Picking the right location for a new game food plot is much like choosing a location for a new business. Location is everything in both of these projects. A food plot builder needs to look at possible sites for the food plot in terms of sunlight- good game food production needs adequate light for the planted food crops to grow. The presence of a water source is very important- combine good food and water close to the food plot and we have a winner.

However, there will be very few cheap fishing boats that are also new fishing boats.

It was Jonathan Swift who wrote, “It was a bold man who first ate an oyster.” If that’s true, then I reckon I am a pretty bold man, because I love to eat oysters whether raw, fried, broiled, steamed- whatever.

This will be a lot of hard work, I promise you. Just locating a good oyster reef can be a lot of trouble.

My small bay skiff is anchored just off the opposite side of the island from the crashing surf.
