they
remain a rare and special treasure for those of us who know how and
where to prospect. *...and, the places they live are among the most
soul-deep enriching spots i know on this earth.

I'm busy catching Redfish in N.C. (using spinning gear and shrimp}
Kayak over to ocean inlet-park kayak and stand in surf up to belt.
Big school of redfish has been feeding there for ten days. Only
problem is the sharks have found them -7 ft blacktip within four feet
of my leg-----daughter of my fishing buddy {11 years old } caught a
33 inch red fish last evening ---she was kneeling in surf by time she
got it in after 30 minute fight !

Looking forward to Graham co in fall --might even try climbing down
to Slickrock Creek now that doctors have put some plumbing in my chest
and given me some nitro pills.! Have never caught the BIG browns
Middleton found there !

Penn's was good trip but man can those yankees snore !
