Heck a sweet sport fishing boat wouldn't be a bad inheritance either. 😀
Between that and his house on the water in Englewood, the 4 of us will have something worth fighting over! Of course, as oldest son, I SHOULD get preference! 😆
Lucky bastard,a house on englewood..I stayed at palm island for a week..Thats the best fishing I have ever seen in my life
Yeah, from Englewood down to Boca Grande is some great fishing. My dad's family used to travel down there from the Plant City area back in the 50s and 60s. For several years after we moved back to Lakeland in 1980, we'd rent a cottage on the beach for a week right around Memorial Day when the snook were really running strong. That tradition stopped when they started closing snook season every summer.
Then several years ago they found a house on a big creek going into Lemon Bay, no bridges between them and Stump Pass. It would make you sick knowing what they paid and what it's now worth, even after the market collapse! Plus it's paid for, since dad sold the house in Lakeland 7 years ago after my mom died and used that to pay off the Englewood house. He's done a lot of work on the place, adding a nice dock with lifts, closing in porches and adding a tackle room, planting fruit trees, etc. Nothing too fancy, but one of the nicest 50-year old Florida block homes you'll find in the area.
Sounds like the house has turned into paradise now...
you should strap some snook lights on the dook,its amazing to just watch the fish school.

Him and all his neighbors have those submerged green lights off their docks, and we've counted 30-40 snook at a time around his. You can sit in his kitchen and look out at night and see the fish swimming around the light.
aw nice the greens awesome, My friend has them and there was the biggest ball threadfins Ive ever seen in it and big jacks kept running through them.
