Why I live where I do! (Page 4 of 5)

Maybe it's time to close this thread too.....plenty of good people pissed right now....hey I'm just sayin

Peace Out

Take a deep breath, Scott.  George (Geko) is a German fan.  He has no agenda.  Doesn't have much English either.  I'm almost positive that the "creepy guy" was about the motor city madman, who is a polarizing figure at best.  I would just take it as an aside (because I've corresponded with Geko over the last few years) that he's not a gut pile junkie.  That's all.  He is just a regular guy like any of us.  He wouldn't try to hijack a thread and was probably surprised by your response.  Don't go anywhere, just yet.

I got the CDs; will listen today.  Thank you!

I agree that it is a lovely thread and I'm enjoying the nature talk.  My son just returned from a cliff climb in Tenn.  2 guys, 5 girls camping in the mountains.  My wife just returned from hiking the Appalachian Trail through Va. I hate 'em,   Being the tropical guy I am, I always gravitated to the sea and the islands...so fishing and scuba/snorkel for me.  HOWEVER...

the first time I hit high country, either coast, it was cold and I was stunned by the beauty & the solitude...fell in love again.

I'm convinced, that when I make 2-3 $, the ideal scenario is a penthouse in the city, a cabin in the mountains, and a tree house in the islands.  Dream on right?

Hey Curby. Coronado Beach was voted the best in the US last week in the annual competition. I know you had enjoyable times there. Had a walk this morning on my beach, took the spinning rod down and had fun catching and releasing a bunch of small surf perch on plastic grubs.

Since I know your love of the fly gear, there are quite a few fly casters that show up and work the pockets in the surf. A local has come up with a fly that is a sand crab pattern with a bit of orange to imitate one with eggs, which are favored by the perch and occasional elusive and wary corvina, there are plenty but it is very hard to coax a bite. It is nice early with only a few shore joggers and surfers to watch. It is amazing that the perch are not put off by crowds of bathers. I've caught them one after another right in the middle of hundreds of people out in the water. The theory is that the waders stir up the sand crabs and the fish come in to feed. Not the same as stalking trout along streams in the sierra, but time on the water with a rod in hand is all good, and it is a 5 minute walk.

Glad to see you back Curby! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have discovered many of the new artists that now populate my I-pod.

I leave foe Alaska again in 12 days so I'll have more fishing/scenery pics and (hopefully!) a couple of stories when I get back. I'm going to place called Elfin Cove which is up by Juneau on the coast. No fly-fishing on this trip however. We're going after salmon and halibut offshore. I'm told to expect to bring back approx. 100 lbs. of fish. There'll be some grilling' at my place later! Y'all are welcome to come of course!

Well, this thread is as much about fishing as any. Here's a WHOPPER! http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/342 … A.facebook

Bluebird sky! That was a rare day in Seattle.
