Scoob: This is a blast talking about fishing especially to some one who is a veteran as far away as Texas. What kind of fishing am I interested in? I like to fish for anything. I once had an aquarium with two blue gill in it. I used to experiment with different fly pattern on them. I tied a fly pattern on a straight pin, to eliminate the hook and bounced it on top of the water to watch their reaction. When I was a kid I made my own hooks out of straight pins and caught smelt with bread balls. My first rod and reel was used to catch rat-tail sting rays out of our local bay. My first love though, is to fish all the hardbottom spots around Long Beach. I fish from a 28 foot Ulrickson with all the necessary electronics.You could probably get more of a handle on my fishing interests by reading the stuff I put on this site at "Georges' Corner". If you ever get to Southern California we could go get some of those "butts" you would like to tie into.
