I got invited to fish with some policeman friends of mine from Deer Park and Pasadena for their annual tourney yesterday so with the howling southern winds and next to lowest coeffecient I was sure to let them down. We took off in the dark from the dike and headed into lower Gbay welcoming over spray with every swell. Having fished with these guys only once before im sure they were like "look at this guy" when I donned my rain gear and life jacket while still sitting on the dock . Well needless to say only my feet and face got wet on that brutal ride (shoulda taken the panga). Running tight to the shore as possible we made our way to our grind for the day but a last minute slick at one of my 'howling south' haunts caused too much of a distraction. Idle in, anchor out, lines out, THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP. Ok so its now 615-30 and we at least got our 5 trout to weigh in. Flip a coin and leave them to find some reds and hopefully some bigger specks. OF COURSE WE DIDNT CATCH ANOTHER TROUT ALL DAY. The reds we did find still had blue tails and of course there were the 2 trout that got away. Ill not go into detail but lets just say they were the kind that end up in your den for years to come. We fished several spots over the day with nothing else to show as mentioned but we ended up headin to weigh-in feeling halfway ok/slightly bummed about our 5 based on the conditions. Ended up with a plaque for our stringer, a new fishing pole, some t-shirts, a berkley spooling station, and some sunscreen. SO as it turned out not a bad day after all. I refuse to admit what our stringer of 5 actually weighed

"Lectronic Strippers" don't give ya tatty bar remorse and don't hurt your wallet and credit cards like "Live Strippers"!!
Plus they serve a different purpose, although similar in nature-both remove things."Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

Got the station in on Friday & put it to work Friday night. It's a cheap little setup, but it works surprisingly well. They could've spent a hair more in the design process & upped the cost a little by putting a built-in tensioner on it, but I'm happy with it. Overall, good product. I'd give it a 3.5-4 out of 5.
