I do have one question for everyone. I recently saw a mention in "On the Water" magazine that FLW was going to have one of their tournaments out of Quincy next month on the 19th.

Besides myself, who else is planning to fish that tournament?

Thanks,

If there was a Surf Division.

PennHead - Are you coming all of the way up from Decatur Georgia to fish the Quincy FLW ? That's an awful long haul to come for a Tourney that didn't exist before.

JohnR,

Thanks for the big "Welcome Aboard"!

And, thanks for keeping us all safe and checking me out.

No, I'm not coming from Decatur, GA. The only way I figured you came to that conclusion is that my email is via Bellsouth and I think that is the location for their base of operations. But really JohnR,..why do you care where I'm from. My simply asking if anyone else is going to fish in a (by boat) tournament isn't some vast striped bass conspiracy to convert surf fishing guys to boat fishing guys.

Yes, I know of a few surf fishing guys who actually consider getting in a boat from time to time to chase stripers. I'm one of them.

And, Yes, it's usually all about the fishing...but with a $50,000 check guaranteed for 1st place.....I think I would travel that far to fish in a tournament....as long as I had confidence in my ability. I believe most of those guys who fished the big FLW tournament in Hartford last week were from the south. And I bet most of them started out fishing off the bank as well.

Finally, as your fishin physician, I don't believe you have enough fishing in your diet. You are spending way to much time in front of the keyboard.
