Thanks, men - I really appreciate the advice and offers of help -
Roger, thanks for the offer on lessons, I may take you up on it - I'm thinking I may prevail upon either Capt. Corey or Steve Cook at the Edge for guidance locally too - I've heard the hardest thing to do is unlearn bad habits you taught yourself at the outset - so maybe I can bribe them - or thank them - with some old fish pictures...
I know those guys are going to be busy trying to get their own season underway too -
I've read Kenny Abrames and attended one of his seminars, Bill - very valuable info without a doubt
Saltfly - The line recommendation is duly noted - I had heard that before - also had heard a recommendation that you use a line wt. one up from the rod rating to facilitate loading the rod on the cast - I've got several nice wide open parks a short walk away from home here where I figure I can practice right by the water, too -
Figure I've got time to re-read stuff now since I completely reamed and cleaned my tackle room and can actually find stuff again - and what I have left to finish off to get ready for this season of regular surfcasting is already well underway - my whole attitude is going to be patience and keep it fun
An old Chinese philosopher said a man who can laugh at himself will never be without a source of amusement - so I figure I ought to be able to keep myself in stitches for a while...
Thanks again, you guys -
