R.I.P Frank Helton
Calvin posted on facebook that the old salt Frank Helton passed away. I know most of the people on this forum are not familiar with Mr. Helton, but the few times I got to fish with him were a pleasure. Seeing him on his power chair with a horn, umbrella, and his ling rod was quite commical but that man knew how to cobia fish. Good luck to you sir on that great pier in the sky.

Yep, Frank was the man when it came to Cobia. I watched is video when he said cobes would come in herds back in his day. He will be missed and not forgotten.

Re: R.I.P Frank Helton
[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]I only met him once at Navarre, on his scooter with the beach umbrella. A great guy who will be missed. R.I.P.
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
