"a guy at work went to a recent club meeting for off-shore fellas"
Just casual talk at work Doug(related to your recent catch), them off-shore guys have deeper pockets then me= no club affiliation....I'm happy with the humble "niche" I live in the in-shore & freshwater world. Should have added (1st move/direction) after Pompano being hooked...as told 2nd hand to me.....we'll have to settle it over a "cold one someday"
