sorry I missed the trip Eddie..not too sorry as I passed on a halibut trip and a shrimping trip today so I could teach my 2 yr old grandson how to hold a rod...trout fishing...he held it great and even started to learn to turn the crank...Unbelieveable to me but he actually sat in the grass right next to me and didn't move....staring at the rod....He's definitely going to be a good fisherman sooner than later.
