Fishing with Moe
Question:
He’s great for an old fart! He sure made me feel good at the Mid-Tenn Classic, by being older than me.

I remember reading about your baby, and that trip with Moe – and something about a full moon… And you’re right – Moe’s a great guy. I knew that the first time I met him. We met at a little diner in Okeechobee – can’t remember the name, something like "Corky’s". I had never been out with a guide before, and was a little apprehensive about meeting someone who could easily fish circles around me. I was afraid he was going to be a big-shot, like the other guides I had met. What a contrast. We sat and talked for a while, and it was like being with family. The next day was easily the best day my dad and I had ever had fishing. We caught bass all day, told stories when the bass were taking a break, then caght some more. What a great day. A day that will always be a very special memory for me. JK

Yup, that sounds like a typical day with Moe. You can’t ask for a better day, or a better guide than the day you had with Moe. He’s the best! — Steve OutdoorFrontiers.com http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods. http://www.herefishyfishy.com

I did? I think you misunderstood. I said I was in my 70’s and I have a large Okeechobee ass. :) — The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value. Good Fishing – Moe Moe’s Guide Service (Lake Okeechobee) – http://members.aol.com/moefran/index.html

I’ve been out with Moe a couple of times. We loaded the boat once, and got almost skunked once, but both days were great. Whether the fishing is any good or not, you’re in for a great day on the water. As far as teaching him anything – I think he’s too old and crotchety for that

Jack old buddy, glad to see your still around. How’s your dad doing? You need to drag yourself back over here soon. >I’ve been out with Moe a couple of times.

Dad’s doing ok. Not great, but a LOT better than we expected. He’s back in the hospital again for a blood clot in his leg, but that should just be for a few days. He was just getting strong enough to go fishing again, but we didn’t quite make it. We’re hoping this is a minor setback, and I can get him out fishing soon. You’re right about getting back out there. I can’t even remember the last time I went fishing. Thanks for checking on me, bud. Life is kind of stinking right now. It’s nice to know people care. Jack
Response:
Sounds exciting. Does Moe stick with the 10# mono, or go with the PowerPro for that? Seriously though, a couple of years ago, my first time fishing in FL, I had a small gator chasing a Jitterbug. Being from NJ, I thought it was a beaver, and couldn’t understand why it was doing that . Once it through the water. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >See if he’ll take you gator fishing like my son Jim and I did

Oh, Jack, let me tell you something about Moe Conway. He genuinely does care. I recently saw him for the 1st time in 2 years. Last time I saw him my wifewas expecting our daugher in a few months. We had taken our last-hurrah trip to the keys & I drove up to fish O with Moe. Had a great time of course. But 2 years later what was the 1st thing Moesaid to me? "How’s baby Sierra doing?" I never told him how much that meant to me, but let it be known…it meant ALOT to me. Moe Conway is one of a kind, I truly love the guy.
