I used to make that "mouth of the Hudson" description when I lived in Manhattan. But I don't get back there very often. Over 50% of my fishing is now in Little Neck, or in Manhasset Bay. Incidentally, that 16# weakie was weighed at R&G B&T and was caught by two rookies fishing Matinecock Point for Fluke. I see you are a stickler for pronunciation, so I wonder if you could tell me the correct way to pronounce "Squetauge"? Is it "squee-tog" or is it "squet-ogg"? Now I'm not particularly a fan of spectator sports, but my DAUGHTER is a diehard Yankee fan. You must admit they are the finest team that money could buy. Red Sox? Wasn't the last time they won a series in 1918 or something? In NYC, we have an underdog team as well, the METS.
(Those in the know, know this stands for "My Entire Team Stinks", or something like that)

Here's a piece of trivia for you ...who was George O'Brian?
