May- Page #1

April showers? We saw one decent rain the whole month of April.  Maybe (hopefully!) this year we will get May showers.

April 1st, we attended the Spring Festival in Horseshoe Beach. They seem to have pretty much recovered from Hurricane Hermine.  The restaurant has reopened in a new/safer location and there is a new apparel shop.

On April 15th, we enjoyed the Fly In, in Cross City. Two bi-planes performed death defying stunts and there was also an old car show and many venders. It was a great show!

In the centerfold, pages 12 and 13, I am reprinting an article, CATCHING AIR, Those Magnificent Suwannee Jumping Sturgeon, by Ken Sulak.  We first ran this article in 2012. It is a very interesting and enjoyable read, and worth a reprint!  You might also like the crocodilian info on page 6.

This month’s recipe, Shrimp with Cauliflower Grits and Arugula, on page 17, was fun to make and good to eat. The grits are grated cauliflower. Check it out! Cary isn’t a lover of grits, but he does like cauliflower with cheese, and he really likes cauliflower grits.

We have some storage space for rent in our building on SR 349, about 13 miles north of Old Town. See page 20.

Please remember to thank the people at the location where you picked up this FREE magazine you are holding, and don’t forget to let our advertisers know how much you appreciate them. No advertisers, equals no Coastal Angler. (Now that’s a scary thought!)

Get outside and enjoy this gorgeous, low humidity weather. Heat and high humidity are just days away. A great way to enjoy this weather is on the water with one of our very knowledgeable/experienced guides.

Don’t forget to do something special for your mother on May 14th!
