This is something that I felt I must share with everyone. Check out the fish my son and his friend caught a few nights ago. After they brought this in, my son and his friend carried this enormous fish in their bare hands about a 1/4 of mile back to our house (being very careful not to drop it back into the water of course). When arriving back home, the both of them ran as fast as they could up to the house (about 800 feet to the house from the creek). They were so out of breath they almost couldn't tell us about their big catch. Dad and his sisters all ran back to the creek to see what they caught, not believing the story they were telling us.
This is a whopping 43" Snook! I can't believe my son and his friend brought this gigantic fish in. They were so proud of themselves. They caught this fish on a 17lb test. Right after this picture was taken they released the Snook back into the creek which runs into the Englewood Isles Canals in Englewood Florida and he swam away only to be caught again another day. This will be a night that they will always remember and I am sure that this experience will make them Anglers for the rest of their lives.

Nokomis, Florida is small town located just 15 miles south of Sarasota and just north of Venice on Dona Bay. Nokomis Florida is also home to Sarasota County's oldest beach, Nokomis Beach, located on Casey Key, which offers free parking, picnic area, boat ramps, volleyball courts, restrooms and 20 acres of beautiful sand dunes and sparkling Gulf waters. Nokomis is a boaters' paradise, with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, which is teaming with sports fishing opportunities.
The tropical eight mile long barrier island, Casey Key, offers prestigious island living and is rich with that old Florida charm. Many celebrities and famous people call Nokomis home, most notably Stepen King. Just minutes to downtown Sarasota, Casey Key is private and remote yet in the heart of Sarasota's many cultural activities. Nokomis Florida is not just for the rich and famous, it is perfect for families and winter residents too.
Conveniently located close to I-75, it is easy to travel to larger city of Tampa, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Devil Rays and Tampa Bay Lightning. With the many canals that wind through Nokomis and lead out to Dona Bay, Lyons Bay or Shakett Creek, Nokomis is sure to have something for you.

Many of Venice Florida seasonal visitors (otherwise known as "Snow Birds") have left Florida and returned home. I do not see activity in Pelican Pointe slowing down much as a result of Venice Florida's season ending. Last year at this time (May 2008 and June 2008) there were a total 15 homes sold. Hopefully last year's activity will be an indication of this years activity for the Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club.

Thank you so much for finding our "perfect home" for us. We anticipated so many problems that other homeowners warned us about, but you made the entire time unbelievable, easy and quick. You have so many outstanding resources and have an excellent knowledge of the current market. We are now happily settling in and are so glad we found you. You were patient with our many special requirements and kept the communication going strong the whole way. We will be sure to recommend you to any future home buyers we know. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Frank and Margaret, Venice FL home buyers 2006
I wanted to thank you for all your hard work towards selling our home. We all now it was a difficult sell. You went above and beyond our expectations, and we feel that if it wasn't for you we would still own a house in Osprey. Thank God that is not the case. You helped us buy our new home and helped us sell our old one and we trusted you 100%. Keep up the hard work and best of luck in the future.
Lotti and Gunther, Osprey FL home sellers 2006, Port Charlotte home buyer 2006
