[JPowers]

Yo, SlipK and CSK aka KLE - I'm still kicking. Had a bad bout with Broncitis/mild pnumonia but I'm back in the saddle.

the fishing: well.... it picked up considerably this weekend but no LARGE. I don't quit till mid Nov anyway - so Nostrapowers predicts there's a pod of 30+ #ers to be had. Current changes don't seem to make a difference anymore or time of day/night. Just gotta be there.

Acres of breaking fish out in front of the herring run Sun am at sunup - all traveling EAST ! Yep, East - so the joint's still jumping. Fish came by in huge schools for well over an hour. We wacked them on jigs while the plug throwers got ziltch. Some guys never learn.

SlipK : heard about your seal trolling adventure. Man you is close - very close - to that forty +.

CSK : Marriage is a fine institution. I've got the best wife a fisherman could ask for. Never complains about the ridiculous amount of time I put in. It only cost me a trip to London last year. She renewed my passport recently so who knows what she's got in mind after November.
