I think we're talking about the same guy, Flap - but I seem to be suffering from early-onset Oldtimers Disease, too.

I dunno, then again, maybe it's not all that early for me...

"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.
