Ahhh... nice, now I know what to look out for the next time I visit Fl. I see they are using LED bars now and took off the top lights. Makes it harder to spot from a distance. Not sure thats good for a lead foot like me..lol

I see you patrol Tarpon Springs. Do you ever do any tarpon fishing? I caught two nice lake trout yesterday and I was the only person on the lake.Cold though 40F. The ice went out less than three weeks ago.

The ice went out less than three weeks ago.i don't do much fishing, and Tarpon aren't really a big sport fish for catching..around here it's mostly marlin, various types of swordfish, shark (all those are the large fish)...grouper is the main small fish...those are caught for eating...and they are, i think, the best tasting fish around...

My wife isn't much of a seafood eater, but we went out one night and I had a plate of mahi-mahi and shrimp that I'll never forget. Nothing like we can get around here. A fresh salmon or steelhead out of the great lakes isn't too bad, but that mahi-mahi was excellent.
