Patrick - RE #7 - Yeh, that's what I was talking about - I thought you thought I was wrong
....
To those who don't know him, BasicPatrick is a loud, smelly, sometimes delirious fishnut that is about as "Feel No Pain" fishing as they come. I haven't fished with him much but one week on the Vineyard (he was there 3 or 4 weeks I think) for the derby showed me that he fishes for 20 hours a day and sleeps, farts, & snores the other 4 hours. Meals are consumed as flats of butterfish on the boat as he chases his true Mistress, the Atlantic Bonito
Seriously, I've known Patrick for about 5 years now and he does spend a lot of time chasing this stuff down and being in contact with fisheries management people and going to meetings. He was one of a few Mass people at the Rhody license meetings standing up and making (for the most part
) good point.
So while I don't always agree with him, I do respect his opinions as they are often based in merit and some research, and otherwise - he's a pretty good egg as well as someone good to fish with and discuss these matters...
Enough of my serinade of The Good Patrick ...
Oh - and so there is no confusion - this guy is not the Other Patrick...
