Re: Favorite music while fly tying?
Radiohead, for the most part. Like Gil, however, I too am a tv casualty. The dvr playing Judge Judy on the tube is usually in the background.

Re: Targeting snook during the cold months
Left them alone last winter for obvious reasons. I do fish for them only if it's been "warm" for a period of time... I do try to get them in as quick as possible, leave them in the water during release. Barbless since birth...

Re: Closing out the year...
Wow. It's been a year of ups and downs. All I have is a cheap camera and a 2mp cell phone to tell the story. Sorry I don't have a pretty collage... The spring started out promising. Fishing was really good. Then came the summer. I was laid off in mid July. I don't want any sympathy. I was miserable ...
