Nice job on the article on DZ, Joe I re-read it again early this AM before going out for a dawn patrol.

You're right, Slip - Dennis is well respected in these parts, he's truly what people mean when they use the term 'gentleman'.

I think D. realized a long time ago that your most important piece of fishing gear is between your ears - and he's certainly helped me sharpen my game along the way.

As far as the Yankees shirt goes.....well, ya gotta forgive your friends for their pecadillos, you know.

God knows, Dennis allows me my theory on the ghost school of deep-water bass that represents the third gene pool for our striped bass stock. I know he's gonna catch one of the scouts during one of his trips to the Island one day.... ...oh man, I can already hear him harumphing from here...

He's always been a friend and a supporter - and he's always worked hard on resource and access issues for all of us.

You know, I hope a publisher somewhere has the good sense to put his 'Snowstorm Blitz' into print sometime in the near future.

And if DZ ever does a lecture series on it, ya gotta catch it if you haven't already - it's impressive.

"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.
