PS ... I picked up my 2018 fishing license yesterday after fishing at LAH. Inspired!

A Merry Fishmas!    

"Happy Holiday's     and tight lines to all!"

Good on ya for getting out in that mess. That one mile you kicked must have felt like four. Bonus was good fishing as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Actually Jerdon ... it was only the last 10-minutes of my session
that had become hurricane blown, so I really had a comfortable
and relaxed kick during my session, up until that moment.

Also, I was really super close to my launch when it all went to crap.
So I really ended up having a great session over all.
