Greetings loyal TVAngler reader!
As most of you already know, I recently decided to ditch the Huntsville/New Market, AL, area for sunny Florida. It’s been a long, slow, arduous process so far – the tale of which, filled with excitement, romance, despair, anxiety, bureaucracy and copious amounts of rum would fill pages upon pages.

Sebastian Inlet is just south of Melbourne and boasts a variety of accompaniments – a beautiful beach, boardwalk and store, surfing, boating and, yes, fishing. A large bridge hacks the park in half with the ocean pouring in to or out of the inlet, depending on tide. Matter of fact, when the tide’s really cookin, the water flow looks like a formidable white water rafting river. The inlet side, to the right of the bridge, has a great little lagoon area, with a nice sloping white-sand beach for families to relax and play in. The ocean side, one the left, sports some fantastic waves for surfers and more energetic beach goers. Continue reading A sign from above…
