lee,
You're absolutely right about the stripes liking some lights better than others and to tell you the truth, I could never figure out why sometimes. There were some lights that looked really good to me and to me looked no different than some of the other lights they were using but for some reason they were almost never there. Do you have an explanation? For some reason when we used to fish the lights at night in the middle of winter I always felt kind of sneakey and like I was doing something wrong like breaking curfew or sneaking out of the house or playing hookey from school and I don't know why because it's perfectly legal. The others must have felt the same way without admitting it because we almost always spoke softly or whispered. Weird, huh?
