Hey Gang,
Sounds like you didn't have much more luck than my crew had. Except for Saltheart, nice work!
As always, thanks for the compliments guys. (This site is great for my ego.... !!!)
As for Saturday, I had a great time. I have only been out a few times this year, and each time has been rainy, cold and windy....getting used to it I think. Didn't catch anything but the most disgusting seaweed. Thanks to Sprinkles for the waders, John, Got Stripers for the extra rods. (and thanks to Chris for the comic relief!)
Saw a car fire on Rt. 3 No. around 1:30am. Completely engulfed, the smoke blocked up the entire highway. It was like coming around Turn 4 at Daytona, and suddenly there's no road and a car next to you ablaze!!! Not fun.
I've got a big YES for Nightfighter, I DID make it at 0700 in Plumb Island. Of course, after 3 hours of sleep, its not fun being on a rocking boat for 8 hrs. I spent the better part of those 8 flat on my back, pale skinned (moreso than usual) and praying for death. Next time I'll remember to take Dramamine..... (no, I didn't toss my cookies, but was sure I would) I only got in about 1 hr of fishing, more or less....sigh.
Ended up catching a sandshark and a beautiful Haddock (no pictures with the haddock, the minute I got him in the boat I almost dropped from dizziness and had to run to a chair!) but he'll look even finer on my dinner table tonight......
ps - as for my driving, it's unexplainable. I didn't even hit 80mph, and somehow ALWAYS make it home in record time. Who knew FORD made a Time Machine disguised as a ZX2???
