Great, Louis! I just read a post on Microskiff about a book by Glen Simmons and Laura Ogden, about the Glades Skiffs and pioneers from long ago. Looks like a great read about what became the national Park. Supposedly. there's one of Glen's skiffs in the Florida History Museum in Tallahassee. Available from Amazon, plus on Kindle. I'd like to read it. Maybe you have. Title is: Gladesmen: Gator Hunters, Moonshiners and Skiffers. Your trip reports are awesome reading. IslandJim

yep, thats the marina.. I dont understand it..


picture above was from 20+ years ago, a couple of miles from the marina and in the area I hooked the tarpon this trip.. those channel markers run for miles and have shallow grass flats on both sides. That tarpon took a sharp turn against this same marker and had my line around it.. then again another qarter mile down. Ive hung more big tarpon in this area than any other area... straight out Christian Point. Until this past week the picture above was the most grass I had ever seen floating.
