Arrived in Islamorada at 2:30 a.m. Monday, the 25th of October. We layed around for a couple of days recuperating from that butt kickin' we gave Oklahoma and the Homecoming festivities! Still basking in the glow! So....to celebrate CTM's 60th trip around the sun we took Feeding Frenzy III fishing on Wednesday, the 27th. After listening to Cap'n Skip Bradeen's fishing report we thought perhaps we should lay out a package of fish for dinner before we left but I reminded CTM that the first sailfish (of course not edible but fun to catch) he ever caught was on his birthday a few years back so off we went. It was really windy and rough. My theory on those kind of days is to head into the wind until you can't stand it anymore and you will always have a nice ride home....so we did! Not long after we started trolling the shotgun took off like a rocket. Thought....well hoped....it was a Wahoo but turned out to be a really big Bonita. Threw him back and continued on. We did manage to boat a couple of really nice dolphin. Ended up with about 8 pounds of filets so we had fresh Mahi for CTM's 60th birthday dinner at Bentley's.
It was DELISH!
I just read that the charges have been dropped against those 30 fans who were arrested for trespassing on the field after the Mizzou game last Saturday. Probably 15,000 fans were on the field and the cops decided to try to make an example out of 30 of them!!!! Deja vu..... I was glad that there weren't any red and white flags flying nearby!!!! I never go to Columbia without a big stash of cash in my pocket....with CTM and "Mini Me" sitting side by side these days I never know when I might need it!!!!
Catch you on the flip flop....
