Bloo - in new haven there is a fair haven but yes I would rather be 20 minutes from where GB is - Cuttyhunk of course. Fair Haven ain't the best of neighborhoods. When I'm in new haven area usually fish meigs point rip @ hammo or milfords' gulf beach, or w. haven sandbar even pennfield. But I usually travel the extra hour or hours to RI or the Cape when going hardcore! Saltheart thanks for coming to new havens defense - yes there was a mighty big fish that came out of new haven harbor, i believe it's hangin' in dees tackle shop? Anthony and GB - thank you for the recommendations on the schoolie pole - will look into it but "definitely" don't need another reel - well maybe just one?

John, yeah I skated with those guys get Liam skating @ age 3 - I'll come down and skate with him! I'm a simple man, if I ain't with wife and baby - I'm playing hockey or fishing. Funny how it all really works, it's how your brought up by your family and what they do. My great grandfather played ice hockey and fished, my grandfather the same, my father the same, 2 older brothers the same, did I have a choice? Soooo GLAD that I too play hockey and fish, my dad taught me everything I know - and we both still learn more about each sport every day, you're never too old to learn and try new things. did my dad force me into either sport - no, told me i could stop any time. My daughter Gwen will fish and play hockey (she could stop at any time), the usa women beat germany 10 - 0 yesterday. looking forward to the men's competition, usa has a good of chance as any team, my prediction is it will between them and canada....
