GOOD LUCK to all fishing in the Hab's tourney. I wish I had not made a commitment prior to this event. Enjoy some laughs and good times and think of John when you let one rip.

I'm sorry, Norm - I was trying to get down at 5:00
sharp and didn't make it until 6:45 - I was bumming, a lot of folks bugged out early to get to their spots, I missed a lot of people I really wanted to see.

Had a bunch of loose ends to tie up for the weekend and had to get BOTH 704's fixed - one was DOA

Fortunately, the chromed one that was given to me as a gift by Senor Habs was able to be put back in working order - Kevin at Edward's squared me, I usually do my own but there were a coupla issues that had me stumped. It was the reel I wanted to be using anyway for the mojo factor - unfortunately it didn't help me much

I took Pt Jude Joe, JohnR and Kevin from Edward's to a UDL they hadn't been to before, it was a bit of a walk in full regalia

The payoff was the last 25 yards - it's a little...uh... craggy and ya gotta ford a tidal pool, I stepped in one of the pot holes and almost had my hat float - ran into some gorilla sized razor-lipped bastages and then everyone just finally got tired of feeding eels to bluefish. Man, they was some big buggas

At least there were no casualties and no man overboard drills - the swell was pretty small.

Anyway, see ya Sunday - it's gonna be a corker and I'll get to see all the people I missed last nite. There's gonna be some pretty nifty surprises - be there or be square

Oh yeah, BTW - this spot I took 'em to - also happens to be an excellent 'tog spot once the water cools a little more - so get yourself ready for some of Uncle Crafty's Drunken Blackfish Chowder

See ya soon

Hey Chuck
I made the 2 hour drive from "God's Country". Burrillville can't be any further away from Newport and still be in RI. I really was looking forward to meeting you but I had a great time with Kevin, DZ (remenising about The Block in 05), Peter G and of course Clammer. Met a bunch of guys I talk with on this Board but never have seen face to face.

Can't make Sunday as we have my brother from New Mexico for dinner.

No blues for just three small bass.Gonna head out and see if maybe I can't scare up something this afternoon before tonight's race.Then do it again in the very early am Sun.

Btw,what time Sunday at the Brew-ha-ha?Jane and I could go for a few Goldens.
