There is a gentleman who fished the backside of Fisher's Island that had documented 55 fish over fifty pounds fishing commercially from that area over a long period of years. I knew his name once but age fogs my mind and I cannot recall it right now.

Why even try.........

He still does.He and his wife took 6 fish over 50 from one hole a couple years ago,in a week.I managed a 42.I have no qualms saying RayJ's WIFE,is a better fisherman than most. |

It is his girlfriend, not wife. And she's having another great year.
I have been told no one has caught as many striped bass than RayJ. I have also been told Ray is the guy who started using scup instead of pogy. The Raider can put up fish.

I think we're talking about the same guy, Flap - but I seem to be suffering from early-onset Oldtimers Disease, too.
I dunno, then again, maybe it's not all that early for me... |
"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.
