Quite abit more than my tired old lungs could handle, I'm afraid. Fun to
watch though!

I was counting on you to run up and down the beach with the cooler of cold
drinks. g

That would be a breeze, if I were allowed to bring my ATV on the beach.
Otherwise, we'd be walkin' back and forth to the cooler of cold drinks :~^ (

Where do they stalk that wily Rooster fishy?

Down in the Baja somewhere.

If you take me down there some day, in your porta-tent-mobile, I promise to
watch over the cooler while you run up and down the beach chasin' Roosters.

Honest!

Cool films, CC. I especially liked "Chasing Silver". Near the end it shows (a)
how easy it actually can be to hook a tarpon on the fly (a mere backhand flip
to reach the cruising fish from the boat, in this case), and (b) what being
spooled by a good tarpon looks like ;-)

I easily duplicated both a and b while on Tortola, with an 8 weight rod.
Four times, before I ran out of tarpon flies...

Southern most part of Baja, La Paz down around the cape and up the pacific
side a bit. They do use ATV's, where allowed, to chase them up and down the
beach. That would be more my speed.

Not likely that I will ever make it down that away, as I am monetarily
challenged, among other thing, and live in NC.

Welcome to the asylum, Lou!

Cool. Way cool. That's a neat looking fish.

But I wonder, are the wind sprints really necessary ?
