I'm sorry, Norm - I was trying to get down at 5:00
sharp and didn't make it until 6:45 - I was bumming, a lot of folks bugged out early to get to their spots, I missed a lot of people I really wanted to see.

Had a bunch of loose ends to tie up for the weekend and had to get BOTH 704's fixed - one was DOA

Fortunately, the chromed one that was given to me as a gift by Senor Habs was able to be put back in working order - Kevin at Edward's squared me, I usually do my own but there were a coupla issues that had me stumped. It was the reel I wanted to be using anyway for the mojo factor - unfortunately it didn't help me much

I took Pt Jude Joe, JohnR and Kevin from Edward's to a UDL they hadn't been to before, it was a bit of a walk in full regalia

The payoff was the last 25 yards - it's a little...uh... craggy and ya gotta ford a tidal pool, I stepped in one of the pot holes and almost had my hat float - ran into some gorilla sized razor-lipped bastages and then everyone just finally got tired of feeding eels to bluefish. Man, they was some big buggas

At least there were no casualties and no man overboard drills - the swell was pretty small.

Anyway, see ya Sunday - it's gonna be a corker and I'll get to see all the people I missed last nite. There's gonna be some pretty nifty surprises - be there or be square

Oh yeah, BTW - this spot I took 'em to - also happens to be an excellent 'tog spot once the water cools a little more - so get yourself ready for some of Uncle Crafty's Drunken Blackfish Chowder

See ya soon
