Oooohhhh...I'm just recuperatin' now - it was a looong day.

Hey, thanks to all the S-B Cape Cod cousins for showin' the Rhody crew a good time.

Special thanks to Mike and Barbara at M&D's - it's a damned nice shop. Hope you all got a chance to take a look at the Ron Arra Mike twisted up for the raffle - I'm goin' to St Mary's later and light a candle for my tickets.

A real big thanks from me to Mr and Mrs Newell Guy - you guys are the best. They tried hard to put some Rhody boys into fish at the canal - Eben hooked - and lost at the rocks - a bass we figured somewhere in the 20's from what we saw of it. Hey, Eben - ya know, that was a Palm Beach release (or maybe P-town, up the Cape)...

Dave, when you and your mrs. get to Newport I plan on returning the favor - got a coupla places you guys just might like - and maybe your wife can talk to my bride about surfcasting and fishing in general - they got a lot in common like birthdays 2 days apart and coming from families of 8 kids. Anyway, when you guys wanna come down this way, give us a shout. Thanks again - next time I'll be a little more familiar with things - I'm gonna rig up some canal jigs outta old sash weights I got in the basement and duct tape a paint brush to it. Sheeeesh, now I finally know what landing a large in the canal must be like!

Anyway, more later - gotta turn to with patio repairs, perfect day for it.

So my stats were:

No hits, no runs, one error....the error not bringin' bigger damed jigs. Guess I'll never thinks a 2 1/2 oz jig is good-sized again, anyway.

Thanks again - still had fun regardless of the skunk - and it beat the poop outta working on 'This #@#$**# Old House' all weekend.

"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.
