Hello I'm new to the forum. I fish mainly in South Florida but visit Britain frequently.

Gentlemen thank you for the warm welcome to a very informative site. Interestingly I found your forum when I did a Google search for “Wind on Leaders” and was directed to several great articles by Nick Drakes in the Rigging section of WSF.
In answer to your question Mike, Marcus was correct. I live between Charlotte Harbor and Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys.
Question for you, how does one insert a photo in a post?

 

[blueskip]

Come on now! do we really want Photos from the Florida Keys? They will be all sunshine, palm trees, crystal clear water, big fish, tanned, "cosi-clad" angler, with a tatty straw hat, holding up a 100lb beach caught tarpon or something similar!
I feel bad enough as it is, without having to hate somebody from paradise!
Oh to win the lottery, so that little fat old bloke, with the suntan & the daft hat, could be ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Blindhog do you allow your friends to stay for free??????????

 

[paid4]

Blindhog think very carefully about that one or you'll have nearly 2000 new British "friends" rocking up on you're doorstep lol

ps welcome to the best site on the net

 

[Fred]

Some of us wouldn't dream of asking our new member to put us up in his house. It would be an absolute cheek. However,....... if he had a little space in his garden shed, well now, that's a different matter.

[poacher]

fred. i am not stayin in a bloody shed. no way m8y........

 

[Fred]

Your too fussy Poach

Fred

 

[paid4]

Umm Florida fishing, stay in shed, hell I'll take under the bush at the bottom of the garden but then I'm just a regular poster you moderators probably want something better-***** star hotels maybe, someone to bait your hooks and supply you with cold beer perhaps lol only joking poach love you really

Come on now! do we really want Photos from the Florida Keys holding up a 100lb tarpon?

You raise two interesting issues Skippy. First of all no pictures of Tarpon, but how about a 40# Dorado, or a YFT?

Secondly fishing in Florida would not be an unreasonable objective. I'm sure that you could make it work.

 

[blueskip]

Blindhog, can you imagine "er indoors" allowing me to take a fishing rod to Florida, she would be more likely to let me go for a weeks holiday in a nudist camp!
blueskip
PS see I told you all he would be gutting us all with his fish, "not a 100lb tarpon but a 40lb+ Dorado & Yellow Fin Tuna"!
Well listen mate I had a tuna sandwich last night from a John West tin, nice it was too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fred]

Blueskip,

A bit of dexterity and flair, otherwise known as cunning, is required. Women use it all the time. Just find a place with lots of marks near a shopping mall. Then your'e both happy. Mind you, it makes the holiday very expensive.

Fred

 

[paid4]

Mmmmm Florida 'er indoors has been nagging me to take her and the kids there for ages now where's that advert for the Shimano travel rod: Dorado, tampons etc here I come

 

[paid4]

Oh sh***********t me and my big mouth guess where I'll be this Summer? 2 long drawn out weeks in bloody Disneyland and if I mention fishing she'll strap me to the its a small world ride and for those of you who don't know what that is let me put it this way- if Saddam Hussein had had a couple of those there would be no discussion as to whether he had WMDs. Sorry lads I can't stand it I think I'm going to the pub I'm too depressed even to fish

 

[blueskip]

Roller, its Tarpons you clown! "er indoors" would have a real problem with a 40lb Tampon, (I aint even thinking of going there), but doubtless it will start a thread to fuel the imaginations of some of you!!!!!!!!!!!!
