Holmes Beach sets residential rental limits


By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
The Holmes Beach City Council has instructed its
attorney to draft an ordinance setting limits on residen-
tial rentals in hopes of spurring one final round of pub-
lic discussion.
The council agreed on minimums of 30 days in the
R-1 and R-3 districts and 14 days in the R-2 district.
The draft ordinance will be on the agenda for discus-
sion on June 125 at 7 p.m.
Councilwoman Carol Whitmore has been seeking
restrictions in three residential districts since 1992 when
council approved a 30-day minimum in the R-1AA dis-
trict (Key Royale). In 1993 council approved a seven-day
minimum in the R-4 district (south of Manatee Avenue).
Following a year and a half of discussion, the coun-
cil in January recommended restricting rental periods
to 30 days in the R-1 district and seven days in the R-
3 district and splitting the R-2 district.
West of Holmes Boulevard and west of Gulf Drive
between 52nd and 43rd Streets would be limited to
seven-day rentals. East of Holmes Boulevard and east
of Gulf Drive between 52nd and 43rd Streets would be

limited to two-week rentals.
In February, then Mayor Rich Bohnenberger rec-
ommended the council adopt a "wait and see" policy
on the ordinance.due to pending questions in Sarasota
over a similar ordinance.

Reaching a consensus
Council Chairman Luke Courtney said that after
receiving input from residents on the January proposal,
he no longer favors splitting the R-2 district because it
would make the ordinance more difficult to enforce.
Councilwoman Carol Whitmore said her original rec-
ommendation for R-2 was 30 days but real estate agents
were not happy. She said seven-day rentals would hurt
motels owners and would be "too radical for residential
neighborhoods, but I feel we have to have something."
"Leave it alone," Councilman Don Maloney said.
"It ain't broke now, and we won't be capable of enforc-
ing it anyway."
"We made a commitment when we did R-4 that we
would continue throughout the city," Whitmore re-
plied. "I have a hard time believing people don't want
some controls."
However, Courtney pointed out that the R-1AA
restrictions were requested by residents and the R-4
restrictions were part of a lawsuit settlement.
Councilwoman Billie Martini said she didn't care
how long people rent as long as property owners and
real estate agents have the proper licenses.
Councilman Ron Robinson suggested 30 days in
the R-l district and 14 days in the R-2 and R-3 districts,
and Whitmore agreed.
"I would like some specific directions from coun-
cil with regard with individual zoning districts," Petruff
said. "It appears to me that people in R-1 want 30 days
to protect their residential values. Most of the condos
in R-3 are self-regulating and you just need to put a
time frame on it. A-l is no problem because it's a semi-
commercial district anyway.
"Your big problem is R-2. I think it will be diffi-
cult to divide the district in terms of the rationale for
just picking the big street in the middle (as the divid-
ing line). I'm not sure it's defensible. If you think there
is such a vast difference between Bay side and Gulf

side, then let's recognize that difference by splitting it
into two zoning districts."
Courtney suggested a restriction of 30 days in the
R-1 and R-3 districts and 14 days in the R-2 district
Maloney said residents should be given the oppor-
tunity to respond to whatever the council proposes.
Whitmore asked about the Jan. 1, 1995, date for
grandfathering those who have been renting for peri-
ods less than the proposed minimum. With proper
proof, they would be able to continue to rent as they
have in the past. "That date is going to be two years in
arrears," Courtney noted.
"We've been talking about this for two years and
people have been buying property since we started. The
attorney recommended Jan. 1, 1995," Whitmore said.
Martini suggested the council hold off on setting
the date until getting feedback from residents.
"The advantage of sticking with Jan. 1, 1995, is that
date was chosen when the council first started discussing
putting rental restrictions on the remaining districts,"
Petruff explained. "By using that date, there will be no
people who have the opportunity to rush in before the barn
door is closed. By changing that date, you would create a
window of opportunity for anyone to act upon."
Courtney said that between Jan. 1, 1995, and
Jan. 1, 1996, there were 76 new resort tax licenses
issued in the city.
"There are 76 people out there with short term rent-
als who have potential lawsuits against the city," Courtney
said. "There are no restrictions at this point, and we're
going to backdate them. Will they sue? I don't know."
Petruff was quick to correct Courtney.
"You keep saying there are no restrictions," she
pointed out. "For the record, I take issue with that.
Within all the city's residential districts, even before we
defined the term business, there has always been a pro-
hibition against conducting a business. If someone
sued, we would be back to the issue of what constitutes
a business and is the renting of property for profit a
business? A judge would decide that."
"Were you one of those (who bought a property
between Jan. 1, 1995, and Jan. 1, 1996, for rental pur-
poses)?" Maloney asked Courtney. "Would you sue?"
"Yes and maybe," Courtney replied.

Hollywood comes to Cortez next month


By Cynthia Finn
Islander Reporter
"Lights, camera, action!" will be the call in the
historic Cortez fishing village late next month.
Several interior and exterior Cortez locations will
be included in the biggest major movie production ever
shot in the Sarasota-Bradenton area.
Twentieth Century-Fox is producing a modern-day
adaptation of Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations." The
film will follow the boy Pip, renamed Pompy from
the age of about 10 in the 1970s to the present day.
The action will be set in Florida and New York.
Cortez will serve as the location of Pompy's boyhood
through the age of 17.
Sarasota's Ca'd'Zan, the John Ringling residence,
will double as the eccentric Miss Dinsmore's decaying
mansion (Miss Havisham in the novel). Veteran actress
Shirley MacLaine is reportedly set to star in that role.
Another super-star, Robert DeNiro, will play the con-
vict/would-be benefactor. He and MacLaine will not be on
the Cortez sets, but some other big names will be.
Among them are Ethan Hawke from big-screen
movies "Dead Poets Society" and "Alive" as Pompy;
Gwyneth Paltrow (Brad Pitt's girlfriend who has been
seen recently in "Seven") as the Estella character with
whom Pompy falls in love; and David Strathairn ("The
River Wild" and "The Firm").
The film's director is Alfonso Cuaron who directed
the recent, critically acclaimed remake of "A Little Prin-
cess."
The film's budget is in the $25-$30 million range,
with about $2-$3 million to be spent in this area.
There are daily changes in the script and still some
fine points to narrow down, but Cortez is definitely in the
picture, location manager Jinx Harding said last week.
Harding is part of Best West Productions, a
Sarasota company mostly involved in major national
television commercials that has been hired by the film-
makers as a local liaison.
Harding, an 18-year Sarasota resident, said Best
West heard about the movie several months ago.
"I started sending photographs of Cortez and
Ca'd'Zan and they contacted me about two months ago,"
said Harding. "It's a lot of work and it's really exciting -


the biggest production ever to come to this area."
According to the current schedule, 10 days of
shooting will begin in Sarasota about July 8 followed
by about a week in Cortez.
Harding isn't involved in casting so she doesn't
know the prospects for locals serving as extras. As for
spectators, Harding said, "It will probably be a pretty
tight set. There's a lot of work to do in a short time."

Taylor Boat Works as 'home'
Among the Cortez spots currently planned for
"shoots" is Alcee and Betty Taylor's residence the
waterfront N.E. Taylor Boat Works site as the inte-
rior of Pompy's boyhood home. The waterfront cottage
Connie Osborne rents in Cortez from Wayne Fulford
will serve as the exterior.
Also, said Harding, filming is planned on the Fulford
Fish Co. dock, at A.P. Bell Fish Co., Wally Lewis's dock
east of Fulford's, a boat shed and the old Fulford residence
now serving as the Cortez Community Center. Harding
stressed that "things could change."


Bradenton Beach employee fired, appeals


An appeals board will meet later this month to
determine the status of a former public works em-
ployee in Bradenton Beach.
Ray Wilson was fired by Public Works Direc-
tor Buddy Watts May 31. Little information is avail-
able regarding the matter other than a brief letter
from Watts to Wilson. The memo reads:
"As a result of a criminal investigation into the
alleged illegal kick-back (bribe) between you and Dave

Environmental Protection Secretary Virginia
Wetherell's decision to ignore a hearing officer's find-
ings that Florida Department of Transportation officials
provided an adequate plan to mitigate seagrasses in the
area of the proposed replacement for the Anna Maria
Island Bridge.
Wetherell said DOT's plan was OK and Florida Di-
vision of Administrative Hearings's Robert Meale had
incorrectly stated the seagrass mitigation plan was flawed.
Levin believes the mitigation plan is not OK and
she erred in refusing the accept Meale's findings.
"We've got DOT down and gravely wounded,"
Levin said, "and now we want to take them out."
Levin said he filed the appeal so the court in Lake-
land would hear the matter rather than wait for the
probable appeal that DOT would file in Tallahassee
courts. The appeals will now be held in this part of the
state rather than the Panhandle, something Levin be-
lieves is advantageous to SAM.
The appeal decision will probably be rendered by
this fall. The appeal will not be a re-trial, but will be a
review of the findings and evidence submitted during
the December and January hearings held on the Island.


Bradenton Beach effective immediately."
Wilson requested, and was granted, a quasi-
judicial employee appeals board hearing. Members
of the appeal board include: Ivan Pavlin, chairman;
Betty Gilford and Jim Kuliesh, members; Joe
Garbus and Cedric Wilson, alternates.
City Attorney Alan Prather said the appeals board
will render findings of fact, conclusions of law and a
final recommended order to the city council. Council
members will make the final determination on
whether Wilson's firing was correct or not


At issue is a DOT proposal to build a 75-foot-high,
fixed-span replacement bridge at Manatee Avenue across
the bay to Holmes Beach. Islanders opposed the bridge
plan on environmental and quality-of-life grounds. Meale,
a hearing officer with the Florida Division of Administra-
tive Hearings, conducted 12 days of hearings where DOT,
DEP and SAM attorneys pleaded their cases.
DOT and DEP attorneys said the bridge should be
built, more than $1 million had already been spent in
planning the span, environmental impacts would be
minor and could be easily mitigated and the bridge had
to be built to meet current safety concerns.
Levin said the community the bridge would serve
did not want the bridge, DOT erred in spending money
without proper permits in hand, the environmental
impacts would be serious and could not be mitigated
and the safety concerns DOT raised were specious.
Meale, for the most part, agreed with Levin and
issued orders recommending the permits DOT needed
from the DEP not be issued. Wetherell, in writing her
final orders on the matter, said water quality was not
adequately preserved by DOT's plans and she therefore
could not issue the necessary permits to allow the
bridge to be built.
Levin said a thrust of his appeal is to further erode
the chances of DOT attorneys successfully making a
case to build the bridge.


Alcee Taylor stands
outside the 1920s home-
stead that will soon be
home to 20th Century
Fox. Most of the Taylors'
personal items will be
packed up for the trans-

interior remnants of the
'21 hurricane will
remain, a decades-old
backdrop for a modern-
day tale. Islander Photos:
Cynthia Finn.







Alcee Taylor, 73, was taking it all in stride last
week as he gave a tour of the home he has known since
he was 2 years old. He said it will be harder on Betty,
who has a job to get to. But they were preparing to
move out this week "to a place they'll put us up in on
the beach," said Alcee.
"I just tell Betty to have faith it'll all work out,"
said Alcee with a smile.
He said he thinks the movie production will be
"something new and positive" for his historic neighbor-
hood. His only concern was that the movie "might be
about dopers," but that worry's been overcome.
The Taylors are moving out now so that some mi-
nor renovations can be made to their homestead prior
to filming. Professional movers have been hired to pack
up most of their furniture and personal items including
what Alcee calls "those dust catchers" decades of
memorabilia of family and Cortezian importance.
Alcee's father, Neriah Elijah Taylor, moved to Cortez
from North Carolina in 1908. Construction of the home
and downstairs boat-building shop was begun in 1923 out
of driftwood remnants of the big hurricane of '21.
Alcee stands in the living room. The east wall and
ceiling, he explains, are cypress. The west wall is pine.
The woods are dark and mellowed, offset by lace cur-
tains and the multitude of pictures and ornaments that
capture seven decades of history.
Alcee's mother, Leola, lived to be 95. In the '70s,
Alcee says, he moved the kitchen and dining area to the
south end of the home, so his mother could watch out over
the water. It is that kitchen, he believes, that will be remod-
eled and extended six feet by the film producers.
"Those waters out there are called the 'kitchen
flats,' you know," says Alcee, gazing past the wooden
porch and boats at rest to the calm shoreline of north-
ern Sarasota Bay.
"The flats were so rich in shellfish that when all
else failed, there was always food there."
At the opposite end of the house, he thinks they
may take a window out to make room for cameras.
Downstairs, the boat works shop houses a boat
from the '30s, decades-old tools of the trade, nets, lan-
terns, old charts, dozens of photographs, the 1925 re-
ceipt showing the first electric connection to the house
and much more.
"Yes," says Alcee, "I think they're filming in
here, too."
Alcee shares a copy of a poem he found on a recent
trip to North Carolina. It's about a kind neighbor who
brings the fish he caught and some of his wife's home-
made bread to a hungry household. It reminds Alcee of the
Cortez he knows, "real neighbors borrowing and sharing."
He's very calm in his willingness to move out of
his home and leave all the other details of the "major
movie" use of the homestead to the professionals.
Somehow the poem touches the same parts of his
heart and his pride that Hollywood coming to town does.
"I like the history part I think will be portrayed,"
says Alcee. "Something old the baby boomers can re-
spect. Something that will show what it was like."
It's quiet in Cortez Village this sunny June morn-
ing. Come July 18 or thereabouts, and no doubt before,
there's bound to be some commotion as this waterfront
stretch is transformed into a Hollywood set.
Alcee Taylor, for one, has great expectations.

Tax collector posts levy, seizure notice at Crabby Bill's


Even the dumpster gate was sealed last week,
barring lease tenants from entering Crabby Bill's. So
far, only Waste Management has been granted per-
mission to enter and collect the garbage. Everyone
else is on notice that nothing may be removed from
the property.
Manatee County's deputy tax collector, Ray
Williams, posted red notices on all the entries at
Crabby Bill's restaurant in Holmes Beach on June 7
for non-payment of the 1995 tangible personal prop-
erty tax.
Williams said the delinquent taxes are on the
equipment and furnishings used in conjunction with
the business. The notices include SGA Enterprises,
Inc., as well as Crabby Bill's. SGA is the lease
holder, a company owned by Holmes Beach resident
Bill Zalla.
Zalla was out of town when the tenants closed
Crabby Bill's on May 30. Williams said he is work-
ing with Zalla to resolve the matter. Witnesses re-
ported seeing a lease truck removing equipment
from the restaurant the day prior to Williams' sei-
zure notice.
The total amount of the delinquent personal tax
for 1995 is $10,359.16.


Council Chairman Luke Courtney said he plans
to write a letter to the state ethics commission re-
questing an opinion on the obligation to vote on
residential zoning restrictions for himself and Coun-
cilwoman Billie Martini.
Council members may only abstain if there is a
conflict of interest, primarily financial in nature.
Both council members own rental property in the
districts being considered for restrictions that will re-
strict the length of stay in residential neighborhoods.

and Gulf Drive, a non-conforming, grandfathered
motel in the R-2 residential district, but claims that
his other rentals operate with separate licenses and
tax numbers and no business is conducted at those

According to Courtney, "There are no restric-
tions as to minimum rental duration in R-1, R-2 and
R-3." He says that only restrictions as to the conduct
of business apply in those districts.

man Courtney includes:

the R-2 zone.

shown on our return as Val Loder, would take care
of all taxes, personal and real. I understand the un-
paid real estate taxes are more than $16,000."
According to Williams, the personal taxes are
not delinquent for 1996 but were due and payable on
the first day of business in the calendar year. Esti-
mated taxes for 1996 of $9,652.20 are shown on the
levy and seizure with the 1995 delinquent tax be-
cause the operator of the restaurant owes that
amount.
"Zalla indicated to me that he may have another
tenant for the restaurant and he plans on paying the
tax in full on his return to Manatee County," Will-
iams said.

Dock ownership, repair debated in Bradenton Beach


By Paul Roat
Is the time for folks sitting on docks on the bay
slowly ticking away?
That question is going through the minds of resi-
dents along Seventh and Eighth Streets South in
Bradenton Beach as city officials wrestle with who
owns or has jurisdiction over a set of piers jut-
ting into Anna Maria Sound off the ends of both streets.
Residents approached Councilman John Kaufmann,
whose district encompasses the area, several weeks ago
regarding repairing the structures. Kaufmann said he was
told a long-standing city policy was to provide material to
the residents for repairing the piers.
Kaufmann said he inspected the docks and found
them to be in a serious state of disrepair, with missing
planks and crumbling or missing pilings. At the advice
of the city's insurance carrier the docks were posted
with no-trespassing signs while ownership of the struc-
tures was researched and the city policy on use of the
docks uncovered.

... and who owns
another dock?
A dock adjacent at Third Street South off
Bay Drive in Bradenton Beach appears to have
been built without benefit of permits.
Building Official Bill Sanders, responding to
questions posed by resident Dick Griffin regard-
ing the southernmost of three docks in the area,
said he could find no information about the dock.
"It does not appear to be on Bridge Tender
property," Sanders said of a nearby restaurant.
A dock at the north end of the restaurant's
bayfront property there are three docks along
the waterfront there was permitted in 1991,
Sanders added.
Councilman Dick Suhre questioned whether
it was a private dock or public. "It is on city
property," he added.


L .

. JS t;-"--,.' 1- *


No trespassing signs have been posted at this dock at Eighth Street South in Bradenton Beach. The question now is
who owns the structure and whether it should be repaired or removed Islander Photo: Bonner Presswood


"These are city amenities," Kaufmann told the
council members last week. "It's like a public park, and
if they can be maintained, I think it would be OK."
He said permits were issued to repair the docks in
the early 1980s. Kaufmann said he favored providing
the materials to the residents for repairs.
Building Official Bill Sanders said he perceived a
problem with resident repair because, under state build-
ing codes, the planking and piling work would need to
be done by a licensed contractor.
City Attorney Alan Prather requested, and re-
ceived, council approval to research the matter and at-
tempt to find a solution with Sanders.
"This appears to be something of a hybrid situa-

tion," Prather said. "They appear to be partly city docks
and partly private." Prather's solutions may evolve into
leasing the structures to the residents or selling them to
the neighbors at a nominal charge.
John Merrigan, a third-generation resident in the
neighborhood of the docks, said neighbors had always
had access to the structures. "Everyone on the street is
willing to work with you on this," he said.
Sandra Tyner, of Eighth Street South, said the
docks had been permitted for more than 30 years. "If
you haven't had a problem for 30 years, I don't believe
you will have a problem now," she said.
The matter will be placed on the June 20 Bradenton
Beach City Council agenda for further discussion.

Holmes Beach to

pursue lease for

GTE tower

on city land
By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
Holmes Beach is in pursuit. City council will con-
sider an offer by GTE to lease city land for the con-
struction of a cellular phone tower.
The city received a letter from Bob Kersteen, site
acquisition manager for GTE, offering the city $9,600
per year to lease city land for the tower, Council Chair-
man Luke Courtney announced in the absence of
Mayor Bob VanWagoner.
Several weeks ago, Kersteen appeared before the
council seeking a special exception permit to construct
a 161-foot cellular phone tower at the Homes Beach
Marina. Council rejected the proposal after residents in
the marina area objected.
At that meeting, City Attorney Steve Dye said the
company could place the tower on city land if heirs of
the residents who donated the land to the city signed
waivers. Dye said this is necessary because any prop-
erty donated to a public body must be used for public
purposes or it reverts to the grantor.
One of the objectors to the marina tower site was
Hugh Holmes Sr., whose father was the donor of the
city hall site.
Council directed its attorney to research the possi-
bility, but the mayor directed the attorney not to enter
into dialogue with GTE representatives, said Council-
woman Carol Whitmore.
"We need to have our attorney do what we asked,"
she stressed.
GTE should pay the city's attorney to do the re-
search, Council members Billie Martini and Ron
Robinson said.
Councilman Don Maloney said he has no objec-
tions to leasing the land to GTE if the money is used
to increase the city's recreational facilities.
Courtney cited recent newspaper articles on the


'Fishing the Islands' tourney this weekend
Offshore and inshore anglers will compete for $20,000 in cash and merchandise prizes in the fourth annual
"Fishing the Islands" multi-species tournament this weekend. A captains' meeting Friday night precedes
fishing and weigh-ins from 6:30 a.m. Saturday to midnight. The post-tourney party runs from noon to 4p.m.
Sunday at the Anna Maria Island Community Center, 407Magnolia Ave., Anna Maria, and is open to every-
one. Admission will be $10 for adults, $5 for children 6-12 years and free for little ones. Glenn Gee's crew,
pictured, took first place last year with five grouper and a red snapper. For more information, call tournament

proliferation of cellular towers and successful efforts
to hide them in church steeples and signs or disguise
them as trees. One article also noted that according to
federal law,'municipalities cannot ban wireless service.
In other business, Courtney cited the mayor's
memos on limiting council contacts with the city at-
torney and said the mayor is trying to cut costs. He
said council members should give proposed legisla-
tion to him or Maloney to put in final form and send


to the attorney. Courtney said council members must
seek the mayor's permission prior to contacting the
attorney.
Courtney directed fellow council members to get
the mayor's permission to seek information from the
city clerk.
Council agreed that the mayor can use city supplies
and equipment to produce and distribute his newslet-
ter to residents.

Olive branch

offer or greed?
Holmes Beach officials apparently are consid-
ering offering an olive branch or a cellular phone
tower to GTE.
Seems GTE discovered from its customer base
that cell phone service wasn't very good on parts of
the Island. The company came up with a solution to
improve the reception by building a 160-foot tower
near the Holmes Beach Marina. The city council,
rightfully, rejected the idea because of resident ob-
jections.
Come on, if we oppose a 65-foot-high bridge
shouldn't we reject a tower twice as high?
Now GTE has asked for a lease of city-owned
land near city hall for its tower and at least one city
official isn't objecting if the money goes for recre-
ational uses.
First off, we ran across a note from Mount
Vernon, Va., about a cell tower on George
Washington's estate. It seems the owners of the
500-acre home of the first president insisted on
camouflaging their cell tower. Their "treepole" is
disguised as a white fir tree with needles and bark
of plastic and rubber. Other towers are disguised as
everything from silos to lighthouses as they prolif-
erate the U.S. landscape.
Then we ran across another interesting note.
GTE, it seems, is phasing out its tall towers in lieu
of lots and lots of shorter antennas. One estimate
calls for the rental of commercial rooftops through-
out the country that could bring upward of $1 bil-
lion a year from cellular services.
Here's a quote from Byron Smith, area presi-
dent of GTE Mobilnet of Florida: "We have gone to
shorter and shorter antennas because they're bet-
ter." All that's needed, it seems, is a building at
least five stories high.
The Martinique condo in Holmes Beach is six
stories tall, by the way.
Rents range from $200 to more than $3,000 per
month nationwide and contracts usually run for five
years.
So why are we dealing with a 161-foot-high
tower when we could have a hidden antenna placed
on the roof of the Martinique?
Could it be that the city is hoping to get the rev-
enue from GTE at the cost of an eyesore on the the
Island skyline?
Well, maybe they just don't know ...

YOUR :9] I


Reader looks for old friend
Recently I came across an opinion letter in The
Islander Bystander concerning the "Red Tide War,"
from James Zucker.
If you are originally from Green Bay, Wis., and have
a wife named Eve, please contact me through the paper.
Your wife and I went to college at the University
of Wisconsin together but have lost track of one an-
other over the years.
Joyce Vilensky, Longboat Key
Island chamber not
what it should be
Coming to this Island you join organizations with
principles you believe in.
Reference to article "Brockman gets permanent
chamber position," The Islander, May 23.
The article states that 24 applications were re-
ceived, narrowed to three by the search committee.
Then one finalist did not show up for the interview,
now down to two. The search committee left the final
decision to the board who had already made its mind
up (reference to statement by T. Dolly Young, second
vice president, "she was definitely in favor of Mary
Ann). The chamber officers just went through the mo-
tions to look as if they play by the rules.
I question the statement made by Don Howard,
vice president, "that a man of the background Mr.
Snook came with would expect a serious 'working'
commitment from chambers members," and also, "if
we don't commit, he might be gone and we would have
lost Mary Ann."
I don't understand these remarks because I feel the
community is bustling with small businesses who need
all the help they can get and would be eager to serve if
the approach was right.
The officials of the Island chamber just change
titles and the ruling body stays the same and will until
it is reorganized with principles perceived at inception.
Mr. Howard states the reason for belonging to the
chamber is benefits.
There are no benefits for business owners in this
community who belong to the Island chamber. To the
officers and board of the Anna Maria Island Chamber
of Commerce -you are non-productive for the work-


ing little-people membership.
Netty Yarbrough
Islander fills void
on bridge reporting
As the silent path of the Florida Department of
Transportation's plan for two six-story bridges traveled
smoothly through the approval of the regional Metro-
politan Planning Organization, there was a lack of pub-
lic awareness and knowledge of the scope and conse-
quences of the project.
The Islander Bystander stepped in and filled that
void with coherent, sustained reporting of the back-
ground, new information, and the stubborn facts.
Your consistent and encompassing coverage of the
twin-bridge plan and of its carefully maneuvered progress
toward construction, gave all Islanders the story. And,
therein, gave people the tools with which to learn precisely
and accurately, the facts: including the incontrovertible
risks to the water quality of Anna Maria Sound during
construction, the years-long permit negotiations between
DOT and the Department of Environmental Protection,
and violations of state statutes during the planning process.
Thank you for keeping a vigilant watch on Anna
Maria Island and for reporting fairly and carefully
what you see.
Anna Shaw, Holmes Beach
Hey, mayor! Good guys use
cellular phones, too
Editor's note: This letter was addressed to Holmes
Beach Mayor Bob VanWagoner.
I must take umbrage to your implication that only
sophisticated criminals and drug dealers use cell phones.
I am an unsophisticated criminal and certainly not a
drug dealer and I use a cellular phone for all my activities
- except on the Island where reception is so poor I can't
reach my nefarious associates or even my wife.
I love the Island ambiance just as you do, but with-
out my phone and fax I wouldn't be able to keep mak-
ing enough money to support the wonderful activities
that you folks and the community center do.
So you see, Your Honor, us working stiffs really do
need the cellular phone tower.

THOSE WERE THE BIYS
Part 2, Anna Maria Island & the Seminole War,
1835-1842, by June Alder


Peaceful Fort Brooke (Tampa) in the late 1820s.


CAPTAIN BUNCE

PROTESTS


The slaying of 105 American sol-
diers in the "Dade Massacre" of Christ-
mas Week 1835 shattered the peace of
Tampa Bay.
For the next seven years it would be
the center of one of the most shameful
episodes in U.S. history: the expulsion of


thousands of Seminole
Indians from their
Florida homeland. Fort
Brooke (Tampa) was
the deportation stage
and military hub of the
conflict Egmont Key,
tiny Passage Key and
Anna Maria Island also
had roles in the tragedy.
When President
Andrew Jackson, the
old Florida Indian
fighter, heard about
the Dade disaster he
sent 14 companies of
regulars to Florida in


Fitzpatrick, called for the destruction of
the fisheries. He charged that the rancho
owners not wanting to lose their In-
dian workers were siding with the
Seminoles, too.
This was not the first time there had
been talk like this. A year before his as-


'The people of Florida are
in a most distressed state,
literally without a govern-
ment, without concert of
action... a universal dis-
trust seems to pervade the
whole Community ... all
seem distracted in the
general cry of something
must be done, while all
oppose every measure
which can be suggested.'


addition to militia from the Southern
states. He appointed to command them
one of his best officers, Gen. Winfield
Scott (later to lead Lincoln's Union
army). Jackson's instructions were
simple: end the rebellion fast.
But in the first battles along the
Withlacoochee River in Seminole territory
American forces came offbadly. So badly
that Jackson's aide in charge of his "Indian
removal" program wrote the President:
"The people of Florida are in a most dis-
tressed state, literally without a govern-
ment, without concert of action ... a uni-
versal distrust seems to pervade the whole
Community ... all seem distracted in the
general cry of something must be done,
while all oppose every measure which can
be suggested."
Seminole bands soon started to
move south, burning farms and stealing
cattle. At Fort Brooke they sniped at
pickets, sometimes dancing and shout-
ing out of reach of their muskets, then
melting into the woods. The garrison
commander cut down many fine old oak
trees there so as not to provide cover for
the Indians.
There were reports of guns and am-
munition for the Seminoles being landed
from Spanish ships cruising the coast.
The rancho people came under suspi-
cion from the territorial legislative coun-
cil, and its chairman, Richard


sassination by Semi-
nole leader Osceola,
Indian Agent Wiley
Thompson tried to
have rancho people
with Indian blood de-
ported to the West
along with the Semi-
noles.
But Captain Will-
iam Bunce, who had a
large rancho at the
mouth of the Manatee
River, protested. He
insisted his employees
of mixed blood were
completely loyal to the


United States, and his good friend and
fellow Connecticut native Judge
Augustus Steele (also postmaster and
customs collector at Tampa Bay)
backed him up.
"They are entirely identified by habit,
occupation and intermarriage with people
of another nation, of different pursuits and
modes of life, and incapable of supporting
themselves by ordinary Indian means,"
the judge argued. "By driving them from
the sea, you would take from them their
only resource and place them in absolute
want."
Steele had good connections in
Washington and Thompson's order was
countermanded. Fitzpatrick's proposal
likewise came to naught.
Meanwhile, the war build-up was
continuing. Navy ships from Key West
and Pensacola were patrolling the
coastline and transports were coming
and going bringing in hundreds of
troops. Towards the end of March 1836
the quartermaster at Fort Brooke hired
Captain Bunce as a pilot, calling him
"one of the most intelligent men on the
coast and highly respectable."
Bunce intended to prove he was
loyal and trustworthy, too.
Still, the fishermen and their fami-
lies at his rancho remained apprehen-
sive, wondering what was going to hap-
pen next.

Holmes Beach city hall plans moving forward


By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
During two recent Holmes Beach City Council
meetings, plans for a new city hall moved along faster
than the previous months' snails' pace.
After hearing a presentation at a May 28 special
meeting, council agreed that the present city hall is not
usable by the city. The presentation was made by Anita
Fletcher for her husband, architect Patterson Fletcher,
who was unable to attend.
Council members gave ideas on cutting costs and
at last week's work session and discussed building on
a new site and leasing the old city hall to the Anna
Maria Island Community Center.

Present city hall building
not useable
One of the council's original requests was to con-
sider remodeling the current city hall; however, the size
of the building would eliminate space for future expan-
sion Fletcher said. In addition, renovation costs were
estimated at $62,000 $31,000 to repair the leaking
roof and walls and $31,000 to bring the building into
compliance with the federal Americans with Disabili-
ties Act.
"The new building was recommended because it
met all current and future needs, would comply with
ADA and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management
Agency) requirements and would be a more efficient
way of doing that," she said.
The present building is three feet below the base
flood elevation, Fletcher said. "If you raise the floor,
you have to raise the walls, windows and doors and
redo the mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems,"
she said. "The costs are back to new construction costs
- $90,000 to $100,000. The dollars you would spend
to put it into compliance would be the same as you
would spend in a new building."
Councilwoman Carol Whitmore noted that FEMA
only allows a non-conforming building to be improved
by 50 percent of its value. The building is presently
valued at $61,000.
To be used as an annex the building would have to
meet ADA requirements, Fletcher said.

And, there are numerous statutory requirements for
records storage, according to City Clerk Leslie Ford.
They have to be kept in fireproof, waterproof areas and
be easily accessible.
Councilman Ron Robinson asked if he could
double check with FEMA on attaching the building to
a new structure, and council agreed.

Cost-cutting suggestions
Whitmore suggested giving Fletcher a budget of
$750,000 for the building and $100,000 for furnishings.
His last revised plan was priced at $950,000.
"The architect can build a $750,000 building or a
$500,000 building, but it may be entirely inappropri-
ate," Robinson pointed out. "We need to determine
what size building we need. We can't just pick a fig-
ure with no basis in fact."
VanWagoner said he felt the building could be
built for $850,000 with an additional $250,000 for in-
flation, build-out and furnishings.
Other suggestions included:
An Island-style design with more windows than
previously shown.
An entrance on Marina Drive as well as one from
the parking lot.
One rest room for the public and one for employ-
ees.
Break, conference and work rooms shared by
employees.
Work spaces defined by moveable partitions.
A central records storage area.
Solar water heating.
Skylights.
Covered entrances and walkways.
An area away from the door for smokers.
Council asked Fletcher to bring preliminary design
plans to the June 25 council meeting.

Move the building site
and lease old city hall
The idea of moving the building site came after
council learned how much it would cost to relocate the
police department and its communications system dur-
ing construction.

Courtney announced that an 11,000-square-foot
portable building would cost $7,000 to install and re-
move, $5,000 to hook up to water, electric and sewer
and $13,000 in annual rent. The department would
need two portables for a total of nearly $50,000. An
additional cost of $15,000 would be incurred to switch
over the communications system.
"My recommendation is to put city hall somewhere
else, for example in the parking lot or at the end of the
property near the library," Courtney said. "We could
vacate these buildings at one time, tear them down and
landscape the area."
Courtney said he will consult with Fletcher about
ideas for relocating city hall.
Courtney said he advocates renting the old city hall
to the Center for $1 per year, providing they bring the
building into ADA compliance. "They could spend
$30,000 and get a 1,500-square-foot building to aug-
ment their operations. We would save $11,000 on
demolition costs."

Poet
Dear Dad, there are so many things I
want to tell you on this Father's Day,
And they are words that when I was
younger I found so hard to say.
About all the advice you gave me, some-
how it didn't seem just right,
And I would be so stubborn, that we
came close to a fight.
But now as I grow older, I see why you
acted as you did,
And I didn't know from nothing 'cause I
was just a kid.
And any success I may have, before my
life is through,
Is because of the way you guided me and
I owe it all to you.

Holmes Beach

fence ordinance

delayed for

attorney reply
By Pat Copeland
Islander Reporter
The Holmes Beach City Council postponed a
second reading of an ordinance allowing six-foot
fences until the attorney responds to a question on
liability.
The ordinance was drafted to enable Carla and
Alexander Quizon of 302 58th St. to build a six-foot
fence in their yard. Their property has three poten-
tial front yards with boundaries on Holmes Boule-
vard, 58th and 60th Streets.
According to city ordinance, six-foot fences are
only permitted in back yards with adjoining property
owners' permission.
Last January, council agreed to proceed with an
ordinance change for properties that border on more
than one street. According to the proposed ordi-
nance, the front yard would be the one listed as the
address on the county tax roll. There are presently 16
such properties in the city.
At the ordinance's first reading in May, Council-
man Ron Robinson posed a question concerning
safety and liability. He said swimming pools require
four-foot fences, but one of the reasons given for the
ordinance change was safety. He felt the city might
incur liability due to the discrepancy.
The question was sent to the attorney but the
council had not received a reply prior to the meeting.
Council Chairman Luke Courtney asked if council
wanted to postpone the vote until the attorney re-
sponds.
"I think we should vote on it tonight," Council-
woman Carol Whitmore said. "Everybody has the
right to have a six-foot fence in his back yard."

Pop quiz: what is Flag Day?


By Cynthia Finn
Islander Reporter
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress in
Philadelphia, Pa., authorized the first "official" design
of the American flag the "Stars and Stripes" featur-
ing 13 stars and 13 stripes.
At that time the 13 colonies were fighting for free-
dom from Great Britain. As a symbol of the united ef-
fort and of independence, one flag for all was suggested
and adopted.
The sponsor of the first national flag law is be-
lieved to have originated in the Marine Committee and
some sources credit a member of theNaval Board,
Francis Hopkinson, with the design for the 13-star flag.
According to legend, Betsy Ross made the first
flag. Betsy Ross did live in Philadelphia and for many
years she made flags for government and private use.
But historians have been unable to find solid evidence
that she made and/or designed the first flag.
There has never been an official explanation for the
symbolism of the colors, which came from British flags
with which the colonists were familiar. However,
some say that red stands for hardiness and courage,
white for purity and innocence and blue for vigilance.
A flag similar to the "Stars and Stripes" called the
"Continental Colors" with 13 stripes but the British
Union Jack where the stars would go was in use in
1775. John Paul Jones is believed to have hoisted this
flag as the Navy ensign when Commodore Esek
Hopkins became the commander in chief of the New
Continental Navy.
This flag was also raised on Prospect Hill near
Cambridge, Mass., George Washington's headquarters,
on Jan. 1, 1776, as the flag of the Continental Army,
and became the first "national" flag on July 4, 1776.
But it was never officially adopted and that flag was
replaced by the emblem described in the Continental
Congress resolution of June 14, 1777.
Among "the firsts" commonly accepted for the flag
established by Congress are:
On a ship at sea, Nov. 1, 1777, the Ranger, com-
manded by Jones, sailing from Portsmouth, N.H.
In combat at sea, November 1777, Jones' Ranger
captured two brigantines and sent them into French
ports as prizes.
In ground combat, the so-called "Bennington Flag,"
Aug. 16, 1777, at the battle of Bennington, Vt., when
2,000 Green Mountain Boys under Gen. John Stark wiped
out the British forces, contributing to the later defeat of
Gen. John Burgoyne at Saratoga, N.Y. The flag of the
Third Maryland Regiment at the battle of Cowpens, S.C.,
on Jan. 17, 1781, reflected more accurately the terms of
the flag law of June 14, 1777. The stars, however, were


arranged in a circle of 12 with one in the center.
First foreign recognition, Feb. 14, 1778, a sa-
lute of nine guns from the French fleet in answer to
a salute of 13 guns by Jones as he entered Quiberon
Bay near Brest, France. On April 24 Jones compelled
a British man-of-war to strike its flag to the Ameri-
can Flag.
Over a schoolhouse, May 1812, at Colrain,
Mass.
On the moon, July 20, 1969, planted in the
Mare Tranquillitatis by Apollo 11 astronauts.
From 1795 to 1818 including the flag that
flew over Fort McHenry in 1814, inspiring Francis
Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner" -
the American flag had 15 stars and 15 stripes, despite
the fact that there were 18 states in 1814.
In 1818, Congress restored the original 13 stripes
and ordered the addition of one star for each new state,
with the addition to be made on the July Fourth succeed-
ing the state's admission. For along time the stars were
arranged in various ways in the shape of a star, in
ovals or circles, in rows or simply scattered.
In 1912, President William Howard Taft ordered
an official pattern. His executive order also included
the proper legal dimensions of the flag overall -
hoist or height, 1 unit, versus fly or length, 1.9 units
- and the corresponding interior dimensions.
The first Flag Day was observed in Hartford,
Conn., on June 14, 1861. In Philadelphia in 1893,
Flag Day was celebrated for the first time in public
schools. On Aug. 3, 1949, President Harry S. Truman
approved a resolution designating June 14 annually
as a national Flag Day.

0me,


Big, big fish
We headed out early for plenty of bait, hoping for
a long day of back bay fishing for reds, snook and trout
with Capt. Mike Heistand.
A little talk about recent sightings of tarpon on the
beach sent us for a few pinfish after we'd filled the bait
well with shiners. We thought we'd take a quick run
out on the beach and see what happened.
What happened? We saw a hundred or more tarpon
in two pods heading south together from Bean Point
down the beach. Although Capt Mike and David Futch
(a third-generation tarpon fisherman) tempted them
four or five times, there were no takers. A couple of the
hundred-pound-plus tarpon turned toward the bait but
turned back into the school just as quickly. They were
traveling.
We followed them as far south as Bradenton Beach
in the Gulf and watched several other anglers take their
shots at the silver kings but still there were no tak-
ers among the big fish.
These fish seemed so determined and undeterred that
when asked, "Where are they going?" Capt. Mike said,
"They must be headed to Boca Grande." He also said he'd
never seen them bite when they're traveling like that.


Clyde Mclnnis' Snead Island Crab & Bait House has been in operation for more than 30 years. The establish-
ment is located on a cut between Terra Ceia Bay and the Manatee River. Islander Photos: David Futch


We headed back to find a large cobia running
across the sandbar at the north end. He wasn't inter-
ested in dining either.
On a run around Passage Key, a wildlife sanctuary
between the north end of Anna Maria and Egmont Key,
we saw a school of jacks, some permit and a five-foot
shark in about a foot of water on the beach. We cast to
them but none of them were hungry.
We headed over to the other side of the Sunshine

Later in the day, a legal-size redfish hooked up
with Futch and we had our dinner. It cooked up "fine
as kind," lightly blackened with some black beans and
rice on the side.

Passing time
During the afternoon, we passed a little time wait-
ing for the tide to turn at the Snead Island Crab & Bait
House. The bait house, the store, the docks and the
people there are from another era a long forgotten
Florida.
Unfortunately, for owner Clyde McInnis, it's
nearly surrounded by folks who don't appreciate the
simple way of life that attracted most of us here in the
first place. McInnis is surrounded by a fancy marina,
millions of dollars worth of Grand Banks trawlers and
the prospects of more to come across the cut.
He's being fancied out of his 30-year investment.
His Florida time warp.
And all this time, just up from McInnis's bait house
on the Snead Island cut between Terra Ceia Bay and the
Manatee River, the Bradenton Yacht Club has co-ex-
isted without the present problems experienced by
Mclnnis and his bait house.
According to McInnis, Marlow Marine took him to
court, saying his property had devalued theirs. McInnis
said, "So far I paid them (he gestures three zeros)," and
offered credit for that to his attorney, Wade Thompson.
McInnis is enough of a realist to recognize that
it's probably not over. "They'll come back," he said,
"but I'll be ready for 'em. I'm not giving up what I


Capt. Mike with the jack plate on his new boat.

worked 30 years for."
McGinnis said Thompson and a few other lawyers
he knows in Bradenton have paintings of his marina on
their walls. We left McGinnis with the hope that those
paintings don't become nostalgia 'cause the Snead
Island Crab & Bait House is a real slice of Florida.
If you're looking for some good blue crabs or oys-
ters, head on over there and visit with Clyde and his
friends. You'll go home with supper for the table and
we hear the bait's good, too.

Draft, is a grand fishing machine. It runs "slicker than

snot" across grass flats, racing over "skinny" water
without stirring a blade of grass, thanks to the patented
hull design.
Bob Whitehead of Terra Ceia designed this boat
for the commercial fishing industry but took a differ-
ent tack when the net ban was passed in 1995. He pat-
ented the design, a deep V configuration on the forward
part of the craft and a tunnel design aft, and it's in full
production at a boat works near Cedar Key.
With Whitehead's design, the outboard sits on a
"jack plate" that moves up and down in the tunnel
range. The propeller never drops below the keel on the
22-foot center console boat. Consequently, it runs in as
little as six inches of water.
There's no winding along the Intracoastal or
through finger channels to get to the hot spots with
Capt. Mike. You practically fly there.
The gunnels are wide and flat, leaving lots of room
to walk and fish all the way around the boat. The eight-
foot, eight-inch wide beam makes for a very comfort-
able set-up for fishing.
We were really pleased when we flew back across
the bay at dusk, running about 50 mph back to port with
our catch. We were just amazed at how much more
fishing time we had and at the fact that the boat
made so much difference.
It was a great day on the water. A perfect day in
paradise.

'Primary Colors' by Anonymous
To credit a pseudo-sensational political expose to
an anonymous author during an election year probably
guaranteed that this book would be hyped. I found the
book to be a series of trenchant characterizations con-
nected by rambling dialogue. The perceived accuracy
by the "insider" author tends to encourage the reader
to turn at least one more page. This book surely quali-
fies for Ambrose Bierce's reflections on another book,
"the covers of this book are too far apart."

this one written by real life Denver bookseller, Dun-
ning. The main character, Cliff Janeway, is an ex-cop
turned seller of rare books. On the trail of a rumored
handcrafted book by a legendary genius bookmaker,
each puzzling discovery links the mysterious book to
a series of murders. Lots of fun literary allusions keep
this novel entertaining and challenging.

A highly imaginative, almost credible story of ruth-

with a surfeit of details on the use of computers in this

Paint the molasses barge pink


By Bob Ardren
Outdoor Perspectives
How the screw does turn. At the moment, local
designated shellfishing areas are actually open, but
Apalachicola Bay is closed.
It's that big patch of red tide I mentioned two
weeks ago. Reports keep saying it may run from
Florida's Big Bend all the way to Texas.
With the mouth of the Mississippi somewhere out
in the middle of that mess, speculation about Gulf pol-
lution coming down the Mighty M has more credence.
But the truth is, nobody really knows yet what causes
the outbreaks.
Maybe the renewed interest in red tide research
we're seeing locally (at Mote Marine Lab) can help
determine what triggers the explosive growth of the red
tide critters. (Every article on the subject seems to have
to make the statement that red tide outbreaks are some-
how "natural." Well, there have been outbreaks for a
very long time, so even how much blame to put on man
is unknown.)
So if you've got a favorite clam or oyster bed
tucked away in an approved area, now's the time to do
a little harvesting. Gonna share?

Slash your water bill
Forget buying fertilizer, and soon you may begin
seeing butterflies in your yard again. It works for me
- you can learn how too as we celebrate Florida Yard
Awareness Month.
The natural beauty of coastal Florida continues to
attract people lots of people. But obviously fast
growth in coastal communities has taken its toll on our
fragile ecosystems.
You might say we're trampling some of the very
reasons we all came to Florida.
So the Sarasota and Tampa Bay national estuary
programs, with the help of the University of Florida,
are sponsoring a series of Florida Yard and Neighbor-
hood events this month. You're invited.
Workshops will show how a Florida-style yard
works just as well for an individual homeowner as it

does as part of the big picture of saving Florida, or at
least what's left of it. A Florida yard means less work,
less cost and more beauty.
And it really does help save the health of our local
waters. The programs also address the very serious
problem of stormwater-runoff pollution. Runoff from
lawns and streets, carrying nitrogen fertilizer, pesti-
cides and even heavy metals from the streets, are a
major source of the pollution that reaches local waters.
If you'd like to see a demonstration, stroll on over
to the Tingley Memorial Library in Bradenton Beach.
If your visa is in order, you can visit the Town of
Longboat Key Park. But if you do that, be careful down
there they seem to have their knickers in a twist this
month'over not getting a new bridge on Cortez Rd.
Willing to get a little dirt under your fingernails
and put some plants into the ground? Volunteers are
needed to help plan a demonstration Florida Yard Sat-
urday June 22 at the Sarasota Bay Program office. That
program is from 9 a.m. until noon at the program of-

Why should you care? Americans spend more than
$1 billion a year on pesticides, and most end up where

stopped spraying around most of that chemical crap.
Remember what happened to the pelicans when we
stopped using DDT? They slowly became abundant
again after nearly becoming extinct the same with
eagles and other birds of prey. What you do, what ac-
tions you take, make a difference whether you want
to believe it or not.

of his very able volunteer Florida Yard advisers to
speak to your condo, community group or that bull-
headed mad sprayer in your neighborhood, give Gar-
ner a call at 316-1000. He'll be glad to help.

Reef Reacher case still pending
Lt.j.g. Lang at the U.S. Coast Guard Safety Office
in Tampa says the Reef Reacher case is still under re-
view. Thought you might like to know.

Quick, paint the molasses barge
"A free-swimming, seven-foot-long green moray eel
could help make Dade County wreck-diving capital of the
Americas," the Miami Herald proclaimed Sunday.
Miami is hoping to make big money from diving.
A couple of weeks ago savvy city promoters brought
some northern travel writers down and took them
wreck diving on the artificial near-shore reefs in the
area. They were thrilled, according to the Herald (who
wouldn't be with a four-day, all-expenses-paid trip?)
Anyway, those writers will go back and tell their read-
ers about this new thing to do in Miami: diving local
reefs that consist mainly of sunken boats and ships
originally put there to attract fish for fishers.
Miami Beach is so excited that the local chamber
of commerce is talking about raising money to sink
more ships and attract more wreck divers. So maybe we
should paint the molasses barge. Here's betting lots of
folks who rarely, if ever, feel warm water on their bod-
ies would find it fascinating.
Pink would be a nice color. It would match the
sunsets, attract a few paying guests every summer and
not require any smokestacks or even time clocks.
See you next week.

Tarpon schools starting to show off offshore shallows


By Capt. Mike Heistand
Look for tarpon to start to come into the beaches
any day now. There are a few scattered reports of the
big fish around, but as the water and winds calm down
there should be more of the big silver kings. Backwa-
ter anglers are finding lots of catch-and-release snook
and trout Offshore, look for snapper and grouper.
Kevin at the Rod and Reel Pier said pier fishers
there have been catching mangrove snapper, mackerel,
sheepshead and flounder. One lucky or unlucky -
angler even snagged a tarpon, which promptly took his
entire spool of line before breaking off.
Ken at the Anna Maria City Pier said anglers

there are catching mackerel, bluefish, redfish, some
sharks, sting rays and some catch-and-release snook.
Jim at the Bradenton Beach Fishing Pier said
they're still catching a few sheepshead and reds, with
the redfish action coming mostly at night.
Lee at Miss Cortez Fishing Fleet said the four-
hour trips averaged 90 head of Key West grunts. The
six-hour trips averaged 125 head of Key West grunts,
porgies, lane snapper and black grouper. The nine-hour
trips averaged 30 head of mangrove snapper, black
grouper and Key West grunts..
Capt. Zach on the Dee Jay II says reds, trout and
catch-and-release snook continue to please his charters.
Chris at Galati Yacht Basin said snook are run-
ning very large and numerous offshore in the bays -
naturally, since the season just closed. Offshore, an-
gling action is centering on snapper, grouper and lots
of school dolphin with the occasional cobia.
Carl at Perico Island Bait & Tackle said fishing
has been really good of late. Wade fishers are catching
mangroves, and the tides have been cooperating with
most of the fishing.
Capt. Rick Gross said he's finding snook to be the
best catch of the week, with some really big linesiders
caught and released in the past week.
On my boat Magic we've been spotting lots of tar-
pon offshore. Backwater fishing is focused on snook -
catch and release only plus a few big trout.
Capt. Tom Chaya said he's been catching some
of those elusive tarpon plus snook and a few jacks.
