    Default FL. fish-in

    It's February, only 18 days till the fish-in! I've been pre fishing, caught Redfish last weekend and Trout this weekend. The water is still a little cool for my taste, but the fish are there! I know some of you will be here early and some are coming Friday and Saturday. I could use a rough count of how many will be here for breakfast on Friday and Saturday so I can make sure they have enough staff on hand ( Flatsdude will need two waitresses just for him I think!). Please send me an e-mail or respond here.
    Thanks and I am really looking forward to fishing with all of you!

    By Friday and Saturday I should have a sun tan and a hunger. Count me in.

    He's just using the lawyers to chum the water. The guns and money are bait for the lawyers.

    Bill,

    Well, it looks like I will not be going to the fish-in after all. I will be going to my grandma's 90th birthday party instead. My family finally decided to have it. At least it will be in Vegas. So, that will not be too bad.

    I was thinking about joining in. Then I read a post about the Fish-in and it said you had to be able to cast into your backing. So, where can I find a 50 foot WF8F line for salt water? So seriously, if this poor trout angler can only manage a short cast can I expect to cathc any fish out in the salt? This will be my first attempt at salt, but I'd really like to escape the frigid temps here in PA and feel a fish on the end of my line. What do you all think?

    RickB, You will still catch fish. 50 feet is plenty. Also, we will have 2 pro's here who have kindly offered to give some instruction on casting. The fish here are not that spooky, the biggest thing that casting far does is let you cover more water with each cast.

    Paul, sorry to hear you can't make it. Grandma is more important. I'm sure we can get another chance to fish. You know how to reach me.
