Mr. Sandman,
Thank you for your kind words regarding my videos. I have always strived to combine entertaining images with useful, solid, how to information. Another goal has been to produce a body of work that the whole family would enjoy -- hearing how your young son was fascinated with the video is one of the greatest compliments I could hope for. The other compliment that I love to hear is, “Mike, I’ve watched your video 100 times. I’m not kidding, I’ve watched that tape 100 times!” This quote came from an excited fan and his wife, “The Pogie Princess.”
I'm working on several new videos for release over the next few months. I'm able to deliver these as DVD's but won't do so until late 2002.
I spent 4 days on Cuttyhunk with Lefty Kreh this past June. I directed an Emmy award winning camera/sound crew and matched Lefty up with two accomplished local guides...the end result will be two fantastic videos that look at: reading the water, fly/lure selection, how to animate your offering, where to find fish, when to fish specific structure, how to connect with larger fish, and a whole lot of underwater video of schooling bass and solitary cows. These videos will use stripers as “generic” fish that represent “all fish” and therefore will focus on tips and techniques that will work most species of marine game fish. Add to the mix Lefty's outstanding personality and I'm sure these tapes will go on to become classics. My goal with these two productions is simple –produce the best fishing video ever made -- time will tell.
I read a number of your posts with envy. Although I spent over a week on Cuttyhunk this fall, I was on-island a week after your most successful visit. Although the full moon made for fabulous midnight photos by the legendary Cuttyhunk Club...the bass had lockjaw. Here's a look at the full moon in October and the very special waters that ebb and flow in front of this historic club.
