Three teenage girls... that is pretty scary, but as long as I have my garage and my boat to escape to/hide in, I should survive. I've got a ways to go till then, but thanks for reminding me Hooked... I appreciate that
John, I think the chances of hitting Nantucket this year are pretty close to slim and/or none. One of the other pieces of good news over the past month was no raises at the university this year. Found that out while things were still kinda at their lows... talk about piling on. So, between that and the twinners, I think Nantucket is definitely out... it hurts a little bit since I just started to figure out the bass a bit over there, but that's definitely a "luxury item." I've been fortunate to be able to do that and Florida the past few years... time to get back to reality.
Luckily, I can always get some time in Eastham. I should be taking advantage of that anyway. That's within shooting distance to the Monomoy and Brewster flats and some good beach fishing even though that's not exactly my specialty. Unless there are big schools of blues crashing bait with birds everywhere... then I'm pretty good at finding fish. Anyway, I'm glad to have that opportunity.
ps... I'm actually a little more bummed about no trip south this winter. Besides giving me something to look forward to and get me through the winter, I lost last year. Those redfish abused me and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I got some jacks and had fun, but I'm still psychologically damaged from that trip.
