I've got no real complaints... a low light, I guess would be that as always... it ends too soon.. on the otherhand, I fished all season while reabilitating a torn MCL...I wore and annoying brace that did nothing to keep my knee from hurting non stop.. some nights I could barely stand.. but i pressed on... likely to my own detriment.. i fished from late July until the end with tendonitis in my left elbow.. every cast felt like an ice pick was being driven into the joint... the last week of the season I was eating advil and antacid tablets like candy... the Ice pack was my best friend...everything is much bettter now.. funny how a little rest cures all ills.. I've even started running again... I've rewired my entire electrical system in my 35 year old boat.. she's asleep now.. both of us anxiously awaiting the first breath of spring!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Skip MARKONISH

He was one of the reasons that made it easy to be a police officer in Whitman. Stopped by the station so many mornings out for a walk with the wife to give me the fishing news. His obit makes it very obvious what was most important to him outside of the home, fishing and lure making.

Oh man! i had now idea. Skip was very nice guy. Always enjoyed his visits in the shop. An expert eel skin jigger in my opinion. He made a great casting jig and Polaris popper.

May he rest in peace.
