Ok,

I give it and I take it so here goes.

I had the privelidge of spending a good part of this past Sunday fishing with our own "Got Stripers".

He took me to his notorious winter fishing spot and then commenced to give me a lesson on finess techniques.

I could easily let you know that one hour after we got on the water a pretty good sized cold front came through with dark clouds, yoy yo baraometer and snow. I could even mention that only GS & one other guy of the 7 on boats and 8-10 on shore hooked uo this day. I could claim that the load of fish GS oput us on had lockjaw.

However, I always respect a fisherman that can hook up when most can not. GS worked his technique for 8 solid fish and I tried to copy him, with no success. Yes, I threw the skunk and am sure of missing at least two very subtle hits.

Bob I had a great time and can not wait to get out with you again. Thank you very much for the invite, twice. Hopefully afgter my forthcoming operation I will be better company on the ride to and from the spot also.
