I'm right there with you on fishing Zero7one, wether its deep-sea, inshore, or freshwater, I'm down for it.

I love fly fishing for trout near my parent's house in Boiling Springs, PA. Chasing the "big guys" in the ocean deeps, Red Drums in the tidal creeks of coastal GA, Rockfish out of the Chesapeake, or even the table-sized Channel Cats I can bag around here in Northern VA, it doesn't matter to me. I hope one day I can make it to the northwest for your kind of excursions. How is the fight with those Halibut BTW? Do they fight hard or feel like dead weight on the line?
