Sounds like a really good time was had by all, despite the one fella that took the unfortunate skewering. Sorry I missed the festivities.

sponxx just found out from Johnathon's dad that he was admitted back into driscoll children's hospital last night with an infection. their pumping him full of antibiotics right now, apparently they didn't rinse that wound out when he first went in.

Ice--melts rather quickly on the beach so Rocky came up with a new drink called the RR.  Funny how "5 day" coolers only keep ice for 2 days  I might have to bite the bullet & get a Yeti.

Hope they can get it fixed. I could see how it would be hard to disinfect a long hole like that one.

Ice--melts rather quickly on the beach so Rocky came up with a new drink called the RR. Funny how "5 day" coolers only keep ice for 2 days I might have to bite the bullet & get a Yeti. I put ice (20 lb.) and food in my Yeti on Wed, added 10 lbs as I left CC, had very cold water as of Sunday night 6:30pm when I got home, emptied out the food and dumped remaining ice this morning. Took a big chunk of ice out to make margarita's on Sat. But this one was not opened much. The beer/drink coolers are going to melt quick cause of the open close all of the time.

Roger, thanks for the update. Hopefully he gets better soon. It is good he has the spirit and drive to fish and I bet he will be able to. As long as the infection has not affected the deeper layers of muscle or tendons, the antibiotics should get ahold of it. I had told Albert that he probably would get about 24h of IV antibiotics before going home... crap, that's not good. Hope they can get it fixed. I could see how it would be hard to disinfect a long hole like that one. Pat, with those kind of wounds you get a long tipped syringe that holds about 4oz of saline, stick it in the hole and flush it with 1-2 liters of water, but even then antibiotics are needed since the rod had gone thru a dead fish. Bad deal no matter how you slice it, and increasing the risk for infection in surrounding and deeper tissue was another reason I did not open it up more on the beach. Send him my best wishes and tell him that my son was very concerned about "the boy with the wound"

Bet he knew Neil Armstrong and has gone that way for a few days. He sounded pretty sad over his death.

rocky took a lot of pictures, i;m sure he'll be posting them up in a day or two. we caught a lot of whiting but nothing big, one big bait was picked up and partially eaten by a tiger shark judging from the teeth marks but it didn't get hooked.I believe Johnathon will be alright hes a tough kid.

A friggin' great experience in which is was once again my priviledge to be a part  We sure have an eclectic collection of great folks on the 'Fire. Ya know I brung dog food, an even emergency back-up granola, but never had cause to reach for neither, and even the dog, who thought she had landed in heaven, was obliged to bury more rib and steak pieces than she had ever seen before in her whole four months of life. And once again I'll reaffirm my decision, should I ever decide to become an alchoholic, to travel to Peru to do it, where I shall remain permanently soused on pisco  And surely in Hell, during Happy Hour, they serve green Gatorade spiked with Jim Beam  Thanks to everyone who could make it, especially Rog who set the whole thing up.

Send him my best wishes and tell him that my son was very concerned about "the boy with the wound" And I think I can speak for the rest of the guys, that we appreciated you immediately assisting with the young man. He was pretty shaken up at first and I think your working with him got him calmed down, even though he was hurting. I will have to confess I nearly had a oops moment myself, later that day. I was fishing a topwater lure when a seagull dived on it. I violently yanked on the line so the bird wouldn't get hooked, and that Lucky Craft with its three sticky sharp treble hooks flew straight back at me. I threw up an arm and caught the lure there; luckily none of the barbs went in. That was the end of topwater fishing

Reporting in.
I got home safely Monday evening and just had enough energy to get the musty clothes out of my luggage, hit a few high notes of the experience with my wife and conk out.
Will sort through the hundreds of photos I took and will post a link to them on Photobucket ASAP. Far too many to post here, but I'll get a few of them up.
