Very nice story, Harry. Glad to hear the croaker are biting off the
Pax River.
They haven't started yet up at Herring Bay (except for one well-known
fisherman), but hopefully they'll be there in another week or so.

Fifteen people on that Parker must have been a little crowded, but
glad to hear
everything went well!
Did Harry said he used the Parker??? I'll have to go back to confirm that.

I didn't say, and I didn't.

Poor Herring. He's the Captain Queeg of Chesapeake Bay sportfishermen, I
kid you not. Six hours of trolling and he comes home with one small
keeper striper. Six hours. I'll bet he ran over his trolling lines, too.

Harry, Harry...did I say I came home with 'one small keeper striper'? Apparently
you don't know that the custom when fishing in the bay is to split up the fish?

I suppose if you've spent your life on headboats you wouldn't realize that. Oh
well, now you know.


I've decided to give you a new nickname: You're One-Fish John.

So, did you run over your lines, One-Fish John Queeg?

Do you ever try techiques other than trolling or bottom fishing? How far
and how accurately can you cast with a one-ounce package, assuming no
wind? Ever free-line? Ever look for pods of bait? Do you know what
sometimes swims with rays? Are you aware there is more to table fish
than stripers, spots, and croakers?

Oh, just in passing, what's your problem with headboat fishing? If I'm
traveling on business and we're in a seaside city and I have a morning
or afternoon free, I'll certainly look for a headboat.

One of the most renowned fisherman in northeast Florida is Captain
George Strate, who runs the Mayport Princess, and used to run the Miss
Mayport, until its demise. Most serious fishermen in Jax have gone out
with Cap'n George to learn the area. He's a great headboat and charter
captain. If you're ever down there, book a reservation and learn how to
fish.

You're not much of a fisherman, Herring, or much of a man, either.

Wow!

It's bad, isn't it Harry?
