Walkers Cay Chronicles

[MIKE*A 0]

I woke up to late this morning and missed it, but it's on again tomorrow at 0900 on ESPN2. Flip rides his Harley up to S. Carolina for some Bass/Blue Gill fishing on the old fly Rod..........I think i can be up by 0900, but then again, it is Saturday night.........maybe i should set the recorder........

I just caught the tail end. He was holding a slab bluegill in his hand just as it slipped back into the water and it went commercial. THEN here comes that Harley business... . Thought crossed my mind that he should have had a fly rod slung on the bike frame.....The FLIPPENATOR. After Walkers, the Spanish Fly had a great show with a couple of Blue Angels on board. Traded the Major a great sailfish experience (Jose thought he had a kingfish) for a ride in a F-18. The show ended with them being buzzed by the local squadron.

 

Best I've ever had was a Cessna flying low up the river valley. COLD here in Connecticut. Five below this morning and yet 30 or so ice fisherman were standing on the water as the sun strated to rise! Not my bag.

 

Football is about to start. Question to the board...Which of the group seems like he'd be right at the Patriot game tonight???

I'll be getting up to watch the 'Gills! I caught Lindners Edge today for the first time in awhile. All I could think about is how gerat it is to see somebody work his(their) way up through an organization to the point where they can leave and do their own thing! He(Al) always gives a bit on the Bible or God at the end, and I really like that.

I saw it this morning.........good show........my type of fishing, low pressure, nice and relaxing and no one else around......except for his camera crew of course. Flip came up to ohio last summer and filmed an episode near Zaneville with the Mad River Outfitters fly shop out of Columbus which i am anxious to see, he doesn't have the air date on his website yet. flip is supposed to return to Ohio this summer to film an episode on carp fishing.

The best Walkers Cay I have seen was from 95' or 97'. Flip floated down a spring creek in Florida for bass. It was a two part episode. The second part I think is redfish at the end of the stream. The creek is one of the most beautiful streams Ive ever seen. I would like to get this one on the DVD's. Sorry, I went back and looked it up it was 1993.

That wasn't a spring creek, it was the Withlacoochie River.

I think i saw that episode......it was pretty good. Hey TB, Is that up in the panhandle?

[Guest]

No, Mike not quite that far north. I begins in the Green Swamp in central FL and flows thru Hernando and Citrus counties and then into the Gulf. A real beautiful river, most of it in its natural state. A very productive bass and panfish fishery, big gators too, so wade fishing is not recommended.

Trout Bum, I could have swore that they said it was a spring creek. But that was years ago that I saw it. So Im sure your right. I remember how clear the water was, with a blueish silver tint. Truelly awsome!!!
