Sometimes you'll get a "double header", a mating pair

Anything that bounces bottom can snag a 'shoe---especially when they're uh, preoccupied

Sucks... did that last week, the night after I gave some glass blower chit for taking a header and then breaking a stick,
I took one, but didnt drop my rod... banged my knee pretty solid... but as my old man used to say walking the rocks, one hand for you, one for the rod... I dont let go

did you guys go to that cool, semi remote spot that's got some current?

i don't believe so. i never done the submerged boulder shuffle in the dark before. it was interesting to say the least. fishing with Eben put a lot things in perspective last night...

that's why I fish with eben, you know the old saying "if you wanna look like a pro surf fisherman, hang out with googans"
it also works with "if you wanna look skinny"

Is it good, or is it Sofa King good?

Ahh Bart.. twas a bit rocky, but you've never been there in the day. remember I almost took a digger too... If I had more time to fish we would have found the fish.

sometimes fishing poles make great walking sticks..... reembr that
