Adventures in the Everglades: February 2009

http://beachcamper.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Adventures in the Everglades. Sunday, February 1, 2009. East River and almost to Fakahatchee Island. As Stubb pointed out in my last conversation with him, water levels are VERY LOW as a consequence of the strong northerly winds. Chokoloskee Bay looks like an oyster farm. The water levels in the Fakahatchee and Big Cypress are low as well. Hmmmthis could be a recipe for a disaster! So we get out of the river and into the bay and notice that there is very little water in it. At mangrove tunnel 3 we notice...

Adventures in the Everglades. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Huston River Loop with the Rapidfire canoe. Why is the NOAA report always off by . 10 knots below actual. I should have listened to the Weather Channel report which is always right. Michaleen (Mike) was trying out her brand new Rapidfire sit on bottom canoe. Here are some pictures of the Rapidfire at the launch site with a comparison of it next to the Hemlock Kestrel:. They loved that DOA gold fleck with 1/4 oz jig head. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Adventures in the Everglades: December 2010

http://beachcamper.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Adventures in the Everglades. Sunday, December 12, 2010. Lostmans Loop Thanksgiving 2010. Our first day route would leave from Outdoor Resorts and through Rabbit Key Pass towards the Gulf. The winds were out of the SE at 10-15 knots and the temperature was very warm. Our mileage was about 16 miles with a few stops to take pictures and I would troll through areas that I had good action in the past. Mainly behind Crate Key, and areas near Mormon Key and the New Turkey Key. Wow, he really made good time!
