The Gribble family began fishing Marion Lake and staying at Cozy Cove Resort in the mid-fifties. Gramps, J.S. Gribble, Grandma Mae and Steve began the love affair with Cozy Cove about 1955. They befriended a gentleman named John Romano, who still fishes there (three weeks this summer). Steve's parents, Gayle and Eileen, have fished Marion Lake several years, as have his sisters Jan and Tiffany.

It was a shock to the family when Steve bought the Resort. He practices law in Port Charlotte, Florida. However, he has always fished. He has owned a charter fishing business in the Florida Keys, tournament fished for five years, including BASS, and has won the State of Florida Buddy Bass Championship. He has caught Blue Marlin, Shark, Bluegills and Bullheads - and most everything in between. Yes, he has fish stories.

The lady that calls the shots is Lynn Gribble. Her last name became Gribble September 10, 2005 at Cozy Cove's first beautiful lake-side wedding. Lynn has bartended in Key West for fifteen years and New Orleans for five years. Yes, she has stories too.

Michel Le Gribble is Steve's daughter and currently attends University of Nebraska Law School. She caught her first fish at 1 year 364 days, won her first bass tournament (for ages up to 16) at age 5, and won the Alabama State Casting Kids Championship at age 10. She worked with the Olympic Committee in Lake Placid, New York in the spring and graduated in the summer of 2007 from Florida Gulf Coast University Summa Cum Laude. She shot the buffalo that is mounted on the wall in the Lodge.

Kyle Gribble is Steve's son and currently attends college, works at Gasparilla Boat Yard and crews on racing sailboats. He caught his first fish at 1 year 364 days, was an all-star shortstop and pitcher at several levels of Little League, won his first bass tournament (for ages up to 5) at age 3, while finishing second in the casting event for ages up to 16. Living in Florida, he is an excellent surfer.
