Something old...something new

[SkunkedAgain]

I'm with 90% of the recommendations above, but I think my favorite was the red/white and black/white dare devils.... Was so much fun when a big ole trout would nail them as you were reeling in your Mitchell 300... I'm not sure what happened to my old Mitchell, I need to go see if it's still stashed away at Dad's... Must have been the early to mid 80's when all the other reels showed up on the market, because before my mission Mitchell was king and when I got back things faded away to lots of other type reels... In fact I took my first other reel with me in my suit case to Florida in 83... Caught a lot of different fish on P-days over the next two summers, including some ocean and freshwater stuff that I haven't caught since... The burbot are as close to the eels I caught in the canals off the gulf coast, but the drum, reds, seatrout and dolphin fish (Dorado, mahi mahi) were the ones I remember the most and would like to catch more of... Anyway lots of old memories you stirred up Pat, was some fun times... Later J
