Another.....New Boat!


The anticipation of the completion of my new airboat, over the past three months , has been excruciating!!!

I went and violated my own cardinal rule: "NEVER SELL A BOAT WITHOUT FIRST HAVING it's REPLACEMENT "  I violated the rule and missed the Tilapia spawn and frogging the rising water at the beginning of rainy season... 'two events a fella should NEVER miss!!!
  
 But like Christmas, completion finally rolled around, and just in time to scout for the opening of archery season in a couple of weeks.

  The boat is all I'd hoped it would be (and more)...I even named it:

After ICAST 2017


ICAST, in Orlando was insanely busy for three days and nights...and so, for the third year in a row, Honson Lau, Christiaan Pretorius, Willy Le, Oliver White, Kristan Mustad and myself took a busmans holiday and hit the Mosquito Lagoon like a bunch of kids!

It's been many mango seasons since I had so much fun!!!






Thanks for stopping by and stay real close.....we have some exciting news coming!

New "Ask Flip"

**Ed Note: So sorry we haven't been posting much here or on the website. No excuses other than just busy. We'll do our best to get things back running smoothly here. Flip certainly has alot to share. We'll be doing an e-mail blast here soon so make sure you are on the mailing list.


New Ask Flip on the website:
 
4/17- Cindi Vetter from Waukesha, WI asks:

"Flip,  These pictures all make me smile.   Can to tell us your funniest story with Lefty?....I'm sure there are many to choose from."





"Cindi...thanks for your note. It's timely, as I just got home from taking Lefty to the airport. He's been here at the house for the past few days as we did a seminar in Titusville.
   
When I went to pick him up at the at the airport baggage claim I received a call from his Cel phone. It was a woman, who said, "Lefty was not feeling well on the plane as we were landing, so the Paramedics were called and are with him now"...Then she hung up and when I called back to find out where they were...I got voicemail.

I went to the Southwest Airlines desk and where they tried to figure out where he was being treated. After 45 minutes or so, six adoring, fly fishing Paramedics wheeled Lefty off the elevator into the crowded baggage claim area. 

They insisted upon having their pictures taken with Lefty which started a domino effect and other passengers on other flights had to have their pictures taken with Lefty as well!

The Paramedics insisted upon taking Lefty to the ninth floor of the parking garage and loading Lefty and all his plunder into my pickup, whereupon a ten minute goodby took place........   

The "Left Hander" sure knows how to make an entrance!!!"- Flip


Flip and Lefty last week in Titusville. Obviously, he's fine!
