Default SOME PEOPLE !!!

When I'm working, I've been noticing the same car sitting on the South side of Navarre bridge and someone out there fishing. I thought geeezzzz this guy must be catching the mess outta fish to be here almost every night of the week! So I spoke to him early this AM while I was running radar and he had caught a few white trout but nothing special. He is from Peru (married a military gal)and doesn't know a lot about fishing so I talked to him a while. He's only been in the states for about 6 months...Anyhow he had a small mutt lab with him on a leash tied the leash around a rock. When I needed to go, I gave him my cell # so if he had any problems or ??? he could call me. I wasn't gone an hour when he called me crying. He said that someone speeding, of course, ran over his dog and killed it :angel .I'm not sure if he was packing up and the dog got loose or it just got loose while he was fishing??? He said the person didn't even stop!!!:banghead For all those on here that don't realize it or don't respect it (the speed limit), you'll get caught. It is 35 MPH on the whole island... I just met the guy and he is a heck of a nice guy and I felt sooooo bad when he called me....He told me he wouldn't be coming out to fish tonight cause of the event:banghead:angel

If any of ya'll go out there to fish, his name is Alex and seems receptive to any info on fishing. I told him I'd bring him a few things to help him out...He seemed lonely (his wife is in Iraq and he does not work right now), so if anyone wants to fish in that area and see a small new white Toyota out there on the South side of the big bridge, stop by and say hi!

To whoever hit his dog and didn't stop, :looser:looser:looser may you speed by me:nonono:nonono:nonono:letsdrink

Man, that stinks. I see it all the time - people hauling a&# everywhere they go. I wish you guys would nail every one of them. They are a menace to society.

It's especially dangerous in the area you are talking about what with all the congestion around Juana's and the boat ramp.

Default RE: SOME PEOPLE !!!

While we were talking the other day, I started talking about hunting and he asked what I hunted???I told him deer and he talked about how expensive deer is in Italy....So after the whole incident, the following night I loaded a small cooler full of deer meat (figure you can eat just sooo much deer) and took it to him. He was soooooo greatful and was still real depressed about loosing his friend. When I asked him about going back out fishing he sadly said he didn't feel like going since he lost his "only friend"...It about broke my heart listening to him. I told him I would look out for a puppy and all, and he was very appreciative... We'll after I left his house I got a call about a couple "wild" dogs on a woman's porch. I got there and there were 2 dogs, 1 was a mixed French Bulldog that would be perfect!!! So when animal control took over the dogs, I left all my info so maybe he can get the dog if no one claims it....Just in case, if anyone knows of anyone who has any puppies (med. size) they are wanting to get rid of let me know...I might just call him up and see if he'd be willing to go fishing Thursday night out to the old spot to get him back in the spirit!!!:letsparty

Thats really kind of you and I will tell you why deer is so expensive over here. Its because they are the size of dogs no lie. I saw one the other day and they are tiny.
