Still Matlucha,FL

We really love when we find a place worth staying at !!..Extended our stay at Sea Isle Resort on Matchula Island for a month..We're West of N Ft Meyers, FL  and the weather has been staying a steady 70+  even though it's gone down to the 30's in Floridas panhandle..Got just about enough light wind to keep any no-see-ums away and that's all right with us..Got some new habits started, been fishing a lot and found out we have a lot to learn about fishing in Florida..In order to learn how and when, I've been prowling morning, noon & night around the bridge and docks here and asking any fisherman ( oops, I mean ''person) what they are doing, how to bait, how to rig and everyone has a different system,,,HHMMMM  !!..so I guess we'll just take all the suggestions and use them all !!( gonna need a gazillion more rods)..we've been able to see manatees and dolphins and stingrays almost every day..A new bridge is being built right next to the existing one and it's interesting to watch the construction..Found a local pub that has a happy hour and another bar within walking distance with great entertainment..AAWWWW!!..Broke down and bought new rods & reels and new bait bucket and aireator to keep the shrimp bait alive..so far we've caught flaunder, trout, blowfish (wierd), and a few fish we know nothing about..found out none of the Northern people do either !!..I hope we're more knowledgeable in a few weeks..Hope you all are as happy as you can be...Happy Island Time !!  REMEMBER..LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY...Charlie & Heather
