Fishing tourist degrees:
1st: Renting house to fish area
2nd: Motel / BB to go fishing
3rd: Using excuse of visiting family for a place to crash, to go fishing
Since I am a 3rd rate fishing tourist I will appreciate being treated like a 2nd rater :-D
Just kidding Damon
I appreciate your advice, I plan go to the shops suggested, and of course I know I'm on another's turf. I'm optomistic that all will help!

And if not, my wallet stays put! :-D
Thanks again.
