Liz had a hair appointment and an impromptu evening with our youngest, leaving me an opportunity to smash some canned salmon, caveman style. Dinner was simple: two small, cold ’taters (RS3!), a couple tablespoons of Duke’s no-sugar mayo, a dusting of Dune Sand (a seasoned salt recipe Liz and I came up with during our […]

FloridaHillbilly 25 Years Later – Where is He now?
Ok. I know it has only been a bit over a year…but SO much can happen in the amount of time….it FEELS like its been 25 years. I was told by a good friend that if I didn’t slow down, I would burn out. I laughed at him, telling him I’ll ALWAYS be full of BS…and […]
Book Review and Giveaway: Recipes & Tips for Sustainable Living with Stacy Harris
(See below for my giveaway of a signed copy of this book) I was recently sent a couple of copies of a new cookbook, Recipes & Tips for Sustainable Living with Stacy Harris from GameAndGarden.com in order to review them for her release date, today, 29 October. Both my wife and I went over the […]
Gator Hunting
I’ve done my share of hunting over the years. I started with squirrels, then on to rabbits and the elusive grouse. Eventually I graduated to groundhogs, deer and turkeys. (I put groundhogs in that category because of the longer shots needed on some of those pesky little hole-diggers.) But I’ve never hunted a dinosaur before. […]
My 2013 Lobster Mini Season Results
Every year, the Florida lobster becomes the obsession of a large mass of people…Some of those people only go diving the for the two day mini season, making them far from skilled divers. No, not all of them…but enough that I usually avoid lobster mini season. Since I dive for part of my living, I […]

Sweet Green Mango Ceviche (And Easy Lime Hollandaise Sauce)
I’ve been VERY obsessed with fishing lately. The guys over at Back Water 2 Blue Water fishing club have been very instrumental in getting me on the water more, or at least providing opportunity to go out and learn to catch fish. Providing me the opportunity to go fishing is sort of like taking an […]
White Grunt
Yesterday, I posted a picture of a fish I caught locally. Known as a White Grunt, this unassuming fish is much like the pineapple, it is one of the small cornerstones to Florida’s early development. Its been said many times (does repetition make a statement into fact if repeated often enough?) that when Henry Flagler […]
Back Water 2 Blue Water Kayak Fishing Club
Two guys I swap fishing lies stories with have been working on gathering a list of folks that want to go kayak fishing. They have loosely put together an email list and a text message group for the sole purpose of getting folks that fish out of kayaks together to expand their fishing locations, abilities, […]
How My Day Went – Kayak Fishing
I spent the day on the water with my friend, Zach. Zach is 15, and owns an Ocean Kayak Trident 13 Angler kayak. A very nice ride, and one I helped him acquire (read about him getting it here) My kayak is an Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 Angler, the older brother of the OK Trident […]
