Loc: Navarre, FL. (Panhandle of FL)
Greetings to All, I am a new member of your forum and I look forward to learning and maybe contributing a little tid-bit from time to time.
My name is G8r and I live in the Panhandle region of Florida approximately 20 miles East of Pensacola in Florida's Best Kept Secret, Navarre, the home of the most beautiful water and beaches on Earth.
My son lives over in my hometown, Chiefland, FL. He and I co-own an airboat and we primarily fish the mouth of the Suwannee for redfish, specks, flounder, snook, and what ever comes swimming by our area.
I look forward to learning and sharing with you folks and to a long and mutually rewarding fellowship.

How very fortunate you are.
Except for hurricanes, some of the best fishing in America there.

Wellcome Bull and very envious of your area. Stationed at Hurlburt Field back in the day and hated leaving. Another gentleman on here will probably reach out to you soon, that lives down there. Some fantastic fishing there and that white sand, breathtaking. Tight Lines please post a picture some time showing that gulf and white sand.

Howdy, G8r I'm just up the road from your boy in Chiefland Not far from Branford. Now I see you live out there in god's country. Have you fished around Eglin AFB any? Plumbob and I stomped around some of the same areas about 10 or so years ago (he's still a little wet behind the ears yet).

Hi Plumbob, Thank you for that warm welcome, I appreciate it.
So, you spent some time around here at Hurlburt AFB. There are some mighty fine American heroes there we are all indebted to for our freedoms. I get to see lots of Airmen and I hear them daily dropping their weapons and firing those Gatlin guns that sound like the popcorn popper at the movies. What did that Ol' Loggie say, "I love the sound and smell of bombs and fuel every morning." I was in the Navy and rode the boats (submarines) for my career. When I got out in '67 I went into the defense/aerospace industry and finally retired in 2013 off of Eglin AFB as a contractor. I might as well have stayed in the Navy because my job took us all over and we lived in 19 different states and the Marshall Islands out in the middle of the Pacific. I loved every minute of it and dont regret a minute of my life.
I have fished and hunted all of my life. My father was one of the early game wardens here in Florida and he taught me most of what I know about both of these wonderful sports and addictions.
Like I said earlier, I look forward to sharing stories and lies with all of you. Maybe some day we can share an adventure and make the grease smoke up that favorite skillet we use for everything.
I look forward to talking with you again and to hearing from your friend that lives in these parts. I will do my best to post some photos of this beautiful area and who knows, maybe a few keepers that committed suicide.
Tight lines, fair winds, and following seas.

Yep wet, compared to some of us older farts. A fowl can't stand up the first time until it is dry behind it's ears.

" Wet behind the ears " I am going to take that as a compliment guys. Makes me feel younger. You all can call me anything but late for dinner.
