Your right RG, my original thread on this was on topic. I was trying to raise a little cheer amid the doom and gloom that I had been reading on this thread. Unfortunately I included the word "hatchery" which seems to inflame some here. Back on topic, the good old days are coming, the runs may be small now but they`re coming. Springer fishing is right around the corner and we`re expecting a banner year. Tuna will be close in this year and I`m expecting to plug the boat every time out with a few new tactics that I`ll be trying. Summer steelhead runs have been record breaking the last few years so we can expect more of the same this coming summer. It`s going to be a busy year, here`s to the good old days that are in our future. Bill
