Hey Bill, I thought you went down early this month?

I did I was down for 12 days from the 16th to the 28th of march. I am going back down from the 23rd to the 29th of april. who knows if things keep going the way they are I may be back in may

Nice to see Chico is still raising the blues. We averaged seeing a blue a day on our last trip. One day we raised a black and caught a blue - 6 miles from the beach. Pretty incredible place
