Ron,

Thanks so much for the fun fishing experience. I know you were as (or
more so) disappointed about the fish not biting, but you certainly went
all out trying to find some.

We really enjoyed our Lake Okeechobee, Air Boat, and Red Dog
experience. Thanks again for being a wonderful guide.

Hi Cap'n Ron,

Just wanted to say thanks for the fishing experience. The weather sucked
but Dave and I still had a swell time fishin' with Cap'n Ken. He's a good
ol' boy and we were lucky to have a guide so full of "Bullshit".
Please tell him thanks again and we will try to catch more MudFish next
time, as we will fish only with him..... provided he gets his aerator fixed.
Thanks again. Regardless of the weather, we endured and so did Ken. He is
alot like Dave and I when it comes to fishin'. Hot, cold, wind, rain, or
shine. He's a trooper and a "KEEPER". We look forward to another fishing
trip in the near future. Let me know if you got any good specials coming up
for guys from Virginia who love to fish and kinda know how.

Dave Simpson and his wife Lisa (Marshall, VA - home ph: 540-364-4546) caught only 11 bass fishing due to a cold front that slowed down the fishing. To compensate for the poor fishing Lisa did however hook and land a 7 1/2 lb'er. Her husband Dave also hooked and landed a 8 lb'er. Lisa also had on another "big" bass that threw the hook. We fished the Monkey Box and Moonshine Bay. All the fish were caught using shiners.
