This is Camp Puhbah, we roughed it for a few days ;D

Had a great time, fished like crazy, found them, at least some including what looked like a school of cobia right under the boat. But no matter what we did and no matter what we gave them to eat they were not interested. Live bait, shrimp, bunch of diffrent spoons plugs jigs they were'nt having any.
This is cast master Reelapeelin doing his net dance, he was pretty good at it too, for an old guy :D brought up a couple but bait was deeper than the net would grab, they were very skittish too. We caught most of our live bait with sabiki rigs and my small tackle rod with a small hook and pieces of cut shrimp.

Water was so clear I thought I was in the Caribean, could see down 30-40 feet anywhere you looked, found birds working a few times but the bait was not coming high enough to cast net them

Let me tell you I love the V's but Reel Crabby is the foshizzle for where Franco is at

Though the water can get a little skinny, thank God due to my retirement status I was able to delegate the shallow water ballet to the senior gentlemen this time ;D

Franco's brother Bill is a cool guy, when it comes to building boats He is the Grand Puhbah and is funny as sh!t. Took us on a grand tour of how they build boats at Pursuit. Let me tell you I found out what you pay for when you buy a premium boat like them. Incredible, and they use the best stuff money can buy at every turn, learned a lot about why things are done the way they are. Bill actually built my V20, worked as Wellcraft's glass/hull builder 81-87 or so.Can't show you the pics from inside the factory as it might cause him some problems but can show these.Franco and brother

Wish I had pics of fish to post, caught a couple of pint size grouper, I am sure Ozzie will be happy to post those ::)
Had a great time, Robin took good care of us, came home a few pounds heavier than I left with. Ate out at Captain Hirams a couple of times, great spot. Wanted to stay the last night and party with the girls dancing but Ozzie and the Puhbah dragged me out before I got myself in trouble, I left a little bit in the Jack Daniels bottle just so they would remember I was there.
Franco made up some sweet T shirts for our get together and Hammer sent us a little something fed ex which brought a good laugh. Thanks Hammer ;) Pics to follow when Ozzie gets on, he took a bunch of other shots for you guys.
Thats all the news that's fit to print 8)
