Mr Sandman, you're TRUE.
Its title is "limit of the game".
This part of France (Brittany) has seen more shipwrecks than any other, I think... And this place of Brittany ("Raz de Sein") more than the others !!!

Last winter, I thought I reached my own limits (my 50 hp inflatable said "encore", but not me !!!), but I was far below that kind of sea (or was I ???).

I read all of your posts, and consider them seriously, though I'd like to explain further my point of view :
- nice idea to get a guide or a charter, but when I browse the net sites, I notice that the fees are (for me) HIGH !
- I'd rather put 200 bucks in some stuff I can use locally and bring home to use again and again, than have a one-shot experiment, even if it's supposed to be unforgettable (I'm not wise, but my experience tells me that you're NEVER sure you'll have a good fishing session...). And for good discounted stuff, I would even put more money (ooops, my wife is listening !)
- And, as someone said, if I owned a tackle shop, I wouldn't mind giving hints to a customer, who wouldn't stay in the area for a long time ! I would even consider it fair ;-)

I now have the address where I'll be staying most of my holiday :
95 Wilkey Avenue
02871
Portsmouth,RI

I still don't know if I'll be able to freely use the car of the house, but I'll probably rent one for a week or 2.

And, as far as fishing is concerned, I'll make myself as free as possible if somebody wants to take me fishing !!!
Thanks again,
Olivier
