Tom: Glad ya had fun.. In the Movie and Book "Papillion" and in things I've read about surfing, they say every 7th wave is a Big One.. Guess you found that out the hard way huh??? I want to go to Panama City FL ASAP now that I got a car that I think will make it and is big enough to carry us all comfortably (without shoving a kid in the trunk or the luggage rack LOL).. But I have wondered about that.. i too, have me some big ol flies to try, and my 9wt rod and reel, but I'm wondering how in the world those guy cast into that EVER PRESENT 20-30 MPH wind coming in.. so, if somebody knows how this is properly down, helppppp. Try to save me from looking like the proverbial "idiot with a big ol stick in my hand" ... Chuck

I tried doing some surf fishing, but it seemed futile. Never have I felt more like the proverbial idiot waving a stick! If I ever do it again, I will go with someone who KNOWS there are fish in that surf. Without that kind of support I ran out of faith. I also got wet. I was using my waders, wading in surf up to my knees.... in theory anyway. In practice, every now and then a wave would come up to my shoulders. I should have been wearing a swim suit, then I wouldn't have minded. As it was, I had to wring out my shirt, dry out my cell phone, empty my waders... you get the drip. But it truly was a fun visit; it was very nice to see my son and my brother. Fishing isn't the only thing in life, after all.
