Venice / Eglewood Florida Red Grouper

As promised here are a couple pictures taken during the Thanksgiving Holiday.    These Red Grouper were caught outside of the Venice and Stump Pass inlets, just about in the middle of Manasota Key about 15 miles off shore.  South West Florida fishing this year has been outstanding, be it from your boat or waterfront property.   Water quality and conditions have been perfect.   To learn more about the local water front and barrier islands take a look at my website www.floridabarrierislandsrealestate.com   Two days before these photos were taken my friend Alan and I caught a 40″ King fish and while reeling the fish in encountered a school of Cobia.  Within less than a minute of landing the King fish I hooked a 39″ Cobia.  The situation was a bit hectic so no photos were taken.  If you have any fishing questions or looking for more info about waterfront real estate give me a call or e-mail.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day in Southwest Florida is the place to be with friends and family.  Many of you that read this page of my website have read my short bio on the front page and know that I’ve spent a number of years in Santa Cruz California.  A good friend of mine will be visiting during the Thanksgiving holiday and we plan to fish in the Gulf of Mexico and some inland fresh water near Charlotte Harbor.  I promise to post pictures of our fishing trips.  The water temperatures around the surrounding barrier islands havePresentation cooled prompting the migration of snook inland (see www.floridabarrierislandsrealestate.com).  The weather this week has been absolutely gorgeous.  Highs in the mid to low 80’s and lows in the 60’s.  We have yet to really get any cold snap.  Happy Thanksgiving; enjoy your time with friends and family.

Absence from my Blog

BlogThis past week some of my past customers and friends that use my website want to know why I’ve not posted any new Blogs. I feel like I could write a book about my experience in the past four months. On July 7, 2009 I received a phone call that changed my life, and for the good which my seem strange to some. The call was from my Doctor giving my pathology results showing I had neck cancer. The ride from that day until now has been eye opening, inspiring, and a lesson in giving. I can’t thank my family enough for their support and loving care. Thank you to my friends for their selfless giving my family experienced. As you can see on my Blog my daughter Liv is a new addition God so graciously gave my wife and I April this year. She and my wife were instrumental in my healing and getting back on my feet so quickly. I also want to give thanks to the Doctors and care givers who helped get through the treatments. I am back to work and very happy to help any persons looking to buy or sell Real Estate in South West Florida. I promise if you don’t watch the news everyday life is better than they make it out to be. Housing inventories are on the decline in Sarasota County and that is one of the best indicators you can point at showing the market in heading in the right direction. The foreclosure market is cyclical. What does that mean? It won’t last forever. God Bless and Thank You for reading my Blog.
