St Augustine Mini Vacation with wifey

Little picture story I thought I'd share. You may have seen a pic or two I already post ion the Billbob thread, but I thought I'd put it all together.

Attachment 460700

Wifey and I went to St Augustine FL again. It's a cool place. Only 2 hours from the house. Anastasia state park is a very nice park. Great beach, and cool wildlife.

Attachment 460701

Gopher Tortoise all over the place. Just don't run them over.

Attachment 460702

Attachment 460703

We went to a couple fishing piers. Very nice ones. This is a pic of the free one at Vilano Beach Pier. There's a Publix right next to it that sells frozen bait shrimp. I bought some of the frozen stuff, and some cooked chilled cocktail shrimp too with cocktail sauce and we have some to eat and fish with while we waited for the bait shrimp to thaw. lol

Attachment 460704

Real nice pier, and friendly folks as well. Caught some Spade Fish, they fought lie heck.

Attachment 460705

We also went to St Johns County Fishing Pier. Super windy there. Could not even get the bait to the water.

Attachment 460706

We ate at the Sunset Grill. Great food. I had trigger fish. Really nice texture, and flavor. I liked it. The texture was a little thicker, I want to say tougher, but really not. Just more substantial. I really liked it.

Attachment 460707

We went on a pirate cruise. Thank goodness they sold adult refreshments cause it was a show that was primarily directed towards kids, and we had none there! lol It was still fun, met some nice folks, told them about Crappie.com. It's so cool wearing crappie.com gear and sharing with folks our great website. Makes kinda a great ice breaker. Make sure to wear your CDC gear and represent out family friendly site, make some friends for sure.

Here's my new tolling boat, prolly gets less than 5 gallons per mile! doh

Attachment 460710
Dern pirates took our loot! was fun, have to bring the grandkids there, they'll have fun for sure. They had kiddie prizes and such.

Thanks for listening. Just thought I'd share. Hope I didn't bore y'all too much.

We go to St A once or twice a year. We had Lunch at the Sunset Grill last year, it was real good. We like Salt life too. Not a tourist place but we like O'Steens for Shrimp.

That boat with all the motors is a piece of junk, no trolling motor. Glad y’all had a good time.

Don't need a trolling motor. All you need is a net to pick all the fish after you run them over with all those props.

St. Augustine is a neat place, looks like a great trip. I spent a day there last year and enjoyed the old fort and a bit of downtown. Have some fun!

Figured I'd finish the picture story. Went to the top of St Augustine lighthouse.

Attachment 460815

Attachment 460811

Ate a pickle at the pickle place at the base of the light house. Was really good, a onion, garlic pickle, yum.

And then the local winery, San Sebastian. Was fun. Met some good people.

The shirt needs to have the white crappie on it, the black one is just a little too dark on it. And I may have a couple sizes of that blue shirt for sale here soon. It's a special purchase I made, but not all sizes. It'll be a great price too. You'll see.

I’ll take a XL if you have one! The blue pops and looks good.

I like this powder blue too. I was telling wifey I've gone full circle. We had to wear powder blue polo shirts in the 3rd through 6th grades in Chicago at Our Lady Of Mercy Grammar School that I had gone to. Bet I'm the only one on the forum here that went there!
