About Buddy:

I am a father of 3 and happily married. Fishing to me is more than sport , its memories. My first memory is located on Ocean pond located in northeast Florida. We would get the boat ready on friday and wake up at 6 am , and be on the water at 7. Large mouth bass and brim were the norm. These brim ate very well though. 8 inches long and inch and a half thick is a nice little dinner piece. Tucked away amongst the cypress trees in the Oceola national forest. My second memory was Horseshoe beach Fl. This town has never had more than 170 people in its whole exsistance. This memory is located on the gulf coast of Florida in the big bend region. It was a timber town est. in 1860's. It has one general store one post office one restraunt and one marina. To get to this gem is on a 2 lane highway out of crosscity for about 35 miles. There no cops because there is never any trouble. We would stay at the marina in the cabins they offered for the weekend. Now this trip took a little planning. The week before my dad and I would go to garage sales and locate zebco 33's 433's and 808's for 2 to 5 dollars. Back then zebco offered a lifetime warrenty. We would return them and get them brand new. Buy a 6 to 7 foot rod for 5 to 10 bucks and you were set. My father is in a wheelchair and on a fixed income so you do what you have to do. Thats why the pontoon boat was a good wheel chair fisher
