Debate or not, I buy ethanol free fuel for my lawnmowers and my boat. But around here yes it is more expensive at the docks, so I got to a gas station that has a seperate ethanol free pump.

Glad you are enjoying yourself and your boat. I like to think that we are more friendly because more of us are Christians than other parts of the country. Around my area there is a church on every block, lol.

Regardless of the reason, though it is nice that people help each other, give fishing advice and are generally more friendly.

first time I went to riverbreeze park - just to check it all out,i was walking around and a gentleman was pulling his mako flats boat up the ramp.that gentleman said hi to me and proceeded to tell me all about his trip,what he caught,right down to drawing on a piece of scrap paper where he was fishing,and where he mainly fishes in the lagoon
I thanked him !

another older gentleman was walking around,he greeted me and gave me an incredible amount of advice on the mosquito lagoon area.

first time I fished that area on the maverick,when I got back to the ramp - a gentleman asked me how I did - he told me of a little know technique to catch grouper - gag grouper in that area

I can not believe how people down here share so much information !


fishing the ponce inlet in the maverick,got back to the ramp @ dark - a pontoon boat was dead - dead batteries,i offered him a quick tow around the island to his house/dock - towed him around,after we got there - I thought the guy was going to offer me a kidney,just for helping him out !
