thanks joe-- one last stupid question, then i'll leave you guys alone... if you're fishing with shrimp (or whatever) around the base of the bridge, what depth are you shooting for? toward the bottom of the pilings or closer to the surface? (or like everything else in fishing, is it one of those...

thanks!! 331 or Mid-Bay or both?

Anyone have any good Bay fishing reports or pointers? An old friend is coming to visit today, and the plan is to fish for the next 2 days... but not knowing much about such things, I was hoping someone could give me a quick "Choctawhatchee Fishing 101" tutorial! :D Thanks in advance for any...

Don't take my word for it--Come see for yourself! :D ... He's playing tonight at Fonville Press.... 5:30pm-8:30pm. He's the real deal...

Hi all-- If you're a Blues fan, be sure to mark the following dates on your calendar.... Kent's an old friend of mine, and he'll be in the U.S. from March 15 thru April. I talked him into coming down here to play some shows along 30A, so if you know anyone who would like to book him while he's...

FOR SALE: Mitsubishi 60" Projection TV (Model VS-60705). It's not high-def, but it's a HUGE TV with a great picture. It's like an instant home theater. We bought it brand new 6 years ago for a little over $5,000. We'll now sell it for $400 (or best offer). Compared to some of my investments...

hey Smiling Joe, In order to avoid any misunderstandings, I've decided to cancel my account, and have also removed my references to other websites (the ones that are within my power to change, anyway). I hope this alleviates your concerns.... Take care... Mike

Thank you for the comment, Smiling Joe... (who seems to rarely "smile," by the way).... I didn't realize that it was an issue. People seem to promote their businesses, restaurants, events, rentals, environmental causes, political groups, communities, concerts, job opportunities, homes, open...

i haven't had a chance to check it out yet... but will do so SOON! does anyone have any opinions on how it ranks when compared to these other local pizza joints? HOT SPOTS FOR PIZZA Fat Daddy's Bruno's Pizza Amor? Pizzeria Roberto's Pizzeria Angelina's

When you get one, please let me know! Thank you... mike@30A.com

No, but I'd wager that stress and worry over certain things (like bug spray, secondhand smoke, etc.) does more harm to our bodies than those things do to begin with...

just fyi, i know the family behind Alys Beach has owned that property for many decades... they're big supporters (financial and otherwise) of many local charities

Agreed... Think about many MILLIONS of people swim in Florida's waters every day of every year (from Pensacola to Tampa to Key West to Miami to Daytona to St. Augustine).... How many fatal shark attacks have occurred in Florida since 1882? 13. How many fatal shark attacks have occurred in...

I'm certainly in no hurry... In fact, I may start riding my kayak on the bike path. :D

i was over in Rosemary the other day and noticed that "The Sugar Shak" is no longer in business :confused: my kids were distraught!

here are some good spots for seafood from www.30A.com (as voted by locals): Caf? Tango The 3-Thirty-1 Caf? 30A Picolo's / The Red Bar Stinky's Fish Camp D&K Caf?

Has anyone heard the status of tonight's show? (or do u know where we can call to find out?)

Does anyone know if "Caf? Tango," "Basmati's" or "Shades at the Loop" have websites?

there are also many great spas around 30A.... in fact, there's a poll on www.30A.com where visitors are voting on which one they think is SoWal's best.... so far, WaterColor's InnSpa is in the lead....

We took our kids to Goatfeathers a few months ago and had a poor experience. BUT, we decided to try it again, just to give it a fair shake. Unfortunately, our second time around was no better. The service was adequate, but the food was extremely disappointing. Not only was it very late to the...

I've always like the Tommy Bahama brand and story, and so I've been pretty excited to try the restaurant.... BUT, I saw a copy of the local menu recently, and it looked very pricey--even by SoWal standards! Lunch sandwiches were in the $15 range, for example. Or have I been misinformed?

Is that where Ruth's Chris originated? Can you elaborate on the Louisianna comment? Thanks!

I posted this on the other board too, but in case you missed it: << You can get on the Bay in many spots, but I'd recommend Cessna Landing on County Rd 393 (about 2.5 miles North of Hwy 98). From there, you can paddle into some grassy areas very easily, or into more open waters. Or, you can...

You can get on the Bay in many spots, but I'd recommend Cessna Landing on County Rd 393 (about 2.5 miles North of Hwy 98). From there, you can paddle into some grassy areas very easily, or into more open waters. OR, you can launch from numerous spots on the 331 bridge, and paddle up into the...

Just FYI, if the surf's ever too rough, or the seaweed is too thick or whatever, you can also try the Bay. The chart at the bottom of this page gives you a good idea of what you can catch. Lots of speckled trout right now, and I caught a very nice (15-20lb) Jack a couple of weeks ago. Plus...

Here's a list of infant mortality rates by country. As you can see, we're waaaaaaay down the list. And even then: "The US counts many infant births as "live" which other countries do not (and therefore usually appears to have a much higher rate of infant mortality than similar countries). The...

Well, first of all, APOLOGIES TO ALL FOR MY POSTS IN THIS THREAD. I just now read the other thread on this subject. Not only is this horse dead, but it's soaked in DEET. :lol: As punishment, I vow to strictly adhere to Smiling Joe's recommended summer beach attire: I will always wear long...

For anyone who's bored, here's a lot of info on the subject from The University of Florida: http://vector.ifas.ufl.edu/chapter_03.htm. There are some interesting quotes, both "pro and con" the poison trucks: "...targeting adult mosquitoes may require highly visible and extensive applications of...

I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

It's amazing! Despite the fact that we've all been routinely sprayed by countless similar "poisons" since birth, life expectancy in the U.S. is now at an all-time high (77.9 yrs)! And, our number of annual deaths in the U.S. recently experienced the biggest decline since 1938. Perhaps we should...

These are all great recommendations, and I got a bid from each one of these guys before making a final decision. Can't hurt to call them all!

No worries! My wife and I can't wait to try Mitchell's out... I've owned several businesses over the years, including a small independent restaurant, as well as a franchise (which didn't go so well)... A lot of people automatically assume that "chains" are big corporate entities (and therefore...

someone mentioned that Mitchell's was the "cheapest of the three"... Fleming's can be extremely expensive, but i didn't think that Cantina Laredo was all that bad.... (relatively speaking).... Does anyone recall their final tab at Mitchells? (average total for 2 people, etc.)....

lol...i dunno....my kids have played on that playground many times, and they haven't developed any extra mutant limbs (yet).... and the surface is not hot in the evenings (although I can't tell you about mid-day, just because we've never been there at that time).... But as skunk pointed out in...

no, i think you understood it right.... however, personally, i think the message is humorous and harmless enough.... i don't think it's really intended to drive people off.... i think it's basically just another way of saying, "ain't this place GRAYT??" when i saw it, i didn't take it as rude...

Agreed that Graffiti is probably the best option... Atmosphere-wise, it's like the House of Blues, only the food is MUCH better.... Also, with kids in tow, Mango's Paradise Grill is a great spot in Baytowne.... There's a huge playground right next to it... The kids can play while the adults...

Progressive dinner is a GRAYT idea... Here would be my picks: 1. Wine & Appetizers: Caf? Tango 2. Entrees: D&K Caf?, Borago's or Gravel Road (can't go wrong with any) 3. Dessert & Coffee: Caf? 30A (Banana Beignets!!!!!!) 4. After-dinner cocktails: Courtyard Wine (laid-back/quiet), Old...

I agree with Smiling Joe... The food, service, decor and clientele reminded me of an aging/outdated Country Club in any little town. Aside from the servers (who were very professional and nice), my wife was the only woman in the place without blue hair (and I was the only guy WITH hair). The...

My wife and I ate there about 3 months ago. We were the only diners in the entire ~45 minutes we were there. I almost felt like we'd startled the little old lady when we walked in. I also almost got the impression that she lives there (true or not, I have no clue). After she got over her...

i also vote for "Cafe 30A"... It's a consistently great experience....

I highly recommend Scott Lade... here's his email and phone....he did some great work for us....destin1man@cox.net 850-496-0356 (m)

i think it's called Grand Boulevard... there's a "P.F. Chang's" under construction there too... i've eaten at a few of those, and have never been disappointed....

thanks for the tip--i've never eaten at Blue Orleans! I'll have to go there and check them out asap.... if anyone thinks of any others that might be under the radar, please let me know! i'm trying to build a list of local favs on my website (www.30A.com) ... i know it's all very subjective and...

The Seaside writer's group is always a lot fun, and very casual... Hope to see you this Tues nite!

Does anyone know if they have a website? If so, I can't find it

Understood and agreed... In my opinion, gamblers and speculators should know--and be willing to accept--those risks going into it. If you own 3 or 4 pieces of property, you're taking a risk that the market will stall for a few years, and you'll be left paying the bills in the meantime. That's...
