Derby trip
 

9 days flashed by on Chappaquid#^&#^&#^&#^&.
Awesome time other than the canal style pork frogging.
I guess it’s the way to fish now. Just gang up on a bent rod.
Btw… got sick of giving bluefish albie lures so we used 150# mono crimp on leaders.
Still caught albies, go figure.

A few more
 

Couple more…

Couldn’t resist
 

Peter Hess in our group won the shore bluefish.
So I had to…

Canal club well represented
 

Great crew

Fishing "etiquette" did leave a little to be desired at times this year. Glad you guys had a great time.

That little rod threw albie lures a country mile.

Congrats to Peter! Very nice fish indeed.

A few weeks ago he was showing me the proper golf grip on my 7’10” weapon jr. He said to me , “ You never should have done that !”
He bought one the next day. It’s what he caught the winning blue on with a 20 knot onshore wind and 4 foot waves. Lotta power in a little package.

looks awesome an great photos

that,s what makes great friendship & memories

that,s the way I feel about the few Cutty trips I was lucky enough

to go on :claps::claps::claps:

Nice Bob. I see Lu and jetty teddy. Got to
Love the weapon Jr. Now you need the mag taper weapon Jr.

Glad you guys had a great trip

Pray tell what ?

I just ordered a 7' 3" mag weapon Jr

Sweet !!

I love em. I think I have 6 various ones. They are not cheap. The mag taper is more parabolic and just as light. I really like that one. I used it all Albie season this year. My favorite now but I still like the regular weapon Jr. You can really put the boots to them. I would recommend stainless guides as I’m constantly busting titanium single foot guides. When you bend them back, which happens, they tend to bust. Not so much with stainless. The weight issue with stainless is non existent as the blank is like a feather.

Great review Paul!

Was a fun time...good seeing everyone out there

Sounds like a great time Bob
