Who needs a boat?
Two words.
Electric reel.

Glad the food is good. Do they cook your catch?

Wow, that's something else!

Ya see Admiral Marshtackie, that's how they build stilt homes up and around the bend from y'all.

Four big buckets of Pennzoil, and a whole mess of toothpicks. Notice all the triangles? Got engineers down there making these stilt homes strong...they don't sway as much when the fish are at play.

And they got some top notch caterers, too... wow - I have trouble getting a pizza delivered.

Nice stilt home Rusty, and congrats on the new gig, -- plan on having an open house soon???

Professor Gillie, You are right - them dang Coonasses can weld up some iron can't they? You are the one that taught me "It's hard to beat the structural integrity of a triangle, just ask the Egyptians!", I think!

That is one Petro-Chemical hunting bird dog ain't it. Kmoose is liable to set a new "AJ' personal record div'in under that thing. Gillie did you know there is a move to leave the near shore rigs in the Gulf, blown off at 55' below the surface as habitat, as a condition of the drilling permit. Of course it ain like Santa Barbara, most of the stuff is way off shore.

I have an Iron House - only one for miles around. Steel columns, roof rafters and bar joist floor framing. Built it in '81. It's real steady like those light houses out on the reef line in the Keys and the termites just got to keep mov'in on down the street. Got an extra bedroom too in case someone needs to scout out Port Manatee options or attend an aross the country CSC Gathering.

I'd dive that thing to 300 in a second. I bet that things got willies on it that would scare you to pull the trigger on.

Kenny, It's never good to be simultaneously pulling the trigger and be thinking "this is going to hurt"! Remember, Do not pick on things that are bigger that you are down there. They break things like spearguns and thumbs. They swim real good and you are on "life support".
