Florida Surf Fishing Board
I'm trying to get Frosty by email to find out what happened. His last post was encouraging in that it indicated that he was going to spend more time on the Board.
If possible, we may be able to do something about the board. There's too many FOG(Friend of Gowge) people hanging around to let it go down the tubes. Stay tuned. C2

Frosty was giving space on his board for the Fla SurfCasters club.The club wasn't sure if Frosty was going to keep his site up as it would go off line for days at a time. So,the club had thier own site built.
I've been a member of Frosty's board for a very long time and it was really George Popes(Gowge) board as Frosty rarely posted until he was a club member. The part about:upset about some friends "doing"him Frosty burnt all of his bridges the last year the club was there. There might be two or three of the old posters left but most have gone to the club site.

This is one of the reasons the 'other' Florida Surf Fishing Board was started.
There are more than 'one or two' of the FOGs(Friend of Gowge) around. They lurk and, once in awhile; post. I try to keep up with them as much as possible. Like I said before, I am attempting to locate Frosty to find out his intentions. He said that he was going to 'work on the board' in his last post. I will let you know what's happening when I find out. Gowge and I talked to one another on an almost daily basis up until the day he passed away. I have a lot of info that Gowge and I exchanged over the years. All isn't lost by any means. C2

Positive thinking wants to believe that the board is down so that Frosty can do something to update it. Time will tell.
Still no word from Frosty. I don't like the way that it happened. I was in the middle of a post to a thread about Pompano Rigs and then it suddenly went bad. I will learn to download(on DVD) stuff that I want to keep. I do wish that I had the address list of members. 2000+ even before the board came back on the air. Will let you know when I find out. I have a ton of email inquiries from curious minds. C2 FOG-Friend of Gowge

Still nada from Frosty.
If we knew what happened and what's wrong, maybe we can help solve the problem, whatever it is. Does anyone know Frosty; who can communicate our concerns? C2 FOG-Friend of Gowge

The board was running very well on 'autopilot' with people 'self monitoring' things.
In fact; his last post indicated that he was getting some extra time and was going to do some work on the board. I have countless friends that my only contact is through the board. Maybe I'll learn. some day? Anyhow, which ever way that it goes; I, too wish Mike well in whatever he does. C2 FOG-Friend of Gowge The list is endless

Charlie2,
many thanks for following up on the status of the board. Whether or not it re-appears i wish frosty well. I never met him face to face but i understand that priorities change and sometimes we have to make sacrifices. Tight lines

Today; I received an email from Mike apologizing for the belated answer but he has valid reasons for not wanting to run a board.
He said that he almost pulled the plug for good., but emails from all over changed his mind. I also appreciate all of the email that I received from all over inquiring about the board status. I also appreciate the concerns about the future of the board. He also has a new moderator; ADIDAF(All Day I Dream About Fishing); a long-time member of the board. He should have the board set up by this afternoon. Let's all give out support to ADIDAF. I will always also support P&S, an very excellent board also. C2 FOG(Friend of Gowge)

In October, I had the pleasure of meeting an old FOG. toejam participated in the national casting championships in North Carolina on Oct 3 & 4. He brought with him Team Alabama. It is good knowing that toejam (WT) hasn't lost any of his Alabama charm, wit and humor.
toejam has started his own site. It starts with a tribute to George. "Fishing is our Handshake, our Language. A Heritage that binds us together. A Passage our fathers took. A Journey that lasts a lifetime, That we have begun again with our sons and daughters." Gowge Pope His new site may be a place for the old timers to hang out. OBTW, toejam is quite a dresser! Best wishes to all, Don
