first the forecast...

muggy, cloudy day with a high rain coverage. 60% of the area will see thunderstorms mainly in the afternoon and early evening hours. some of you will see mid-morning and midday thunderstorms as the atmosphere heats up.

rain chances come way down and even the high temperatures will drop to mid 80's by the middle of the week and stay there through the upcoming weekend.

 

now the fun....

thank you to everyone who came out to support the florida sheriff's youth ranches at sheriff ben johnson's battle of the badges this weekend in new smryna beach. my band had a wonderful time playing there again this year, and i had a great time fishing again with the sheriff.

check out my new profile pic and that is one of the two monster redfish we caught saturday. mine was a 20 lb red, and the sheriff caught a 24 lb red.

if you want to catch fish like that then call my friend captain dennis cox at 386-299-7675. for two years in a row he has had us pull out 20 lb reds in two completely different locations. this captain will get you on the fish!!

have a great week!

Whoo-hoo! Fish dinner at Jim's house! I'll bring the lemon!

You just want to show off your chest - you're not fooling me.

Did you know redfish are also called Red Drum?
