Finally a chance to get out!

-My replacement section for the VXP was wrapped and finished a couple weeks ago. A new pair of Rocsocs came to my door a week ago. I was unable to get out to use them. Global Tides app said today would be ideal (winds SE, waves .7ft). I had no obligations, finally, so I called my fishing buddy and we hit the beach. Finally.

The fish were there. Some took my fly. Others fled in terror from it.

My fishing buddy! I build that rod for him a decade ago for his birthday. I suffered a brain aneurysm one week before that day (ten years ago, June 28th!). When I finally came to, that's all I was concerned with. In fact, my first words were an apology for not giving it to him on time! He said "That's okay, son". Anyways, he got some...

I know some of you recognize the background. Shhhhhhh.

When I got home, the mailman had left me my next project. Handle kit arrived as well. Just waiting on the guides. I'm giving in to the saltwater 5 wt. trend.

Here I sit at work staring at my screen. Glad someone getting out and enjoying the day. What type of fish did you hookup with?

Looks like those storms really did make the beaches a lot smaller ! Back casts into the trees ?
