Walking The Redfish (8/23/2007)
[Saltwater Fishing] It was January 22, not a time of year you usually associate with redfishing on the flats. One of my oldest clients, and long time friend, Lee Dugger had come over from Kissimmee for a weekend of fishing.

[Tackle] I can still remember my first spinning reels. They were an old Quick and a French made Centura. They were given to me by an old couple who were friends of my parents when we lived on Captiva Island. The reels were in bad need of repair.
