Hi Chuck & all, Yup, we're North of Miami in the Ft. Lauderdale area but people in our club routinely fish from Ft. Pierce down to the keys and over to Naples & Sanibel. Of course the everglades & 10K islands are in there as well. I haven't fished Okeechobee yet, keep meaning too. But then again we have some nice bass fishing down here as well as butterfly peacocks (aka peacock bass). Let me know if you make it down here again.

My first wife's Father Had a houseboat on Lake Okeechobee, and we would go there for a week or two at a time and run trot lines for catfish and/or turtles. Baskets too. Have you ever Fly Fished Okeechobee???? I never did, but I know every now and again (had to turn em loose :(:(:(  We'd get 10 pounder or more Largemouth bass on the trot lines or in the baskets.... Course, there were soooo many snakes and Gators there it scared the heck outta me sometimes to go there. His boat was docked up one of the canal's, and going down the canal to the open lake to set the lines, you'd see HUGE gators sunning on the shore, and when your boat went by, they would slip off into the water, and make you WONDER where they would come back. I would also Crappie fish off the boat at night, and you'd look up and see that single glowing red eye of a big ol gator coming down the canal quiet as a mouse, Chuck   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Staples To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 8:11 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] VFB'ers Homepages ??

This woke up something I thought of a long time ago. I started to find some of the VFB'ers homepages... quite a bunch actually. I think I have over 15 in that favourites folder. But I'm very sure there are more of them lurking out there. I'd like to top up the folder. This is not a "sharing project" and I'm not planning any compiling like Jimmy with the VFB locations. This is just for my own curiousity, so you can send the URL's offlist. (Only saying that so I can't be held responsible for starting a GIGA-bandwidth thread.) If you want to share onlist... I'm home free and it's on your own necks.  ;o) I hope I'll find some nice URL's in my inbox tomorrow morning.

Tom Davenport mentioned earlier that it'd be nice if we'd do a town / state deal for the list.  I'll be glad to handle this and will start it off by listing my name, town and state.  I think it would be neat if we all knew where each other lived.  A bunch of you I know already and it's fascinating to be able to talk to VFB'ers and know they're from Australia, Sweden, Germany, UK, Canada, etc.  I would think we're in lots more countries than what I just listed and I suspect we're in most of the states.
