Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So what’s wrong about living in Florida ?

PETA is full of something that smells. The state already issued that directive, basically saying it's balls to the walls but do it in a humanitarian / non-suffering way.

Single bullet to the grey seems pretty humane to me.

Try getting one of them to do anything legal.

Jeff ,
Where are they from ? Or does anybody know . . .

The fishing docks those guy work out of is in the middle of Madeira Beach, FL (13613 Gulf Blvd).
Not to be confused with the more popular docks/marinas in the area at Johns Pass, a mile to the south or Madeira Beach Marina, a mile to the north.

It's been there forever, they claim it to be the Grouper fishing capital of the world. Today there is a small handful of commercial fishing vessels and a few sports fishing charters working out of there.

My history and reference to my involvement there goes back some 25 to 40 years.
At that time, it was in transition. It'd been a hot spot for pot boats running back and forth to South America. As that trade was fading these types rolled in hoping for jobs on the pot boats and found all that was left was actual fishing boats. Just a bunch of dregs, they showed up from all parts of the country and stayed.
Those types would have never landed a job on a pot boat anyway.
It was a much better class of individuals working the pot boats and everybody had change in their pockets.
That was the early to mid 70's.
I grew up there on that beach..

The brother of a friend of mine used to work on "shrimp boats" (wink wink) back in the 70's. If I recall he made $2000 for one night's work unloading those square grouper, and he'd only work maybe three nights per month. $36,000 annual salary, all cash, all net, was good money for a 22 year old guy in the mid-70's. Good looking guy, he did some catalog modeling on the side. So, a handsome kid with lots of dough - he never was flashy with the money like driving expensive cars or such but he always showed up with the hottest babes.

He was under paid, a full shrimper = a full semi, those offloads paid 10 to 20k depending on experience, per event......

Thanks .
