Hey Gang - Thanks for all the great replies. At least now that you all have replied I can cancel my appointment with Freud. Loufly - loved your comment of; ?There are times that I just know when a strike is going to happen, usually when day dreaming or at least when I am absent minded.? That happens to me all the time, and I usually end up adding a stroke in the number of ?hits? for the day column. In fact sometimes when it?s really slow and I can?t buy a strike, I'll just let ? of the line out, turn around and start stomping up river dragging the line behind me. Works every time.

Have really enjoyed the replies, some very interesting thoughts and feedback for sure.

May you all get to see your arbor knot, the next time out.

Bob
