Picked up my 1st NewCo fish for 2010 last night - 27" from the rocks, fat little bugger and looked plenty healthy...
I'll post a pic as soon as I get my film back from the lab...
"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.
