After several years of constant battles with thieves pulling their lobster traps, two Florida Keys fishermen decide to buy large offshore boats and go into the Caribbean with their traps. Often trapping several hundred miles from land, they were at the mercy of weather, but that was mild compared to the Pirates they encounter. Ray and Roland soon learn that these modern day pirates who steal their traps and lobster, would rather die than work--they did.Changing fisheries laws in the Caribbean force them back to America. While Ray begins bringing their traps back, Roland and Becky take their airplane and begin searching for a place to relocate. Musselshell City was nestled in the Everglades, on the coast of Florida Bay. From the air it looked like the answer to their dreams. Lobster traps and stone crab traps lined the canal where commercial boats sat moored side-by-side. The dream soon ended when they learned that?" Ray, Roland, and their crew find themselves in a setting reminiscent of the wild days of the western frontier of America. Horses were replaced by 150 mph pickup trucks and 75 mph airboats. 15 shot automatics in shoulder holsters replaced the old six-shooter on a hip. Men, who a decade earlier were setting fishnets from small skiffs, now piloted half-million-dollar boats and airplanes. The sheriff and his deputies didn't have fast trucks or airplanes. The posse didn't gallop across plains and over mountains. They quietly moved in and out of the gatherings of men who they planned to send to prison--they did. Roland warned everyone. "The adventure's over boys, better get outa town while you can." He and Becky climb into their airplane and headed toward their fishing resort in South America. They began creating The Honey Hole a few months earlier when Becky noticed that several sport fishermen had small walkie-talkies in their suit pocket and a gun in a shoulder holster. Within days after they flew south, the population of Musselshell City took a nosedive. Some were killed--many went to prison.
