[Old Man in the Sea]

I want to thank Josh Pruitt for my new avatar picture. As many of you have heard, it pays to hire a guide to help to accelerate your learning curve in LJ and save yourself many hours of fishing in “dead" water. I am an experienced fisherman and sportswriter, but I will be the first one to admit it has a worthwhile investment. After fishing with Darkhorse, I consider ocean kayak fishing to be an extreme sport because I have lost an average of 5 lbs of sweat per trip and I have been using a five hour energy drink when we head back for the barn at sunset. I am very blessed to have a stable Hobie PA 14 fully with rigged a with bait tank, a fish finder and excellent fishing gear. I have 2 more paid lessons with Josh, so will hopefully be able to post another thread with a smile looking down on a WSB or big halibut. I always give all the credit for my fishing success to God, but I know he hooks me up with the right people to show me the way.
