Did you get a boat that can handle continued long distance research?

depends on the research grant funding... if you've got the green, we'll
travel to the bluewater for all the researching any true fishingperson
could want...



Setting up some fundraiser activities where I plan on working various
contributors. May be able to get something done by Summer. Maybe right
around the time those Marlin and Sailfish are poking around that deep blue
river water.

that, well, it's a buyer's market)


Damn, most people just find some guide with a bit of experience, and a big
boat, to rustle up one of those Blue monsters...

BTW - we have Sturgeon in the Rivers around Philly, I hear they are a real
challange to land. Problem is you may need a brand new boat, and a bunch of
specialized gear to catch them. We can work out the details on how to
unload it all after you catch one...

if you like being a "john", i guess it makes more sense to rent a boat.
i've always preferred to do my own rowing though, and, if it works
out, i'll probably pay less than the cost of charters (currently $1350 a
trip),,,we'll see. we'll talk later... right now, we're headed out the
door for graham county... got important bidness to attend...another
great mystery to be investigated...
