Fishing with Don from two weeks ago....

I am fishing on Fridays now and met Doug U. the master fly fisherman of Long Beach shoreline.  He showed me his floating line with a very long leader set-up and also gave me a Ghost Minnow to copy.  I am in awe of how far he can cast and have attached a picture of him with a loaded rod.    It was so hard to cast the first time out, I only caught one little Halibut but the next Friday I caught 5 halibut and one Yellow Fin Croaker.  I am slowly getting the hang of casting the crazy thing.
