Ok let me preface this report by saying it is 2nd hand, but a fisherman friend told me that a couple of days ago he was going over the Jamestown bridge and saw "a school of pogies 2 football fields long" heading north. I know they have been on the north end of Long Island for a couple of weeks now so it's possible. Anyway......it's time!! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

Maybe all that wind and weather had something to do with it.
