Next stop, North Carolina... full circle... and I'll be back on the ocean PDQ in search of spanish and king mackerel, and whatever else I can get after without breaking the piggy bank.

I guess I take some solace in the fact that you won't catch these anywhere else... but as an un-recovered bluewater fisherman, it isn't the dream I dream. But I chase them and catch them anyway.<br /><br />You take what you've got, and make the best of it. Isn't that really the widely known secret to happiness?
