Hey John - look forward to seeing you and your mom shortly. I hope all is well.
I'm sure to wave and say hello to your dad frequently when I'm out fishing. I like to believe he's up their listening and usually laughing at me when I'm using an eel.
Hope both you and Mom are doing well, I'm looking forward to seeing you both real soon
"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.
