Fishermen's Fleet Reports

SINCE IT COSTS A LOT TO WIN,
AND EVEN MORE TO LOSE.
YOU AND ME BOUND TO SPEND SOME TIME,
WONDERIN' WHAT TO CHOOSE.

CHOICES, THE ROADS NOT TAKEN, FLIP A COIN, SPIN A BOTTLE, WHAT TO DO. WHEN THE MOST HONORABLE DOC SAN DECIDED TO BOOK A FISHIN' TRIP WITH HIS TRUSTY BUNCH OF PISCATORIAL RONIN HE WAS TORN BETWEEN HIS HABITUAL HAUNTS IN THE BAY OF LOS MUERTOS AND THE FURTHER FLUNG ESTUARIES OF MAG BAY.. HE WAS EXCITED BY THE PROSPECT OF SNOOK, HALIBUT, AND GROUPER ON LIGHT TACKLE ON THE PACIFIC SIDE AND YET THE TRIED AND TRUE YELLOWTAIL, PARGO, AND CABRILLA OF HIS HOME STOMPIN' GROUNDS TEMPTED HIM AS WELL. "AS I SEE IT MY FRIEND" HIS PORTLY ADVISOR SPOKE WHILE STROKING SEVERAL OF HIS CHINS, "IT'S MUCH LIKE THE CONUNDRUM POSED WHEN ASKED, "WOULD YOU PREFER PIE OR CAKE" FOR DESSERT. THERE IS NOT A WRONG CHOICE, BUT ONE MUST LINGER UNENJOYED.. HOW DO YOU ANSWER THAT QUERY?" THE EXPERT DENTIST AND PART TIME THUMB MECHANIC THOUGHT SHORT AND HARD AND RESPONDED, " I ALWAYS SAY "YES" WHEN POSED WITH THIS POSTRE PREDICAMENT." THEY STARED AT EACH OTHER BRIEFLY, UPON WHICH TIME THEIR EYES LIT SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND WE BEGAN TO BOOK A TRIP THAT WOULD INCLUDE BOTH.

A COMBO TRIP OF THIS SORT ALLOWS ONE TO ENJOY BOTH THE ACCUSTOMED AND THE NOVEL.WITH BUT ONE AIRLINE TICKET YOU CAN ENJOY TWO OF THE WORLD'S FINEST FISHING DESTINATIONS, AND YET CROSS BUT ONE TIME ZONE. IT'S LIKE THE PERFECT RIDDLE, WITH THE PERFECT ANSWER.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT A LA MODE?
