We’ve all heard that Tampa Bay Real Estate is at a premium.  And so it is apparently in the waterworld, too.

Mike Spanhel invited Frank Bellizio, Butch Kaelin and John Grieder for a Hogfish trip on Thursday, July 18.  We departed the dock at midnight (for me) (actually it was 7:30am) and headed out to forty feet of water where we found the Hogfish Haven Hotel.

First hooking up with one was John.  Then (once again) the port side led the charge.  Those wiley Hogfish characters must have sublet many rooms in the hotel to the Grunt family as starboard rousted many from their rooms.

Hogfish in the penthouse area only let portside shrimp in.  A call of discrimination was sent down to them from the starboard side and they finally allowed themselves to be entertained by our starboard side shrimp.

After all was said and done we all caught a bunch of Hogfish along with others of various species that  were all returned to the hotel.

A fun day and a great time by all on the water with plenty of fish caught.  Thanks, Mike!

Question for our tax accountant:  If we’re all Real Estate investors is this trip tax deductable?
