Hi again,

Buddy, it sounds like this could be a pretty challenging time for me... but I may still go for it. Charlaine, I'm usually mid-state or south; I'm from Richmond. Really don't know the topography of the ponds here; last summer was mostly a matter of tossing out a popper and hoping for the best. I'm fishing from a kayak.

Keep those answers coming, all! Great hearing from you!
