I'm brand new to this forum so treat me gently. LOL!!! Seriously I'm from Daytona Beach, Fl and have been primarily fishing the north central coast of Florida since I was a kid and offshore mostly out of Ponce Inlet. A lot has changed since I started fishing with my dad in the '40s mostly that the fishing has become more difficult due to fishing pressure, even offshore. I have 3 boats, a 10' dinghy for shallow creeks, a 23' Slickcraft cuddy cabin OB for inlet and near shore and a 48' Ocean SS sportfisherman for offshore trips which I recently purchased and brought down from Cape May, NJ. And although an "old timer" I'm always open to new ways and spots to fish. So I'll be checking in periodically and looking forward to being a contributing member of the forum.
