i've been really fishing. it's been getting good, too...not only lots of fish but finally some of size. the small blue fish are in, too, and they are always a hoot. had the opportunity to fish with a guy from upstate ny who emailed me for advice on fishing plum island sound. i invited him to fish with me from the yaks, and at the end of the day he blurted out, "this is the best fishing day i've ever had!!!" makes me wish i had charged him! but he did invite me to go steelhead fishing up his way....
