Brickman, Bob is my old man of 40 sweet years. Yes your dad and Bob was cut from the same cloth. They have saltwater in their veins. You got a deal son, you guys are welcome any time. He still has the boat but for how long I don't know. The next one will be a lot better than this one. He has some really great ideals for the other one. One thing that really gets me is how he can punch that boat in any hole. He is one of the best boatsman I have every seen and a fishing fool. He can see those darn flats like no other. You guys got a slow ride but when I am on the boat with him, hell he flys down that shore, screaming at me DIDN"T YOU SEE THAT ONE.

I would scream back, hell no, but if you would slow this damn boat down I might. Man you should hear us out there. He would reach out in front of me and gig a flounder and tell me, didn't you see that one, it was right there. I standing there holding that 10 foot gig telling him, yeah I seen it and you hit him before I could put my gig in the water. And I would say THATS ONE OLD MAN. Stay on your side of the boat. I accidentally

hit him in the back of the head with the gig and he nearly went over board. Man did I get a dirty look. I told him oh hell if you had gone over i would have picked you up on the way back.

Needless to say I don't get to go out much any more. If I do He won't let me touch a gig.

I love going out there just to look around and take pictures. Sometimes I will grab my blanket and pillow and sleep. Sometimes I just look up at the stars and listen to the water slap up against the boat. About that time I will get a fish in my face and he is just laughing his rear off. Will, the fight is on then. He never has been over board, but I have.

Laughing the whole time. We have just to much fun out there. I am so glad that you guys got to go with him. Hopefully you will get to go again. You know that floundering is year around. I am really glad for your dad too. He got to see a whole new way to flat fish. By the way how old is that ice chest that he had? Bob told me about it and said he has not seen one like that in a very long time. Tell him hey for us. Later
