Goosefish (hey, GF, you any relation to Joe Monk?

- going out to a favorite spot a coupla nites ago there was a pretty active bite going on - as I was switching spots with the tide I walked across the beach and saw several good sized scup washed up.

Mostly smaller bass though - and a bunch of blues, one was 15# but long and lean.

Those scup probably just died of fright - that nasty bugger was giving me the evil eye the whole time I was prying my hook outta his lip and trying to save the eel at the same time.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
