Cod,tuna,tog,bsb.,,,,I fish for it all. Lately the bonito have shown and they are fun to eat and catch. I fished the lanes yesterday and the Sakonnet today with many species to the boat including BSB,blues ,bass,tuna,wahoo and mako.

Did I mention I love fishing?
catch and eat

Chris, I have to admit, I admire your flexibility to change it up. I'm too stuck in my ways of being a Striperman for almost 50 years but I'm changing. I have been scupping and BSB fishing. I'm terrible at it as my technique and mindset is still "bass". I 'll figure it out on my own as that's how I learned to be a successful Striper fisherman. When I started there were no cell phones, internet or FB. You learned on your own by trial and error, listening to the sharpies and keeping your mouth shut. Most of all you put your time in.

I will never forget me complaining to Charlie Murat and Dave Hammock that I had never caught a 30# bass and they laughed at me. Charlie looked me right in the eye and said, "You haven't earned the right to catch a 30 in the surf cause you ain't put your time in yet".
