Ask Mark

[Big B]

Hello Mark, just dropped by to say hello, and hope you are doing well. In case the forum name was not a giveaway this is Brian Handlin, I tied the Big B fly for you back when I lived in Marathon. Do you still fish with Jack Callion? I miss the keys and all the great fishing I had there, anyway if you fish with Jack, let him know I said hi.

Dear Big B:

What a delightful surprise to hear from you. The last I heard, you were living in Houston and managing the tackle department in Bass Pro Shops. Yes, I still fish with Jack Callion and will be glad to convey your message. Jack now has his son, John, working with him. John runs his own boat and is very good, having been trained by his father.

Stay in touch and let me know what you are doing.

Best,

Mark Sosin

Wow, I guess I have been gone from the keys for some time, as I remember Jacks son, but he was just a kid then. I moved to the Seattle Washington area shortly after I got married, as all my wife's family were here. While there is some good fishing here, I must say that I really miss the fishing in Florida and Texas. I guess I am a flats fisherman at heart.
