[cool]Welcome, Vinny! Your comments about families fishing together was "on the money!" When I was growing up in Southern California, our family always fished together, saltwater and freshwater. Even now as I, too, approach grandfatherhood, I can still remember some magic days of family fishing. Fallen Leaf Lake just south of Lake Tahoe, catching so many trout that it was just unbelievable. We had an incredible fish fry that night. Lake Mead in Nevada, we caught bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish, and carp on almost every cast. Mission Bay in San Diego, a saltwater bonanza of spotted bay bass, sand bass, calico bass, halibut and giant bat rays. These are such vivid memories. Now that my grandson is getting older, I hope I can create some new family fishing memories. And isn't that what it's all about?
