Fishy, Fishy..where for art thou??..Matlacha,FL

Just realized it been over a week since last blog..don't mean to leave everyone hangin' , but time goes by when you're haveing fun !!..The weather has almost been too good, getting a great tan is part of the fun here..Remember in the last blog I said we'd try to learn about  the methods to fish here? Well, we seem to be doing well in that area..Between fishing on our dock and the bridge and going out on a boat with a new friend, Bruce, we've caught more fish than the law oughta allow!! I guess you never realize how uninformed the yankee mind is til you discover there's fish down here you've never even heard of !! You learn that dolphins love homo sapiens and will follow your boat for hours..We see manateees and their youngins from the bridge on a regular basis and sting ray pods too!! Is that cool or what?? I've learned that our "live" shrimp bait must be aereated or they don't last too long...we've almost got enough ocean trout in the freezer for a fish fry...I met a young fellow on the bridge that seems "mentally challenged" that seems to be the most successful...(so I study his methods)..Our travel friends, Mike & Charlotte, from Illinois,  pulled in last Monday and we've all had a great visit and conversations this week..We are becoming "regulars" at a couple places within walking distance and are enjoying the musical entertainment a few steps away..The manager of the RV park (Sea Isle Resort), Carl, has been so cool and helpful that it makes the visit here extremely comfortable..The owner of the park, Glenn, makes ya feel at home too..everyone here has been very friendly and we're glad we extended our stay for the month !!..I remember the 1st day here..we were told "It's Island Time", now we know what they meant !..Now I suppose I should set up the coffee for the morning and get comfortable for the night..Miss all of you, wish you were here..REMEMBER..LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY...Charlie & Heather..
