Oddly, it was like that for much of this morning, a wonderful three hours. I christened a new rod second cast with a twenty-four and a half pound ray, followed that with a beautiful two pound silver eel and then three Kahawai.

I'm dreading the time when surfcasting improves, I will never keep up with it.

When the Kahawai started, last half hour of the session, my wife refused me permission to pack up and go home, is there no pleasing women?
