Hey guys - that was laughs, had a great time and we did do the old hat trick - all in all it woulda been splendid other than the leaky waders
Ya know, once your hair turns gray, people will make terrible assumptions about you if they see ya with wet shorts....
You think a guy who produces a RI Reg card with visual ID's and sizes would be a little sharper, but I can always use the excuse that any tog under 8# are throwbacks - the tubby little bugger would have made a fine chowder, though.
Ah, let him fill up on some of those mussels and crabs we saw.....
Glad you enjoyed the all-too-brief bird-watching trip afterwards too - there's been a glorious flock of long-legged bed-thrashers hovering around the waterfront since late this afternoon, too bad you had to leave so soon

Beeeeyooootiful plumage!
Give me a shout the next time you want to head this way - I'm gonna do further recon and start another related technique experiment in the same spot - I'll keep ya posted.
Oh yeah and thanks for the Thills - I'll put 'em to good use, hopefully
