Hmmm, I'm going to have to see if I can talk my wife into moving
there, but I want to try some in Oregon first.

Here, in So Cal it just isn't that great. Ocean fishing is slowing
down due to the raping of the seas by the Asian fishing fleets. Calif
was supposed to protect our fish, what a laugh, now they are closing
down great areas.
When I was a kid, ocean fishing was a lot like you described, but no
more.

That would have been worth the travel then. I glossed over it, knowing
I'd never be able to get there in time to pick anything up.
Thanks for the link.

Is the fishing really that good around there where you are?
Looks like an old Rail Road man. Nice stuff.

Yes, I agree, but it would take what is left of my life just to sort
it out. Best to pass it on to heirs that care with enough cash to
carry out the intents of the parents.
They even had a "Cash iron pot" with plants on the porch, stoop,
veranda, or whatever its called. :)
