Indeed, Raven. It was a picture perfect morning. Just a breath of wind, glassy water, nice sunrise over the dunes, and a decent bite. On the way in she says, "I can totally understand why you get up at 230 AM to drive down here now." I'm not sure she's "understood" the habit before, but has always accepted it as something that makes me very happy. I could have BackBeach to thank for that. Early in our courtship she and Mike were having a conversation about how to make me happy and he told her, "just don't ever, ever try to keep him from fishing." She took his advice, and has never once in 15 years (and I fish as much as anyone with a wife and 2 young daughters) given me grief about a single outing.

Wow! I thought he would have said "hold his head under the blankets and fart".

I was near unconscious Tuesday night, eh? If not for the bucket to sit on, I think I'd have been sleeping on the road. I had a very very long day at a trade association show (imbibing adult beverages, etc...) I shouldn't really have gone fishing two nights in a row, but you know how that goes.

SoCo in the AM. Hope there's a few more like this one swimming around on my reef..

Admit it, you haven't fished together in two years because she kicked your butt last time too...she'll probably be elderly before you inivite her out again.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
