Thanks Rik! I don't get on the forums too often these days but good to see things still kickin. Nicely done. You had me looking at the Destinations section in pf.com for Keys destinations, but I didn't see any destinations. Perhaps you could suggest some resources to look at - course I could always ...

Man knows his lures

Good stuff

Question on the terror eyes, you said you were fishing in 8-12 feet of water. How were you working the lure, were you fishing on or off bottom, straight retrieve or digging motion?
