Thanks all for the kind words.

As far as using the beagle for bait, that's strictly a no-no... but talk to me the next time she craps in my house.

Rick - where you at in Vero? I used to go fishing down there a lot at Round Island park. We'd launch my Gheenoe into the surf and take it out to the outside edge of the reef for lobster and spearfishing. I know a good snapper hole or two out there, and once accidently almost gave an 8' nurse shark a rectal exam.

BP - please elaborate on the skishing at Montauk, sounds like an awesome time.

As far as Andy's claim that I'm an authority on surf fishing down here... well he might be right about that... but remember, the greatest thing about surf fishing is that, if done correctly, it's mostly sitting on the beach and drinking beer.

Tingspon Kyart, the legendary Jamaican surf fisherman, has this to say when there is an East wind blowing lots of sargasso weed up on the beach:

"Sometimes it best for a mon to just sit 'pon de beach and smoke ganja"

Well, it is good to know that you are not an incredibly talented beagle. Welcome aboard!

vfr... tough question for a connoisseur... I'll see if I can sum it up. This being the winter season, I'd have to say that my top few in no particular order are:

1 - Bulleit Bourbon on ice

2 - Drambuie on ice

3 - Vodka and fresh squeezed Florida pink grapefruit

4 - Miller High Life (this is as important to surf fishing as bait)

5 - San Sebastian Port

This list changes during the summer time, when I tend to like Green Isaacs Specials and Barbancourt Rhum.
