Why do I always end up in the curent shit hole I live in (Klamath Falls)? I guess owing land is a good thing.

I live in Portland Oregon 1092.9 miles from the Red Rooster and 1006.6 miles from Charkbait.

Oklahoma...1383 miles to Point Loma, H & M & Fishermans Landing. Or a 2 hr 50 min via air. Just got back yesterday from a 3-Day on the Vagabond with limits of Albacore for all 21 pasengers. I'll post a report.

Nobody would know where Auburn WA. is so Seattle works for me. Been in the Great Northwet for 22 years now B-4 that it was San Diego. But, I spent my formative years in Pueblo Colorado.

Budd, We have to talk. "Yes Dear" is going to make me give up my fall 10 in 2008. She wants to go to your neck of the woods and watch the trees change color.(Ain't that as exciting as all hell)(in fact I'm so excited about it I could just shit)

So drop me an e-mail so's I can find out the when's and the where's.

Beautiful downtown Burbank.

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and spent summers in So. Cal fishing with grandfather. I make my annual tuna migration to San Diego and fish up north for salmon, halibut, lingcod, and albies when it warms up. I am landlocked in Las Vegas for a couple years but I am back to CA for good in August.

Also a Mike 20 mi. ne of the shop,my truck knows the way there better than home!

T-r,

If it helps, you can always tell youknowwho that she can watch the trees change color on the weatherchannel.
Don't forget to duck!
Also understand that the Island Nation of Cape Cod (being basically a sandbar) has very few leafy trees. It is mainly scrub pine and condos. Depending on where you settle, you may need to travel 50 mi. or more to actually see trees that actually change color in fall.

HTH

I'll send Email in the AM, Eastern Daylight Time

Oh man! Walt you got me good. Right in the achilles. I have no odea where you're at. =)

Oh by the way. Its great to discover the type of coverage Charks site has all over the US. Nice to meet all of you guys. If i'm ever in the any your area I will definately drop someone a line.

A little of my backgroud. I was born in Vietnam and spent ahout year in Malaysia in a refugee camp. Then we immagrated to Pennsylvania and i was there for 10 years. My dad would take trips to Balitmore with friends and catch 20-30 pound bluefish on the troll. Then we moved to California when i was 12 because the economy was so terrible and have been here ever since.

Didn't get into fishing until i took my dad on a 1.5 day trip on the Cherokee Geisha in SD and that planted a seed that grew into an obsession.

Iggy,
Congradulations for making it out of Vietnam, too bad your in California . I hope you are either on the road to citizenship or already a citizen, my step mother (Thai) is on the road to citizenship right now.
