RB - No immediate plans to go as of right now. Got the blown tranny rebuilt ($1349) and had to take it back to the shop this morning. Truck has a stumble around 50 - 60mph and has had the stumble for over a year. I always thought it was the tranny on its way out but mechanic took a ride with me yesterday and swears its a plug or a wire. We'll see.

Out buddies did end up going that weekend we were supposed to go. They made it out in the blow that Friday 1/2 day and all day Saturday. No fish friday and one keeper Saturday.....that my friends is what you call a long, tough, expensive trip. Same thing happened to us last season. Fished two days...one fish and the durn thing wasn't even a keeper!

Have not eaten striper in two years. :-(
