Florida Surf Fishing

Mary Beth and I as REALTORS never have a day off; however, we do have play times in our schedule large enough to pack up the surf fishing rods, cooler and chairs for a couple of hours of pure bliss. I am talking about surf fishing where you cast your line into the waves hoping to catch Pompano, Redfish, Drum, Blues, Whiting and even flounder. While you wait, you sit comfortably in the warm sun and let your brain recharge. Do you have the picture?

I have been surf fishing most of my life and it suddenly dawned on me after taking numerous empty coolers home after fishing that maybe I do not know what I am doing. I accidentily came across information about a surf fishing class down the beach that covered everything from "soup to nuts" about surf fishing. Subjects such as tackle, line tying, bait, weather condtions, strucure etc. Mary Beth and I decided to give up our Saturday mornings to the surf fishing guru Captain Jeff. Yes, I was doing just about everything wrong when I went surf fishing and likely only caught fish because they felt sorry for me. We will soon be armed with the knowledge of Captain Jeff and plan to fill the freezer.

You can email Captain Jeff Rafter about future classes at (jjrafter@cfl.rr.com) Also, check out our local surf fishing website at (www.surfishingflorida.com) .

If you are reading this from the cold northern states which this year covers Georgia to Maine, you are probably cursing me for enjoying our moderate 66-72 degree weather here in Jacksonville Beach. Hey do not blame me! I keep telling you I have great homes down here under 200,000 in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Fernandina Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach and St. Augustine.

If you like to fish by yourself or want a great sport that you and your significant other can enjoy the rest of your life, surf fishing is terrific. Mary Beth and I will find you a home that has enough extra room to store your fishing tackle. Drop us a note at our website (www.TwoBeachNuts.com). If you see us on the beach fishing drop by and we will get you hooked. Hopefully only on surf fishing.
