TICK TOCK TICK TOCK
 

I'm toast.

Dragged my boat home from work last nite. Been sitting there idle for a month and a half filling up with leaves. I pretty much think that is it for me, although the end may have been last week with George and Art as I have not wet a line since then. On to plug building I guess.

really, i was thinking about a trip to that area, on some calm day.
do you think its legit ?

I get the impression it really IS over

Slip is 8'10" tall......that shad is like 35 pounds!!:rotf2:

Fish in SoCo this morning. Cold as a well diggers A$$. Biggest was 32". I hate talkin' inches.

Officially over for me..... last casts today made with thoughts of Flap and his family. Rods out of truck and into the den rafters, so I can see them through the off season... I will get to cleaning, organizing, turning and building when the mid-winter blues set in. In hindsight, was a good year.

It's legit. Sent to me by a friend who lives on LI. Picture was taken near Paulie's Tackle which is right at the end of Montauk.

That pic of the 65lber is an older pic from about 2 years ago. That's been floating around for awhile. I have it on my email, my friend took it with a camera phone.

Its looking like Rmarsh may take the cake here.....hey wait a minute, is that Rosie Ruiz donned in waders shlepping a 40# plus fish towards the weigh station?

I can't believe it....

I can't believe he, excuse me she, was using a plug. Congrats to the winner.

Oh No! Not Rosie Ruiz of Boston Marathon Infamy.
Damm! I fish that spot all the time and I've never seen her there!
Hey wait a minute is that pic photoshoped?:fury:

Face is real, fish was photo-shopped :buds:.

Stay tuned, I think its gonna be a "photo" finish here....

still a couple days left! I'll be hitting the saltponds on the lower cape!

I'm done. My wife is in the hospital with a serious case of Pmeumonia
She's on oxygen and IV antibiotics right now. I'll be at the hospital with her as much as I can and home to take care of the house, kids and dog. Called work and told them I was taking some personal time off to help her recover. I've never had it (pneumonia)but she says she feels like shes fighting for her life right now. Been married to her for 32 years now and never seen her this sick. Made me realize how much she means to me.

Good luck with your bride :btu: - the fish can wait.

We have a winner!

I am happy to say she is home now and doing much better!
I'm so glad she"s home!:love:

Thanks for the chance to join the fun, to share stories and laughs as well as sadness along the way this fall doing something we love doing.

FISHING!

Good news on the contest and the wife (most importantly the wife!).
I had a pretty bad respetory infection after what I'm guessing was the swine, can't be too careful!
Later,
Rick
PS - Can't seem to spell respatory right!

congrats on both fronts

Thank you Back Beach - Congrats RMarsh :btu:

Hope you wife is feeling better.

My good friend at the local hardware store has had it for a month. It is the swine-a-rino

think of the root first

meaning to resporate then think respiratory

dunno why the "o" suddenly changes
to " i " lousy bastards :confused:

Thanks John: She is doing much better now, but the week she spent in the hospital had some scary moments. She was close to being put on a ventilator in ICU.

One night a nurse relocated her IV to a new vein, next morning we discovered that the antibiotics bag was never turned on!

Thanks to everyone here for the good wishes and concern.
Great bunch of people here on SB.com
