I DID IT!!!
"Larry" (pictured below with me), short for Larry Bird, measured in at 33" long.
My biggest catch ever, it beat my goal of catching a 30" striper by 3 inches!
Carl would be so proud of me.
Thanks to all the tips and well-wishing. What a rush.

Here is a picture of Sweetieface's fish. If they are getting fish like this on the north shore, maybe we should take Ross up on his get together offer.

I'm flattered, Bloocrab.  Thanks.
But the fish bit because he knew he was overpowered by my massive fishing skills......... (ok, even *I'm* laughing at that!) I have a four inch bruise on my forearm from reeling the sucker in!
The rocks are beautiful, aren't they?
I am sorry, but if Carl taught me one thing: You cannot divulge your fishing locations......
If I do, you'll catch all the big ones and I'll have none!!!!!
Thanks again Specialist for posting that for me!  |

I already am hooked for life. After the first time I went, I was thinking about it all day long after.
It is like a drug.
And don't worry, I have clothes specially put aside just for my new favorite hobby....
Going out to buy my first rod next week. Any suggestions?

Go to a reputable store with your friend. Try the rods yourself, whats good for some of us may be not be good for you. Daiwa Sealine-X rods are a good price, light in weight, and have quality components.
Since I posted that picture, care to divulge to me any hotspots |

I use a Daiwa Sealine Surf and it is exactly as advertised, not too expense but it is really light and is a quality product...
