[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DonO Subject: Re: [VFB] Saturday's fishing Thanks, MArk.
For flyfishermen, wind is almost the ultimate enemy. DOnO> [Jerry Goldsmith] Despite the subject line of this email, you are always welcome to Florida and Chez Goldsmith. However, here are the fishing results from my last few visitors. Alan Fish - we wisely cancelled the first day. The second day after many hours of pleasant conversation as we listed to the rain and wind. we ventured outside to watch the clouds whizzing by overhead with 25 mph winds. Never Wet A Line Joe Cornwall- see above. Except on the second day, with no rain, we chanced the wind in my yaks and put in at a local lake. Joe caught one Crappie, period. Joe Cornwall 2- figured it was time to catch some fish and hired a good friend who guides to put us on fish. We did see a lot of fish. How ever we spent 6+ hours in 15-20 mph winds. Poling for position was very difficult and casting was even harder. At the end of the day, I caught one red on a spinning rod blind casting and Joe caught a dogfish blind casting a clouser. Has Weillenman- Hans was here for 3-4days on business. After waiting for the weather to get better, we finally had to fish on his last day here. The best we could do was fish the banks of the lake behind my house- ZERO Fish. And now GBH travels thousand's of mile to our world class fishery, where just last week in the Everglades, I averaged 70 fish a day and we get totally blown out. Seems the story for my visitors is "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE LAST WEEK". So you are all still welcomed, but your best strategy would be to visit me the week before you actually arrive . :-) jg
