Apparently I've been out in the sun too long today

Half-way thru the article I said to myself - hey, feeding bluefish, no wonder the dim-wits got bit...

Had it happen to me many moons ago in FLA swimming near Palm Beach...saw gulls hovering along the shore, getting closer and closer, then baitfish zipping by all around me in the water and then the big dark shapes like torpedoes...

Never swam so fast before or since to get out of the water...I looked like Johnny Weismuller with a wake behind me...

Ummm...a lot of you guys probably don't even know who that is...

Okay, I looked just like Mark Spitz...nope, might be a little before your time, too....

Hey, who was that Olympic kid who got caught doing bong hits last year?

Yeah, that's who I looked like...

"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.
