Haulover Inlet to Government Cut

I nearly started drooling on my keyboard when I read the description for the ocean off Haulover Inlet to Government Cut. Apparently, it’s one of Miami’s best kept fishing secrets. Not just fish, but live shrimp can be caught drifting just 100 yards from the beach.

Along the coast hundreds of tarpon ranging 20 to 180 pounds are caught every winter. I’ll be missing out on the tarpon, but there should be plenty of action with jacks, bluefish, and Spanish mackerel. I just hope my son appreciates this trip as much as I do. Maybe I’ll talk to him about it while we’re dipping into our stock of Mercury oil 55 gallon drum.

Lawn Maintenance

One of the chores I was responsible for growing up was taking care of the lawn. Each week I was responsible for mowing the front and back yards. Sometimes I’d take care of the neighbor’s lawns too if the neighbor was unwell or out of town.

By the sidewalk, along the garden beds, and down by the street curb, I had to use a weed whacker. It is from maintaining the weed whacker that I learned about two stroke engines and two cycle oil. That knowledge came in handy when I moved up to working on two stroke outboard motor boat engines.
