Tracy & I headed to Florida today for a business meeting. I brought some fishing gear intending to wet a line in the eastern Gulf and the Atlantic but found myself with a new opportunity that I had not previously considered.
We crossed Tampa Bay on SR 92 and pulled off on the western shore to get some air and take some pictures. I was the photographer and Tracy was modeling her new sweater when right behind her was a big SPLASH!
I had to get a line in the water even thought I knew that my chances of success were slim to none.
Tracy took over the camera and did get some great shots of the shoreline and of me fishing!
We continued on to Pinellas Park and to the Gulf Beaches.
We drove south from Indian Shores through Redington Shores, Redington Beach, and Maderia Beach. We decided to park & get out for a walk and once again I proved that the Ultralight goes with me everywhere.
I wasn't getting quite the distance I needed but just wait until I pull out the big gun later this week. My 10ft surf rod with enough lead on the end will reach past the breakers!
I had a hard time exercising my Smith Driver training in this place:
I'm pre-programmed to back into parking places but it's not allowed on Maderia Beach!
Tomorrow promises to be a busy day but we are staying in a hotel right on the Manatee River.
You never know where I might be casting after supper tomorrow!

That ultralight is going to be more famous then the Green Hornet in Grumpy Old Men.
Phil and I walked some of those same shores earlier this year! No fishing though!
