Marilyn and I will be in Sebastian, Florida for three weeks starting Monday.

October 6th will be our Twenty Year Anniversary.....we will probably celebrate it at Captain Hiram's right on the water near our place.

We will be fishing the Sebastian River for snook and tarpon.

Usually we will be fishing the Indian River Lagoon for jacks, redfish seatrout, ladyfish, tarpon and snook.

We will hook up with local fly shop owner and guide, Eric Davis, of 'The Back Country' in Vero Beach.

As it cools off in the Fall we have the big bait migration or bait shift which really gets things going.

Eric likes to fish a split day where we will fish early till maybe noon then take a big afternoon brake and meet up again around 9pm and fish till midnight or so for some night fishing around lighted docks for jacks, snook, tarpon and redfish.

**Here is a picture Marilyn took of me during a Monsoon back there while I was cleaning out the gutters.

Bill,

That's a great photo. It reminds me of how we use to take showers when I was in Viet Nam.
We use to stand under the metal roofs and use the run off. The bad thing was if you soaped up and the rain stopped, ???
Anyway, have a good trip and Happy Anniversary to you and Marilyn. I'll be thinking about you while I'm pulling on Yellow Fin and you pulling on Tarpon.

We flew out this morning on American Airlines from Sacramento to Dallas/Fortworth.

Chuch Yeager was on our flight.

He was headed to France to do a documentory about him being shot down over there.

"Stationed in the United Kingdom at RAF Leiston, Yeager flew P-51 Mustangs in combat (he named his aircraft Glamorous Glennis[4] after his girlfriend, Glennis Faye Dickhouse, who became his wife in February 1945) with the 363rd Fighter Squadron. He had gained one victory before he was shot down over France on his eighth mission, on March 5, 1944.[5] He escaped to Spain on March 30 with the help of the Maquis (French Resistance) and returned to England on May 15, 1944. During his stay with the Maquis, Yeager assisted the guerrillas in duties that did not involve direct combat, though he did help to construct bombs for the group, a skill that he had learned from his father.[6] He was awarded the Bronze Star for helping another airman, who lost part of his leg during the escape attempt, to cross the Pyrenees."

Cool.............

Chuck also shot down a German jet fighter with his P51.

Chuck stopped by our shop before when he worked for Delco because Tharp's Radio use to be in our center.

Florida guide Frank Catino brought Enrico Puglisi to Eric Davis' "The Back Country" shop in Vero Beach, FL which is only about 10 mile from our "shack" in Sebastian, FL. They had a nice turn out of interested local fly casters.
