Very impressive drawing Leland, I hope you didn't go to all that trouble
for me. Thank you and good luck this weekend. I'll tie up a few and give
them a shot. I live about 3-4 miles from golden gardens do you ever fish
there after work? I would be interested in meeting you there sometime soon
if you are interested.
Fish on!
Patrick
