...hey Charlie G.

...so I got this mesaage from a friend who said he was in front of the 'pink house' when a blitz took place Monday afternoon..

...he said I best get down there before the weather turned sour this week...

...so I dressed like an Eskimo and headed south....

..I hit the beach bout 10 am to find all of 4 other trucks spread out along the 2 miles of beach ....

...so for the next 5 hours I alternated working the fly rod from trough to trough and miandering up the beach ...

...no birds working ....no nervous water ....just a handful of seagulls feeding on star fish (does that tell you something ?!?!?)

...I finally decided to lay claim to the last trough up near the wall at the light house and watched and watched....for something to happen...

...I stuck it out till the sun dropped a bunch and put the trough in a shadow and said with only bout 30 minutes before I can't see what the hell I'm doing...I thought I'd give the trough one more shot....

...all it took was two casts and the fly got whacked about 15 feet from the sand.....

...yup.. I caught the whole school !!!!

...a coupla pictures and about 45 seconds of recovery assistance and off she went.....

...course as I let her go ...I told her to head to Jersey and look up a guy trying to learn how to use the fly rod with the left arm !!!
