!!!

I haven't fished in Cuba, but I've done my share of fishin' in the Caribbean and on saltwater charters. If you want to do a charter, go down to the docks when the boats come in and hang around. Look at the catches the boats bring in, a lot of charters are just boat rides... the trolling charters are notorious for this! See if you can find a bottom fishing charter for Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack (the AJ's will pull your arms out of the sockets!). A good bottom fishing charter will troll (high speed) out to the bottom fishing spot. There probably aren't any saltwater regs down there, contact your resort. There are still states in the U.S that still don't have saltwater regs or license requirements. If you decide to take some tackle, take your heaviest spinning gear (saltwater fish are big and tough!). Take large white X-Raps and silver spoons for 'Cudas and Tarpon. Take 1-2 oz. egg sinkers, swivels, and and assortment of hooks up to 3/0 size for surf casting. Use shrimp or squid for bait. Try to catch small fish first and then use them for live bait for 'cuda, Tarpon, Snapper, and Grouper/Hinds. Beware of these fish!!! http://www.sportfishingkeywest.com/catch_d...pion%20fish.JPG They have a very nasty sting!!! Hope this helps!

I use the Weather Channel internet site down here, they're as good as any and I like their radar. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/35096...archbox_localwx

The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. THE END The Ant & The Grasshopper THE CANADIAN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool,and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. So far, so good, eh? The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like him, are cold and starving. The CBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper, with cuts to a video of the ant in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food. Canadians are stunned that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty. The NDP, the CAW and the Coalition Against Poverty demonstrate in front of the ant's house. The CBC, interrupting an Inuit cultural festival special from Nunavut with breaking news, broadcasts them singing "We Shall Overcome." Sven Robinson rants in an interview with Pamela Wallin that the ant has gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share". In response to polls, the Liberal Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant's taxes are reassessed, and he is also fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers. Without enough money to pay both the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. The ant moves to the US, and starts a successful agribiz company. The CBC later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the ant's food, though Spring is still months away, while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain it. Inadequate government funding is blamed, Roy Romanow is appointed to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10,000,000. The grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose, the Toronto Star blames it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity. The abandoned house is taken over by a gang of immigrant spiders, praised by the government for enriching Canada's multicultural diversity, who promptly set up a marijuana grow op and terrorize the community.

I have great success with pink lures in colder water temperatures! ... but wearing it while fishing??? Looks like it worked for this Old Fart when he caught the world record Brown Trout!

Those Hoser Gals will do anything for a laugh eh!!!
