Guest Report post Posted December 27, 2005 longears I noticed you live on Whidbey Island. My brother lives in Freeland, and recently is going thru some health problems. He was very active with some local fishing club. Great area that you are in. Was up that way last summer. Have a good one, Pat Carroll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
