possible. thinking about it.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

Very tough decision to make...

My favorite tidal creeks are still mostly stained with freshwater as of today. Will they be flushed out & salty by the weekend? Does not look good. I need incentive to fish...

UPDATE: Wife just told me she's gone Friday & Saturday to visit family in South FL. So I'm going fishing anyhow. Might as well sign up!

It's funny, my wife has only kayak fished once (this past weekend) and that was fresh water with a bream buster. I told her I was gonna go the BBSC this weekend and she could come along (just to fish, not as a competitor) since she loves fishing. She said yes, but wants to compete even though she has primarily been a freshwater fisher and most of that was with a pole. Gotta love a woman that will fish all day, bait her own hook, and clean her own fish. Now I have an excuse to buy more gear. :-D .

I'm almost envious, since I always wanted my wife to also be my fishing partner, but she has zero interest in angling. HOWEVER, most weekends, Vicky orders me to go fishing, while she works in the yard the whole time, pulling weeds, edging, clearing brush, and pruning hedges. So I'm not really envious...I'm really lucky.

What weather report are you looking at...........
Seas will be 1-2's and the wind minimal, looks like an average summertime rain amounts.
