I had the opportunity to go up to Long Island this week. Went out fishing with Dad and a family friend for the gamey Stripers. The last time I was up there we didn't catch shit - so I didn't have high hopes despite the fact that pop insisted that he had it dialed in... whatever. I was also informed that I shouldn't hold my breath because Florida fish can be caught by any moron... and that New York fish are, on average, 15X smarter than the ones that we have....
Anyway - Dad was right....he has a pretty cool program. Got out about 6pm or so and proceeded to get some run off's....
Dad won money for first, most, biggest. He ended up with a 37" and a 34". I got a 36". Dean (friend) got a small shark.
I miss being able to fish with my pop on a regular baisis.... this was really some well spent time.
