If A Realtor Tells You?

[Feathers and Fins]

Bill next time you go to Stuart let me know, I have friends down there and can probably arrange a trip for you... The Indian River is awesome and all the mosquito impoundments are a fantastic tarpon fishery. That was my home for ten years and know it well. J-doc and I were just talking about it the other night, My goal for retirement is to have a home in Hobe Sound that I can rent out most the year but be there for the Sailfish run in February and the Mullet run in late Summer. Its 15 to 20 minutes from there to PSL Inlet and Jupiter Inlet and snook water the entire way.

If you have never experienced the Mullet run along the beach from Vero to Hobe you have to, Picture 100 pound tarpon 50 pound jacks 20 pound snook and Sharks of all sizes busting the surf inches in front of you toes. There really is nothing like it in the fishing world.

I sold cars for years. Ha. My philosophy was to never lie to people and be up front. I probably lost money being that way but at least I could sleep at night.

[J-Doc]

I applaud you sir.

If anyone ever needs a car fixed,needs to buy a rig or needs accessories give me a call. I have a bunch of connections. I saved my cousin $2000 on a car deal yesterday. They live in Kansas City and bought a car down here.

I put 1/2 dozen baits on all day and took off a total of 4 fish. Oz. said he very seldom lets clients either bait or take anything off the line.

We fished with his tournament gear as he and Bill are pretty tight after all these years.

To tell the truth I wanted to stay in the bay and catch Red Fish and Trout, but Ozzie, Bill and Kent another one of our friends wanted to catch Grouper so offshore we went. Ozzie said the Reds and the trout were petty small this time of the year around Captiva and really that would have suited me fine. Not in for the gut wrenching.

WE were over at Stuart and Jupiter for a couple of days and they were really catching some nice trout on the Atlantic side up a couple of different brackish rivers. Would really have loved to have done some of that, but time restraints.

I liked the Stuart area the best over all. Lots of views. It is pretty hard on the Gulf side to see the water no roads much along the coast with much of a view.

IF you are a golfer however it is the place of your dreams.

I second that, my first child was born in Stuart on the banks of the St. Lucie River just a few miles from the inlet. Miss that place every day that it is cold. Once you get that salt in your blood it is tough to forget about it. Scott, I wouldn't mind retiring in Hobe Sound either, look forward to fishing with you there in the twilight of our lives.

I actually picked Hobe over PSL simply because its the furthest reach of the bonefish not to mention if I went back to PSL I would have a horrible time going offshore, every time I hit the Roosevelt or 10cent I had to stop and play not to mention all the areas between my old house and those places. It was just horrible from August to October walking out back in the morning and seeing tarpon behind the house and knowing all I had to do was pull op the crap trap and flip a blue out to hook up lol.

But still nothing got me going more than the Mullet run. I just watched some Youtubes of it and made me miss the area, one guy even showed it off Vero down to Ft Pierce North Jetty. And sitting here im thinking about the Pompano run.

We took pictures on Hobe Beach, it was beautiful. You guys should have been making those types of buying decisions 4 or 5 years ago. Was talking to one person that sells down there and they say the price of homes and property has came back up to 1995 prices and it is going beyond.

One of our guide buddys looked at a place down there last year that was on the market for $225 grr. Nice 2 bedroom 1,400 sq ft. with a pool right on the water. It is a VRBO. This year it just sold for $375 grr. over a 50% increase in 12 months.

I've taken lots of crappie limits out of TR, and I know others here have too. That's mostly in the spring and summer, and I probably couldn't catch one right now to save my life.

Still, I think Table Rock is one of the better crappie lakes around here. They won't jump in the boat the way a realtor trying to make a sale might tell people, but that sales talk wasn't completely a lie. More like an exaggeration.

Fin, what do you think of Sebastian?. I bought a house there in 2007 and have been considering moving there. I got a heck of a deal on it, right at 2000sq.ft. in a gated community. My Sister built a home there very similar and I got it for about half the price of her's.

Sure hate to leave the Rock!, but getting where I can't do the things I like to do here.

Sebastian inlet state park is a great place. Right next to the first NWR. You are only a few minutes from Stick Marsh also and that place in the Bass World needs no introduction. I liked the area but I wanted to be close to where the gulf stream came in to the coast is why I want Hobe.
