Crazy Al Walker

Post by In Memory of Vicroy »

Just talked to Crazy Al (the shark diver, came to a couple of UVIs, he & Stan Smith got us the lobsters) and he's doing fine, nutty as ever. He's in Venice, La. fooling with the oil spill along with my son. He says the UVI got him and the other divers hooked on Bertrams and Corrosion X. Says we need to revive the UVI at Port Eads as the Parish now has the money from FEMA to fix it up "nice". Guess that means they will drag the Pain Killer out of the marsh again?

He says to tell all the B31 guys hi.

UV,

I hear Tigers river house at Port Eads is being used by the Coast Guard. I think the restoration down there is already underway. I did a Lake Pontchartrain overnight trip with my three year old son Jack this past weekend. Ended up catching trout, reds, drum, sheepshead, catfish and ladyfish. Jack pulled in 4 trophies (including one for an 11 oz. catfish) from the Holy Name fishing rodeo. He felt like the king of the world showing off his trophies to the family.

Randall,
The storage box saved my butt. Had to share with Rawleigh, which meant going outside to change your mind. Let's do it again, but I'm with Ric, Tropic Star!

Well, the UVI 9 is on at Tropic Star August 20-27 and invites are available. I have a boat full with me, my son and son in law. Some think it may be the winnig boat, but who knows? Late August has been a hot marlin bite the past couple of years. The Lodge tells me they have room.

That video is really depressing.

Its goes along with the new snapper ban off the Atlantic:

The ban prohibits fishing red snapper in an area of the Atlantic stretching from North Carolina to Florida. Fishing other snapper-grouper species also would be banned in depths of 98 to 240 feet in a nearly 5,000-square-mile zone of ocean stretching from an area in Georgia about 15 miles north of Fernandina Beach, Fla., down to around Melbourne, Fla.

Been thinking more and more about the UVI's at Port Eades and think that before the oil companies destroy the Gulf and consequently the rest of the oceans we should go fishing (no I'm not a liberal). If the Aztecs and Nostradamus are correct the world comes to an end in 2012. Certainly we don't want our last thoughts to be, damn, why didn't I go fishing at Tropic Star with Uncle Vic one more time. What's that old saw about at the end of your life you will regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.
What the hell, it's only money and a week in August. We can celebrate Vic's and my birthdays. Both are the same day so we can get that done with one drink.
What say you, Ric?

RAwleigh,
Loosen those purse strings (metaphorically) and let's go to Panama.
One drink, one drunk. It matters?

Question is: Does Rawleigh still control the purse strings? :^P

Patrick,
Not sure who controls them since Rawleigh was recently married for the first time. I thought at this late date that he may have avoided the plunge all together.
How about you, Panama?

Been there, done that, enjoyed it immensely, but round 2 isn't in the plans at this time... Thinking Cabo this year, but that's very loose also.
