I like this idea. Another post mentioned "reading the water". As someone who is pretty new to striper fishing I have a ton of questions and not enough resources to get answers. I would definitely be open to being "adopted" for a day. I learned that it is pretty pointless to ask people for spots, so I am now constantly looking around on maps and while driving in my car for what I think might be a good spot, but still the only time I have caught anything is when I was brought someplace by someone who knew what they were doing. Also, I have read about a lack of etiquette going on out there; other than not standing in front of someone already fishing, I wouldn't know the first thing about fishing courtesy. I fully understand that the best way to learn is to get out there and do it, but a little education might be advantageous for us rookies and for the sharpies...a "sharpie" is a little magic marker, right?
