[quote TubeDude][cool][#0000ff]Put a serious test on Roghet today. He is an artist and seldom sees a sunrise. Gets up at 9 and wakes up at noon. You know the type. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]He had to rerig with the aid of my little head lamp.[/#0000ff][/quote]
[font "Arial"][#000000][size 2]HEY NOW, I resemble that remark! [
] I'm pleased you were aware of the challenge you placed before me. So let this be a warning to anyone that goes out with TubeDude - have an open mind, and a thick skin in case you have to read about yourself on the internet! [:p]
Yes it's very true, I take some morbid pleasure when I read reports of those getting to the water before dawn, and the bite starts at 10 AM. [] But yeah, silly me for thinking it would be light by the time we got to the docks so I could intend to rig myself after seeing what TD had on his line. I don't claim to an expert, but I try to be a good student. I now have a headlamp in my box-o-fishing-stuff.
I must say though, that TD did me a tremendous disfavor in letting me use his rod. (Ignorance is bliss donchaknow.) After catching one with it, my sentiment was like what Will Smith exclaimed in [/size][/#000000][/font][font "Arial"][#000000][size 2]the movie[/size][/#000000][/font][font "Arial"][#000000][size 2] in "Men in Black" "I GOTTA GET ONE A THESE!" [cool] I told my son of the experience, and he said "So, now are we going to learn to make poles now too?" I still believe that one size doesn't fit all fishing situations, but I ask myself "wouldn't I rather go to battle with a sword, rather than a dagger?" It sure made it easier to detect a bite, set the hook - and feel the fight of the fish. Live and learn I did.
Thanks TD, for stating that I have "potential." And as to the next challenge I say "bring it on!" [
