Fished the Drive last night and had a 30 MPH tailwind at dusk - without even laying into it I nearly spooled myself on every cast with a Habs canal-style pencil popper.

If I'd gotten a fish at the end of that cast I would've been porked

Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to find out

Yeah, this is the stuff that separates the men from the boys - I was the only living soul on the rocks, the only other thing around on the rocks was a lotta sea-gull poo - from what I heard, it was pretty active earlier, as evidenced by the guano..

I'm thinking the seals we've been seeing around here lately - kinda early for 'em - have more than a little to do with it too.

Seals, goddam 'em - the other white meat

"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.
