Cool They won't come here so I had to go there

Today, on the 5th day of my annual two week September vacation I went to this place with my Bud Eric Lafleur. I left home on Cape Cod at just before four in the morning and got there at six fifteen. Do you know "where" this is?

Bernzy's Surf Howdy saw continuous action today, no doubt it was the hotest plug in the arsenal. Way over 25 bass to 17/18 pounds from twinkies in the 24 inch range and throw in a couple massive Bluefish then this is what the plug looked like after the contest, bloodied but not beaten!!!! Hey Bernzy, think about making one of these in yellow, but say an inch longer and hike the body dimension by about 30%. Your picture is on my piano! Absolutely great lure!!!

Like a dream date. What is the clip on the plug eye in the last pic?

Thumbs up

Break-a-Way 50lb. speed clip. Just started using them awhile back on advice from MikeCC. I have the 80lb ones as well. As long as I can get them I don't think I will ever use a conventional snap again. They are awesome and made from spring stainless Steel. Mikes got 'em if you need 'em on his site or you can pick them up from him at M&D's in person.

I agree with Eben, east side of Fisher's Island which is closest to Connecticut, but part of New York.

I hate you

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Bart, I find that my St. Croix Tidemaster 8' lightweight conventional casting stick with a Shimano GT-100 works best. 30lb Stealth to a 25 lb. test Fluorocarbon leader and snap. Side action twitch so it zig-zags and occasionally pops up. The bass cannot resist it.

Attaboy, Flap

Way to go!

And yeah, you're right - Bernzy's Surf Howdies are the....uhhhh....breasts...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
