A very Merry Fishmas to you, the lovely Mrs R and Liam, John
And the whole S-B gang from me and Mrs Crafty...
"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.
