Well fellas,

The wife was off this past week and drug me to Panama City Beach to suffer in the sun...lol....

Due to my bad back I put my seat in full recline position, turned my heated seat on and covered up with a blanket to keep the chill off from the AC. Took my pain med's and slept almost the entire 10 hour trip, which is the usual way I am able to travel on long distance's only.

Anyway any one who knows me knows how I love to fish....Got to the Beach, the water must have been close to 90 degree's in the Ocean and felt great. With trusty pole in hand and two small bait box's hanging on my swim trunks, I'm off. I tried for three days to catch a fish with artificial lures and no success, had a couple of short hits, but no takers.

On the third day I was able to get out on a sand bar and do some casting and while another family was close by..... The father telling his daughter to stop crying and to look around...Nothing to bite her, eat her or anything of the sort... Trying to tell the girl that their was nothing in the water to hurt her....

Next thing I see....Two 5' to 6' Barracuda's swimming with in 5 feet of myself and this family chasing a school of fish.....

I yell out to the family and give a warning and the father goes ballistic over me telling them of the Barracuda's....... They then make high speed for the shore, the whole time trying to tell his daughter that the Barracuda's wouldn't hurt her....

What a plain A$$hole from start to finish..... I've seen too many shows on TV where Barracuda's have attacked people in the water....These were big, and I mean big fish with big teeth to eat you with.......

Now back to the fishing story...the fourth day I bought some shrimp and tried with the good ole Float and sinker with the hook at the end...Had one run with the bait but nothing else....Lost all my bait, the little fish just picked the bait to death until it was all gone... My Ocean fishing experience will have to be on hold again until the next adventure there.....
