Borderline Livin'

Ken and I hang out in the strangest places, but most of the time it is relaxing. NOT when we go to the jetties!

OMG! It is rock climbing while fishing! But the jetties are vital to Florida’s East Coast. Please click through to read more...

Ken and I fished some Brim from the Rodman Dam to feed our turtles.

The Kirkpatrick Dam, originally and widely known as the Rodman Dam, is a highly controversial structure built in 1968 on the Ocklawaha River in Putnam County, Florida. Please click through to read more...

FWC launches “Cast for Cash” pilot program to study recreational fish releases. Click on the link in the comments below 👇to apply!

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is launching a new pilot research program that pays recreational anglers to help scientists collect valuable data on released reef fish.

The program, called “Cast for Cash: It Pays to Fish for Science,” invites private recreational anglers in the Tampa Bay region to record fishing trips using a temporary camera system installed on their boat. In exchange for providing this data, selected anglers can earn $250 per trip for up to six trips, or as much as $1,500 during a three month research period.

The project will help scientists better understand how many fish are caught and released during recreational fishing trips and evaluate whether onboard camera systems can provide accurate data for fisheries research.

How the program works

FWC will randomly select 16 private recreational anglers for each three-month research period between July 2026 and September 2027. Fishing trips will be recorded using a camera system FWC temporarily installs on the participant’s boat. Anglers will also communicate with FWC biologists, plan trips in advance and maintain records of released fish.

Participants must meet these requirements:

Hold a recreational fishing license with the State Reef Fish Angler designation.
Live in a household that is in possession of a boat.
Launch from the Tampa Bay region (Hernando, Pasco, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee or Sarasota counties).
Be 18 years or older and have no resource violations.

Ken is like most anglers who tell fisherman's tales. At one time, he would have said the baby red he caught the other night was a 24 incher, but now he uses a measuring tape 😁.

A "fisherman's tale" is an idiom for an exaggerated, boastful, or unbelievable story, typically regarding the size of a fish caught or an adventurous experience. It stems from the stereotype that fishermen exaggerate their catches. Common synonyms include "fish story," "tall tale," or simply an exaggeration.

Subs and fishing go together, and every time we stop in, the Subway on Cheney is the cleanest we have ever been in 💚.

Subway was founded in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, as "Pete's Super Submarines" by 17-year-old Fred DeLuca and family friend Dr. Peter Buck to fund DeLuca's college tuition.

"Subway" was renamed by the original founders in 1968, and the chain began franchising in 1974. Please click through to read more

Stop in the Subway when you are in that area. We are sure you will give them a 5 ⭐️ review as we did. Check it out in the link in the comments below 👇...
