Happy Birthday America. You are going through a really rough patch right now, but you are still the greatest country in the world! Until January 6th 2021, I pretty much took our democracy for granted. I thought all of that had been settled many years ago. God Bless America. I am so glad that Florida in the United States is where I landed! My heart breaks for the people of Ukraine.

See page 2 for this month’s recipe Spinach Salad with Shrimp and Warm Bacon Dressing, an encore presentation from July 2022. It is fast and easy, won’t heat up your kitchen, and too good not to share again! This recipe received a double “You can make this again.” from Cary, my inhouse critic.

If you have fishing questions, the greatest fishing experts in the world write for our magazine. Call, text or email them and thank them for taking their time to write for us and generously sharing their knowledge and expertise. Also, please thank our advertisers. Their support pays our print bill.

I just want to remind you that there is NO place for alcohol on the water. My opinion might be unpopular, but alcohol contributes to deadly boating accidents, just as it does to deadly car accidents. There are children on those scalloping boats. The 4th of July holiday will bring many boats to my beloved Suwannee and to every waterway in Florida and America. Every year, we hear about a deadly boating accident that involved alcohol. It doesn’t have to happen again this year. Safely enjoy summer on our magnificent Florida waterways. Have fun, but stay smart and stay alive!

Thank you, John Freeze for the beautiful scenic photos on this page.

Happy Birthday America
