I am negotiating with Da Wife for a quick weekend trip to FL before seminars season starts in few weeks. I doubt it will happen thou.
I'd like to do two or three Cutty trips, block island is next on my itinerary although I might take a wife to MV in summer. It depends if we end up going home to Europe in which case after a month of two there, i'll be too broke to buy a plug ,never mind plan a trip
I have to hook up and fish with Pat Abate this year . I fished with him in Montauk but I'd like to do it in CT.
Steve McKenna is another as its PeteG and most of RI crew.
I am doing a talk at mass-bass meeting in May so hopefully I'll find someone to fish with in the are afterwards. Never fished the canal and that sounds like so much fun.
Maybe this will be the year where I finally hook up with Michael Hogan from Hogy lures and we finally get to plug the Elizabeth islands from the boat.
Would be nice if notorious NIB would give me a buzz when everyone and their mother is catching cows from NJ surf....hey a man can dream ,right ?
With 3 friends I have a little cottage booked in Montauk for 6 weeks starting in mid September and going through November,we had this for years. Last year I slept there once, this year ,I did not sleep there at all. I found better quality close to home so I kind of made a decision not to run there. You really could not find better action anywhere, the place had a daily blitzes for something like 45 straight days starting in last days of August. Considering I am starting my guiding this year I expect to spend a lot of time at Montauk this fall. The place is "the surfcasting capital of the world", the sign that greets you as you enter the park says so, but I would rather be at Cutty most of the time.
A trip to Maine in summer is a possibility, there are some good friends I'd like to see.
Along the way I'd like to meet new people, see many old-friends and most of all, see new places.
This is my wish list, what will actually happen ,who knows..........
