Looks like you're having lots of fun.
Bluefish are like mini sharks, they will bite anything and give a good fish.
Blue crabs are delicious eating. Catch a few and enjoy them with Old Bay seasoning.

I've really been enjoying reading your posts. Thanks for sharing. great pics too

I didn't realize you were reporting here, until you pointed it out to me. I'm glad I caught a few on FB. It's great to read them all here! Great reports, Matt.

What an incredible fishery, down there. I get tired of the hot sun, real fast though.

Fishy1:

Didn't realize either that you were posting here. Great reading! Have fun. Good to hear from you.

5/1/2020 im finally home and in 14 day quaranteen getting ready to catch some salmon from shore after that . ended up at my sisters on west coast of florida and did some fishing and did okay but couldnt fish where i wanted everything shut down corinavirus today mostly everything was opened back up. im trying to catch up on everything but its good to be home with my family. will try and post some things later.

Use the quarantine to get your fishing rods, reels, lines, lures ready.
We look forward seeing your reports back on Champlain.
Salmons, lakers, and anything with fins ... beware.

Welcome home Matt. Once the virus clears I’d love to get you on Reelax...

Thanks for the stories

5/1/2020 sitting here my ist day in quarantine what to do. just relaxing now and resting. lost my cousin freind and brother all in one before i left there so i guess i wont be getting over that to soon. i started working on something when i was in the hospital and continued this winter and now will try to concentrate on it again. want to thank all my friends on the forum for there keeping me positive during my last 8 months of ups and downs. i have made lots of friends here on lcu and i believe i am what i am today because of the lcu. my grand children look at me not only as pa pa but a fishing legend now. i cant describe my feelings on this as i get so many requests even for autographs which started our friend putting my pics on apparrel mugs and other things. im just a simple fisherman that loves fishing in the greatest sport in the world. i will continue to post here and on facebook where i have increasing. fishing friends also. my health right now is very good thanks to florida the sunshine state. im going to continue to fight this cancer and yes im feeling okay to fish in boats again with so many invites. just have to have prior notice. god bless all.

my next adventure when i get out of quarantine is shore fishing for stripers hoping to head to the hudson river with a relative who lives there. 9 more days of quarantine

5/8/2020 friday 6 days to go in quarantine cant wait. im going to get through this. everyone be safe out there and keep on fishing.

im not going to make it down for stripers . maybe next year. planning some trips in the future in maine virginia cheasapeak bay and back to florida not all will be shore fishing though been invited in boats to.
