I think ny Florida is the Gulf Ocean coast, right beside Margaritaville. And I heard dey got great grouper, but I'm not sure what kind or how dey cook it.

Caught 2 of the smallest rainbow trout you’ve ever seen yesterday in the little river in Townsend.

Man I love it here

Nothing to really brag about today. Flounder, mullet, and I did catch a big blue crab.

One red, some catfish, grunts. Probably biggest cat I've caught here, almost pulled my new rod in. I was certain it was a big red, but nope.

Tide coming in now, hopefully catch more of these, and bigger

You need some big reds so you can filet them and blacken them. You're welcome.

All we did to the trout was chop the head, clean 'em. Salt, pepper, stuffed with sliced lemon and grilled. MMmmm.

Blackened Redfish quite possibly best meal I've had, and I love grouper and snapper so that says alot.

I'm home. We weren't gonna fish tomorrow (technically today), so we just headed back. Had a fun time the whole trip, but getting into those reds today was fun, despite being small ones. I did hook a pretty decent shark, the fight lasted maybe 3 seconds , I doubt I would've landed it with a steel leader. I put one on after he broke me off, but he never hit again. Cedar key is fixing to have a new sandwich at the little sandwich shop. We weren't very hungry, so ate there. The lady had made bbq, and I had ordered the grilled cheese. I smooth talked her into putting some of the BBQ on my grilled cheese. She thought that sounded good, so she asked my name, and said she was adding a sandwich to the menu, and naming it after me
