Waiting for the tide - no wait that's next week!!

Time is short before I get on a silver bird and head south to where the water is salty and the sun is hot.  Tied some more flies, have lost count of how many I have now, but at least one of them must be worthy of a grey ghost taking a liking to it, or so I hope.  If not, I'm sure that Captain Bob Jones will take care of us Thursday so we will not get skunked.  I have now printed aboyut a pound of articles about wade fishing in the keys - good reading material for the plane ride.  Camping gear is growing, now I have a tent, 2 sleeping bags, a disposable BBQ grill and an ice chest.  So I am good to sleep, keep my beer cold and grill whatever I catch in the sea or at the supermarket.  Just haveto stop at the KMart on Key Largo and getmy fishing license, beer, water and whatever dry goods I will need for two days.  Decided to stay in Miami one more night with the family and also one more day to buy and eat pastelitos for breakfast.  We'll do that again when I pick Michael up on Wednesday.  Got enough rods and hopefully lines (those sh*ts at Basss Pro backordered my backing.)  If nothing else, I pass the BassPro in Islamorada so I am sure they have what I will need.  Plus hopefully they will share some wisdom when I stop by to buy some local flies and pick their brains.  My long lot LSU friend Pat who owns a lodge in Roatan, Mango Creek Lodge is tryin to make me jelous (it is working, I am saving my money) by telling me about her guests hitting Grand Slams.  To any who read this blog, have a Happy Easter Season and remember He is risen today.

Keep your lines tight and your eyes on the price.
