I agree w/ Duke41... "well said!"
I've only been at it for a few months and have yet to catch a single striper. But... I have high hopes of landing a schoolie this weekend.
I will probably only venture out a few more times this year, even though I called it quits a week or so ago
, but I have really enjoyed my time standing in the surf, looking at all the creatures, watching the sun and moon rise and set, and landing a few blues and hickory shad.
I'm not looking forward to the long off-season but I have a few books on the way and I'll be purchasing a new rod and reel as the spring gets closer.
Thanks to all of you who provided guidance and I'm looking forward to meeting up with you, in the surf, in the spring.
Good luck and best regards,
Rob
