Darin,
Please pardon my tardy reply. I think I'll take your suggestion and hit the
beach you suggest. However, I think it may be difficult for us to hook up since
I'm not sure what time I'll be over there yet. I'd love to repay you with a beer
or two for yr kindness, however. I'll be driving a green rangerpickup with a
michigan state spartans bumper sticker and a window decal that reads "real trout
don't eat pellets." I'm not sure what time the tides are on Sat. but I figure to
be fishing the slack and incoming. Should be there by no later than noon.
ok, thanks again.
