BigBendSportsman.com had it's 'Big Bend Bash' at Steinhatchee on October 9th. Attended by anglers from all along the Big Bend, a great time was had by all. Loads of great fried fish were put away by the hungry crowd after a day of inshore and offshore fishing. Rumors have it that Gainesville angler Brian Kiel modeled his new pink Speedo at dinner, but unfortunately no photos are available!

Capt. Brian Smith, who fishes from the Sea Hag, did a presentation on offshore fishing at the October meeting of the GOFC. Videos of the presentation are available for viewing at:
The GOFC is a family-oriented fishing club with members from all over North Central Florida. For more information, take a look at the GOFC website, www.gofc.us
Capt. Jack spent the 2007 Christmas Season keeping an eagle's eye view of the Ship's Store!
LOOKING FOR THAT PERFECT GIFT--or just a present for yourself?
Capt. Tommy Thompson's The Inshore Advantage/Steinhatchee is coming out soon. The book contains over 25 high-resolution aerial photos of the shoreline from Pepperfish Keys to Sponge Point. The color photos, made at extreme low tide, include reference GPS coordinates and some fishing spots. There is also information in the book on how to fish the Steinhatchee area as well as how to navigate the rocky shoreline.
This hardbound book will be a welcomed addition to any angler's library.
The book will be available in the Ship's Store at the Sea Hag about May 1, 2008 at a cost of $75.
