They ARE melt in your mouth yummy!!! Problem is, you'd have to go a few times a week for a few weeks to get a really serious quantity...Yeah Scott, we did the Cypress Gardens deal, then, later, when I was a young adult living in Orlando, we dragged my buddy's Nautique up to SR 40 in the forest, put in the Silver River, and went into the park by boat...fell in right behind the glass bottom boats! Water was awesome in that river, clear as a bell, and the monkeys lining the shoreline...Just never did the Weeki Wachee deal...

Silver Springs is about an hour from my house so we used to go over there several times during the summer and enjoy that beautiful river. One day we were over there with our Jack Russell on board. I got the bright idea to chum up some Monkeys with some potato chips. Had the flats boat backed up in the canopy and was going to introduce the JR to some monkey's when all hell broke loose. I started to get a good chum line going with some baby's up in the trees when every friggen alpha monkey Mf'er come down those tree limbs and my mighty Jack Russell decided he was just as a alpha. So the 16 pound Jack decides to bail out off the stern and go get him some monkey a$$, my girlfriend is screaming bloody murder, I got 10 monkeys wanting to board the boat to get the potato chips, have their way with my FORMER girlfriend and turn the Jack into hamburger. So I jump out and catch the jack right before he makes it land. Those monkey's hissin, shitin and pissin all over the place. Thank god the boat started to drift out in the current away from the canopy and me and the jack submarine back to the boat and got our butts out of there. It was quiet for the rest of the day. I consumed the remainder of my scotch supplies, wiped the various excrement, leaves and tree limbs out of the boat and made our way back to the ramp. I think it was about 3 days of silent treatment before we were able to laugh about it and say "How stupid was that!" Just another day on Silver river...
That is DAMN funny right there, Farley! We left them alone, had no urge to have uncouth monkey heathens on board the Nautique!Ever go up the river on the other side of the SR 40 bridge?

Silver River comes out about half way between the two. This is actually the eastern leg of the Cross Florida Barge Canal. You even get to go through a little lock at Moss Bluff about 15' change.
