ANY LUCK: THE SEQUEL

Greetings S-Bers,

As members of Striped-Bass.com, let us all vow, here and now, to greet all anglers -- whether they're dunking bait, surfcasting, boating, with or without a pile of keepers next to them -- with the ubiquitous: "Any luck?"

It'll be like our secret handshake.

See a guy fighting a fish? Ask him: "Any luck?"
See a guy lipping a moby? Ask him: "Amy luck?"
See a guy empty handed, snapping his Lamiglas over his knee? Definitely ask him: "Any luck?"

I take the oath! So, I ask you, any luck?

Don't want to be asked that? Too bad. Get ready to be asked the same thing a few hundred times by a bunch of loopy fishermen.

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -- H.S.T.

if it's like a secret handshake, there needs to be a proper response. any ideas?

Fished for an hour yesterday. Had to be at least 1/2 dozen people on foot ask "Any Luck". Two guys in trucks asked the same thing and one stopped with jaw down to the floor when I was pulling one over the rails! I just said "Yea, just a little!"

I meant when he was asking me "Any Luck" I actually had a fish on and was in the process of pulling the fish over the bridge rail. I think he was a little surprised to see a guy in shorts and rain coat with the wind howling hauling schoolies over the rail so early in the season. "Any Luck?" Yea, a little lucky, I said!

"Amy Luck?"

"Shorely? But you doesn't have to call me AMY! Ohhhh; you can call me A, MY, or AYY MEEEEE, or you can call me Ammmmy ~but most folks just calls me Luck!!!"

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

I'm just lucky to be fishing, I don't feel compelled to tell a blow by blow description.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
