Hi everyone. It has been a long time for me to hit the salt. With all my old aches and pains and not to go into any details here but It has been a rough few years. Right now the surf is not my friend so I am now allocated to fish from piers and the shore of the bay and rivers. That is okay so now I have to shift my thinking.
I have started to teach the next generation of fisherman, my grandson turned 6 so we had him out on the Toms River up by the park in South Toms River. We were targeting White Perch no luck but he did see and experienced the catching of a couple Striped Bass by someone about 20 feet from us. Pretty cool. Next time out (Wednesday) I will be bringing out my equipment and have him try to see if we can do the catching and not just the watching.
It is a NEW season and I hope to be posting a lot more. slt

Hi Rick. It felt good to be on the good side of a rod again. Lil and I will be watching our grandson tomorrow so it is time to get him out fishing again. We will be at the small park in South Toms River where they are still catching White Perch and small stripers.

Hey Paul,
Good to hear you are getting out.
I haven't fished salt since Blackfish Dec of 2019.
Did get out a few times for Trout during Covid.
Been doing a lot of RVing mostly out west, so no salt.
Heading out west again soon but with a two week stay in Gulf Shores AL and hope to hit the surf and pier a few times.

Good for you. Be safe on your travels. Lil and I bought a 26' Travel Trailer as well. But due to certain health issues we have not used it too much.
So I'm allocated to bank and pier fishing for now.
Good Luck in your travels.
