Nothing wrong with that! Looks like the sun was pretty bright that day.

That's a good spread you got there.

[Alto Mare]

Very nice! Was this today?
How did you get that bunker, did you snag them one at a time?

[Alto Mare]

You could probably walk to shore and never go knee - deep. Looks like things are moving early this year.

So which one is you?

All the years I spent fishing there were the same ones when stripers were being called "commercially extinct".

I fished from Montauk to Cape May, even had my car stolen in sheepshead bay while I was out catching bluefish. I've never even seen a striped bass,  except for the ones that swim in the Florida springs.

Thanks for sharing!

Richie on the Marilyn Jean is one of the best SB fishermen here. Ruben don't tell him I said that. He is also very good catching Black Fish.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe someday...

I have places to stay if I can get back to NY, but have bounced from "no money" to "no time or money" for years now.

I used to fish on a party boat that fished the Sandy Hook area. I don't recall the boat, or the captain's name. It was an old PT boat hull (plywood, of course), that he bought after WWII, installed a single diesel and concrete decks, and went fishing. I recall being told by one of the old timers that it was the first boat in the NY/NJ area to fish exclusively with jigs. I loved cranking those ava jigs; I still have a stash of them. My favorite lure ever.

One dream may finally be fulfilled a week from tomorrow: I'm going to fish for Chinook salmon next week. That's been a dream of mine since I was 19. I'll be 58 on sunday. I fly to Portland, OR the next morning for some corporate training. I managed to finagle an extra day in Oregon on the 20th. I've got a seat on a guide's boat to fish the Columbia river. 

Wish me luck; there's not too many second chances in life.

The boat that I was refering to is a 6 man boat. No crowds

Felix is a good guy. Capt. Richie will teach him the proper way to work deck. Tell him Mike from the Galley said Hi
