Hey Cass

Fellow blacksmith here, welcome to the forum.

Man, that's one hell of a fish in your avatar pic.

Its a Permit, native to the Caribbean. I fly fish in a small town in Mexico every year south of Cancun. A place called Xcalak. Magical place and fishing is spectacular. Took 12 trips of a least a week each to catch one of those! Its a fun pursuit.

Wow, that sounds awesome. How did you find out about Xcalak? Google shows it's a 6 hour drive from Cancun to Xcalak, so you must be flying direct, how it is compared to Cancun?
