For many, Australia features on the top of list of most favorite holiday destinations. From the spectacular landscapes to God’s most amazing creations, the sun, the surf, the sand, the food and wine, the people- everything invites you in. For those who live in the country, it is just like another day but for foreign tourists it is going to be a lot difficult if they are not prepared for their stay in the country. No, we are not saying this is a dangerous and hostile place to be, but you…

I am a retired Professional Engineer, and so trained I like to quantify things, such as in boating to know where I am, and how shallow the water is under the boat, for I do not wish to get lost or run aground in the Mosquito Lagoon when I fish for REDs and TROUTs .

I recently down sized my boat to a 16 ft Key Largo, Center Console, and started mapping various creeks in the North End of Mosquito Lagoon, between Edgewater/Riverbreeze Boat Ramps on the WEST to JB's Fish Camp and the Boat…

 It should be a great weekend to head offshore. Seas are expected to be less than two feet with light south winds. Dolphin catches are best around 160-220 feet, with fish concentrating around surface rips. Look for kingfish on any 60- to 80-foot reef off Canaveral or Sebastian. Rig a live, 6- to 10-inch silver mullet or pogy on a wire stinger rig and slow troll these areas. Cobia are hanging around the same reefs as the kings, so keep a rod ready with a jig or live bait hook. (from…

These recipe's are ones that I have personally used, and at least liked enough

to try a second time. There are many different spesis of fish locally caught,

and some seem to lend themselves to one style of cooking over another.

I usually find myself too tired and hot to fire up the grill in the evening,

especially in the summer, so most of my fish is cooked in a skillet.

It still taste great.

I will add these as I can remember,…

The Fisheries Campaign of the Marine Resources Council (MRC) has the objective of restoring the once thriving sea life in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). Many of us remember, as recently as the '70s, when our water was clear and acres of sea grass covered the flats. The IRL was the sea trout capital of the world and teemed with snook, reds and other species fun to catch and great to eat. We stood on the bridges at night and dipped huge shrimp and blue crabs for the table. We could wade in…
