[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]"Women's Angling" group, began with a more than shaky start on Sun. (3/30)[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]when the wind came whistling down the gulf. It kept practically everyone[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]pinned to the beach and those who weren't, wished they had been. On Mon.,[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the wind quit and the fish began to bite. Her group accounted for good[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]guide Jeff Solis tied a purple and gold tuna buster that must have looked[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]like a piece of pepperoni pizza to the tuna the way they sucked it up. Three[/font][/size]
