[cool]Now you're breakin' the code. Wipers are fun however you catch them, but double from a tube. My opinion. That sounds like a hefty smallie too. I'll bet he stretched your string and bent your stick good.
Can't help you on the bugs. EmuScud's advice was good. Wear a shirt made of material they can't bite through and then spray it down with a good repellent. If they get so bad they are getting in your eyes and ears, get one of those head nets. That's about the only way you can survive without going whacko when they really get bad.
It won't be too long until the mosquitoes thin out and the fall fling gets into high gear for the wipers. I'd like to be there for that.
