Glad all went well and you guys caught some fish. Most of all, I' m glad the weather cooperated while you were out. It' s been fairly nice up north, but foggy in the morning. I' m headed out tonight to see if there aren' t some straggler bou' s that haven' t worked their way into the oilfields yet. Pretty good amounts this year came right through town and the field.

Phish, good luck with the halibut. Are you going to go after crabs too, or just rely on your kindly neighbor? I haven' t heard from either of those two in a while, SEAK or junogrl. Hope they are out having fun. If you want help with those photos, e-mail them to me and I' ll post em for you.

I' ve been scratching all over as well. Got to be from those dang drawing permits. I' ve got the itch pretty bad this year, although I know the $20 I gave to fish and game for the permits will just turn into donations. I only applied for a few, but I guess you gotta keep hope alive!

Man, 108 in Vegas yesterday[X(] and it is supposed to stay like that for the next two weeks. 14 days till I' m there.
