I surprised Lauren with a staycation at one of our most favorite spots in the world for her birthday. We stayed at Tarpon Lodge on Pine Island, it is a historic Inn and one of the prettiest properties in Florida. While Lauren was at work I went out and got […]
The water is slowly clearing up and SWFL is open for business. The beaches are looking beautiful with less fish washing up each day. We are not out of the woods yet and still not keeping inshore fish, but things have gotten much better. Took a nice family from California […]
