Doyle was walking with his girlfriend, when he thought to tell her a joke. he said, 'A doctor walks into a bar and he says.... Then the girl said, It has to be a man? 'Okay a female doctor walks into a bar.... once again the girl interrupted, 'A woman smart enough to be a doctor would not be in a bar. 'Okay she was at a baseball game when..... Then the girl said, 'A strong independent woman would not be at a baseball game. 'Okay, A female doctor was sitting in the beauty salon.... 'Oh, so because she is a woman she has to be in a salon?' The girl said. Then Doyle had gave up. he said. 'Nevermind the joke wasn't that funny. After walking for a little minute. the girl said. 'And I bet he was white to wasn't he? you R****t B*$!_%#.






That hit too close to home to be funny.







Doyle broke up with her, but be honest, wouldn't You?

All I want to do is catch a red. I live in Sarasota, FL and red fish are one of the best and most exciting fish to catch in the gulf here. Or that’s what they tell me. Took me ten years of living here to finally be able to buy an old used boat. I spent weeks working on it and learning about motors to get it water ready. I saved and saved and finally got a nice minnkota for it. I’ve been slowly upping my gear and I fish probably 5-6 hrs a week which as a full time working father of two is all I can manage.

I go hunting for reds every time. I hear about where someone caught one, what they used, what the tide was doing and so on. I make a plan and I bust ass to get me one.

Today I found the sweetest little nook behind some mangroves. Lo and behold as I round the corner I see a charter captain with a bunch of tourists chumming up the waters and having them throw live bait out. This teenage girl that looks like she’s never held a rod in her life reeled in the biggest red fish I’ve ever seen. Had to have been 36” or more. Monster.

I know I shouldn’t be this upset and should be happy for her but goddamn. I don’t want to use live bait, I fished with shrimp for years here and there’s really not much challenge or sport to it. I’ve been catching tons of trout and jacks and a few snook on spoons, jigs, DOAs and so on but cannot find a Red.

I used to fly fish when I lived in the mountains so I’ve started doing that here too. Haven’t caught anything with it yet, been too windy lately to use it much.

Doesn’t help my father in law lives an hour south of me and constantly texts me pictures of the reds he’s getting.

Anyway, needed to get that off my chest and this place felt like a good spot.
