Jeezz, I am really sorry about this personal screw up this year guys. It's my fault, no excuses.
I had some of the photos I wanted to use but I was not satisfied and needed a second flight to complete it. The weather sucked when I could make the flights this year and I got involved in too many other things that distracted me. You really need a "perfect" day to do this. I have tried it on nice days...the photos are OK but not good enough, it has to be a perfectly clear day in Late June, July or Aug. There were lots of overcast, hazy days this year and they all fell at times when I could do it.
Anyway I will make more of an effort next year. I would like to add video of the entire flight to the DVD as well. I am glad to hear that there was interest in it but sorry I could not meet the demand. I enjoy doing it and I got past break even last year so it is a hobby that does not cost me much...just a little time and effort.
Again, sorry for the missed year. Jim

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Thanks for the constructive criticism...most guys want tides/moon phase/sunrise...we have a few of those beaches here but most of the people on them are not ones that you would want to showcase if you know what I mean. (envision Dershowitz in the nude )

I dunno, Dennis - a few years back I ran into an honest to God professional bikini photo shoot at the 'Tail around sunset on my way to sling eels with Bryan...

For me it was a surfcaster's dream, the best of both worlds without a doubt...

If memory serves, we barely escaped a skunking - apparently I'd lost my focus...

But it did make a dirty old man very happy...

"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.
