Yea, it was great. Didn't get it up here, though - we were vacationing
in Cabo San Lucas :-). And right after that, my wife pulled in a 125
lb. marlin. And she did it all by herself.
And yes, deep sea is pricey, so I don't do it much, either. But both
pier and surf fishing was generally pretty good along the Outer Banks of NC.
The Chesapeake has a lot of little jellyfish up around Baltimore, but by
the time you get down to Annapolis and below there aren't many there at
all. But there also aren't any fishing piers.
