Cool

Hey Kadir, good to see you too.

I should have brought the rampage, but in the rush to pack it didn't occur to me to bring it. It would have been ideal for this trip.

Initially, the problem with the tangles with the guys who are on the other side of the boat (yes, lines drifting UNDER the boat) ... is that they didn't figure out that yielding some slack would be the quickest way to clear tangles. (That, and a lot of the fares didn't speak English as a first language). But, after a few tips from the mate, all I had to do was yell "Slack on the starboard side!" and it was much easier and quicker to untangle.

Sorry your jig was stolen. Hans had to drive us back most of the way. Apparently I was muttering in my sleep and Hans punched me in the ribs to shut me up on the way home.

Yeah, I hear you on the language barrier but they also had no clue that they needed 21oz. and not 16...plus all the boozing before the trip and the ride out probably didn't help matters.

To add insult to injury (literally) a CT State Trooper ticketed my buddy (who didn't fish at all because of being sick) for going 72 in a 65 . Talk about a bad trip for someone! I guess the trooper needed to make numbers for months end. Poor guy, he volunteered to drive since he slept more than anyone else and got a ticket for his good deed.

What a trip huh?

Ah, that sucks Kadir. Those NY state license plates are like neon signs in the congestion state. You guys were nuts to drive all the way back to LI after that trip! Glad you made it home safe.

p.s. I didn't lose a single jig that trip ... but all my teasers were destroyed by those toothy cod. Note to self: Have at least a dozen teasers tied for long trips.

Yeah, it sucks but what are you going to do...the cops says, "you can either plead guilty and send it in or come back and fight it..." with a grin on his face...J#$& #FF!

You should have asked me, I had so many different teasers to choose from....
