Congrats on the big 20......Take her to the Restaurant at Bass Pro, she gets a nice dinner and you can see all the big fish in the aquariums while you eat, IT'S A WIN WIN  !!!

LMFAO this is priceless Tim!

Going with Tim's approach, pack a picnic basket and chairs and go prefish your bat spot tonight! Eating on the bay will be so romantic.

We tied the knot and she's been putting up with me ever since.  I was planning on fishing after work, but for some reason she said "no" this time.  lol

5 weeks is an impressive disappearing act for such a big fish. Extra clean tank now with the two janitor fish working on the algae.

How big is the tank? What else you got in there?

It was an African Cichlid tank for years, but the girls wanted boring assorted non-African cichlids instead.  Had to change the substrate and everything when I made the change.  I have a little bit of Asia and S. America.  My Dwarf Powder Blue Gourami are actually quite spectacular as colors go, but most of my older fish have finally been passing.  I had 5 beautiful Cory's for the last 5 years, but now down to 1 left.

I want to put some Bichirs in and make it a terrarium with geckos, but got over rule.  45 gallon custom Hex that started life as a saltwater tank.

Speaking of birds, also forgot to mention the huge presence of terns at the wall. Don’t really see very many inshore at all. And the By The Wind Sailors were starting to come in last week but they were really invading this weekend. Hopefully pelagics aren’t too far behind now.

How do you find Sea Pens Tom? I’m this close to buying an inline underwater cam, hoping for the one I want to come down in price on eBay first.

Spoke it into existence this time. I was watching for the GoFish cam which is waterproof to 300' and has a live feed to your phone. Those are discontinued but on ebay for around $350-400 out the door.

I was contemplating the Aqua Vu Strike Vu inline camera at $100 but only waterproof to 100' and no live feed. Got a 20% off offer and I took it. 90% of what I wanna see is in less than 100' anyway, and the company is still in business if I have issues.

I've seen some underwater footage of local reefs like Izor's, NAR, and the break wall, but there are a lot more spots I wanna see, line it up with FF readings, and run a swimbait behind it to see how many followers I get and how many fish are actually reacting. And how many halibut I am actually getting in front of! Would be funny to see one clip after another of big butts following then yet another short sandie swoops in and steals the show.
