The only time I fish next to a channel is when we strike out. I go to Bunces Pass, turn up the XM and relax. We just shark fish with the tunes lound and drink beer. We make more noise than anybody else and still get a bend in the rods. If you ever see me there tie up to the boat and enjoy.
I mostly fish early morning during tarpon season off of the beaches until the boat traffic runs the fish off. The only thing I don't understand is why people in boats and PWC see me from a mile away and run right to me? There is a entire ocean and they just want to see what I am doing?
If I sound like I am ranting, I just enjoy the water and like to fish. If I catch my targeted fish it is just iceing on the cake. The real deal is being on the water enjoying Florida the way most people never see it.
