I have a report

I have fished a total of 6 times, the first couple of times was a skunk
I went out with Fishing Freak and ended up throwing up and couldn't even catch a Mackerel
The next time I went with Skippy and watched him land a 30 pounder me I got nothing
The next outing I caught a 24 inch striper And then the next outing a skunk

I'm just to busy with a new job and lost my drive to fish

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Earn the $$ when you can or the opportunity presents itself, plenty of time to fish when semi/fully retired. Weekdays are fun!

I get you out of your slump, lets go scupping/BSB fishing!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

listen to Phil, he knows
make the $ now while it's there, the fish will be around

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Bob I feel your pain, except I've fished a ton and caught little. Buried a 3/0 in my arm before I even wet a line one night, tore my leg up, every time fish were around I wasn't...it's how it goes. I love just being out there, trying like hell. So it's all good.

It's the summer doldrums. It's like the winter doldrums except you have a tan.

No boat, back in the suds.

Other than the Kids event at the club a couple of weeks ago and a Scout camping trip, I haven't been out for stripers in weeks. Squeezed in a couple of freshwater trips....but that is it.

Same deal Bob, Life had other plans and I've been super busy lately

Make hay while the sun shines.

How many years were you on the waiting list before getting the site at BSP?

It's been a down year for me as well. Had a few good days but it seems most of the time that I'm able to make the trip it's been "shoulda been here earlier in the week".

I'm heading to the salt for the first time in a month on Monday. It's tough being a dad. I've gotten better at fighting seals, plovers and sharks over the last ten years so you never know??Three days out there with the family. I get one 24 hour period the day after we get home to hit it hard where ever I want. Let the prayers begin!

seals + plovers =
