12.07.10 How lucky am I too escape this cold to go to Tampa where it's....

38 degrees right now. So much for signing off on striper season and heading for redfish today with friend and former Fly Hatch owner Dave Choinard. His text from yesterday was, "It's f#&%in' cold down here!". Here is todays Tampa Tribune front page,

I fly out of Atlantic City at 1pm and get in around 4. I have my camera gear packed up, why I don't know. I pimped the idea of a redfish-in-Tampa-a-stones-throw-from-the -airport story around, I wonder how the editors react to seeing images of fly fisherman in Florida with winter parkas on? Oh, well, just my luck. Be back up when I get back.
