It is looking like I will be saying so long to cali and moving to Fla. It's been a challenging last few months. Lack of a good paying job and the fact we have a daughter in Fla. going through cancer treatment, has motivated me to take a job there. My wife and I figure we can be more help to our daughter in being a few hours away rather than on the other side of the country if things go south for her. The job may not be my first choice in what it is going to take to do but the company seems willing to help us with moving so, I guess I will give it my best shot.
I don't know anything about when we may leave and all as things are still being worked out. I should know a little more this afternoon after hopefully the last negotiation call today :smt044
I'm not big on long good-byes and all that so I'll just say Thanks for the friendships and the fun. I'll try to hook up with yall if I make it back this way and I'll let you know how the fishing is in south Fla.
Thanks for the memories! Happy trails and tight lines.

FL is a great place to fish. Depending on the location one weekend you fish the atlantic, the next the Gulf, the next inland waterways and finally the Everglades.

Send some pics of a Barracuda landed in your yak.

JUst watch out for Water Moccasins and Gators. Neither should be messed with. oh and the occasional cougar in the Everglades.

It's hard to uproot and move, I've done it too many times.  The good news is each move brings new experience and you'll be better for it.  Good luck and catch a tarpon!
