erasing my messages so the pirates who have invaded the website can have it to themselves.

Thanks for the report. Good observations about conditions makes it much more meaningful. Sorry about the skunk, but like you said, a good boat ride is a blast no matter how you cut it.

where do you get hermits this time of year?

It's kinda of wierd. At times we have caugth them on hermits when they would not touch anything else (fiddlers, clams or hard crab). I kinda of like to carry them during all of the early trips just for that feeling of security because you never know. Thanks for that report. I am going to try them Sunday.
