    Speckled Sea Trout Trilogy

    Speckled trout were thick over the deeper seagrass beds near Homosassa and we had them for dinner at least every couple weeks. Filet, dip in beaten egg wash and roll in parmesan/Italian bread crumb mixture, fry on one side before flipping and adding some baby Swiss to melt on top. A squeeze of...

    What Are You Eating?

    Well that was a mistake. I waited 45 minutes for what may have been the worst $30 meal I have ever been served. Stay away from the goat curry unless you like what appeared to be 4 day old bone and gristle in a sauce that had the consistency of oatmeal. The picture on their website looks good but...

    What Are You Eating?

    It has a very unusual and creative name, "The Great Indian Cuisine" of all things. Don't know how that came up with that.

    What Are You Eating?

    I know my way around Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese menus pretty well and prepare a lot of it at home but I have been tempted to try a new Indian restaurant in town. In looking at the meal choices available it sounds interesting but nothing is at all familiar. Does anyone have any go to choices...

    As was said on the Belgian social media feed, "Overturn This."

    NFR World Cup

    I feel like my enthusiasm and excitement to watch this match has been stolen from me by a tasteless intrusion from the outside. And that certainly does a disservice to those who are leaving it all out on the pitch.

    NFR World Cup

    Even though the decision to reinstate Balogun may be warranted and justified the details of this influenced change sure makes the whole thing seem more than a little slimy and will cast a pall over the rest of the competition should the US side continue to advance. And if they do who do you...

    NFR New wildfires popping up on a daily basis!

    It lasted from about noon until after midnight here in Port Angeles. There is a local forum where residents were asked to respect the vets with PTSD, the pets and area wildlife by finding another way to celebrate the 4th. I found it interesting that those on the forum who felt their rights were...

    Celebrating Our 250th Anniversary

    I just read that the White House fireworks display on the 4th will be the largest, most beautiful, most spectacular and longest fireworks display ever created (no surprise there) consisting of some 850,000 pyrotechnics launched into our nations sky. It will, however, not be starting on time due...

    International Ordering Issues

    I was going to ship an old Hardy reel to Canada to be repaired until I was told that due to its value I would be charged not only for the repair but a tariff of I believe $400 to allow my own reel to be shipped back to me. Just for someone to attempt to score some political points.

    What Are You Eating?

    After a pretty good day decided to go with a favorite from my days of bone fishing travel. The Bahamian national dinner, cracked conch with black beans and rice.

    What Are You Eating?

    All this talk of moving made me hearken back to places I left long ago and I decided to make what used to be a South Georgia staple that I haven't enjoyed in years. Shrimp and cheese grits dressed with bacon bits and chopped scallions. I won't wait as long next time.

    Homemade risotto parmigiano with seared scallops and the perfunctory green accompanying accouterment.

    Favorite Sage Fly Rod

    With around 30 trips to Christmas Island I would guess my 789 RP has caught as many bonefish as any other single rod. Although not as easy to travel with being a two piece I still bring it anywhere I will be wade fishing for bonefish or redfish. It's a great rod for punching casts under the ever...
