All ocean fishermen are the descendants of ancient sailors. That is how fishermen got around, by sail boat. Evolution has produced a fisherman that now uses power to get to and from the fishing grounds, but he is still a sailor at heart. So it comes as no surprise that four letter words dot the vocabulary of most fishermen much as they do today’s sailors. But I don’t think there is a more heinous four letter word in the fisherman’s vocabulary than the word “wind.” And yet to a sailor, that word is their boat life’s blood, a dichotomy for sure.

I love it when a plan comes together. Whether it is fishing or traveling or really anything in life, there is something very satisfying when all the planning leads to the premeditated ending. But often there is more to the well-planned event. Call it layers in the universe or karma; it is pretty cool when you have a chance to see some of the manifestations. So, before I lose you all in my ethereal ranting’s, let me provide you a fishing report and then a few of the layers that went with it.
