TR yeah, believe it or not
 

I had some issues to deal with and have not much more than read this group
for a year or two. God knows I haven't been fishing for at least that long.
I don't really feel like elaborating so I will just make it short and
sweet....

Been talking....been watching....been looking at the water here in the
Philippines....and I have realized river fishing is not going to be so much
fun. It can be done, it can be productive, but I am living where people do
sustenance fishing with dynamite....

Been reading the tide tables....studying the charts...spending hours on the
dock of the bay Percy Sledge sang about and studying the water....

I was ready...

Packed the bike (anyone want to see pictures of a full dressed Honda 150
cc?)

Loaded up the food, hammock, five tabs of Viagra and a pretty young Filipina
and went for it!

I was surprised....I had remembered to grease my reels and dress my line
before I put them in storage. I remembered my knots, was able to make good
choices regarding fly selection and waded on out into the incoming tide and
started casting. A little rusty for sure on those long hauls but I was out
into the bay fishing like a mad man.

.....and then I felt it. Oh we all have...you know when things are
right...you are in the groove...it is something you can feel in your loins.
A warm feeling that grows hotter and hotter and then you have THE
epiphany...you left your cell phone in the pants pocket of your cargo
shorts.....
