About the store.
 And me.

                                                                          I started working in the store in 1984.


In 1992, I purchased the store from my parents.

 Dad and my mom still come in and we fish together when we can.                     

Dad is the king of the seawall. No Snook, Trout or Snapper is safe, when he is about, which is almost every afternoon. Dad goes out and puts a couple of miles on "Johnny" (His moniker for a Johnny Rattler top water lure). Live Shrimp, a gold spoon, Johnny and a Green Ghost" make up the arsenal of the original Fishin Frank.
Here is a Picture of dad and his rig.

                                           

These days mom stays busy with her crafts, women's groups and charity work.
 

 I do some fishin Charters when I have time.
 This is my Charter Boat.
 I have over 27,280 hours standing on her decks.
as of last year.

This is a demonstration of damn-it fishin.
 Either damn good cast
             or
 Damn-it in the trees again.

 But that is how you get big Snook
 Ya gotta get under the branches,
 to where they are feeding.


My youngest daughter Heather worked here until she went to college.
Now she is taking care of her son,
who I think will be a pro-ball player instead of a fisherman like grandpa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

My son is military and has a wonderful new wife.
 "Way to go Frank".
 He is most likely being deployed again.

 

 

 

      

 

      

  Terry is the real boss. She keeps me in line and puts up with me.

 As the saying goes, behind every successful

man there a woman shaking her head. "Ya gotta love her"

 

    

 

 

 

    Me, well I always thought I would be a musician, or maybe a bum. Movie star sounded good.
Fishing was just mental therapy.  Now I am
Fishin Frank. Charter boat captain, bait shop owner,
writer, store clerk, bait tank cleaner.

                                                                                                                All in all a Good Life.
