Favorite Memories of the Season

[BasicPatrick]

fishing memories this year were all good but the top 3 are....

1...My virgin trip to Montauk and the adventure while there that no doubt, changed me yet again (going back in two weeks)

2...2nd Place shore fly rod Striper in the MV Derby and all that it took to get it

3...building a Canal bike and doing a lot of learning the ditch

#1 Night fishing all by myself in September & constantly hitting 30" + stripers. I had to take my rig out of the water just to rest for 5 min & have a cup of coffee.
#2 My personal best 39" - first lil cow that didn't break off cuz the drag was to tight. I fought her till she was pooped out & let her go. It was the first time I felt like an actual "fisherman" & not a hammerhead.
#3 Fishing with my older brother (after 10 years of him not fishing. ) His ear to ear grins and laughter as he caught 20" schoolies brought back all the good times fishing as kids.

I'd like to thank you all as I have been reading your tips and learned most of what I know "online" here and at other sites. Not only have you made me a better fisherman but a better man as well.

Thank you
