does pier count

TT^
Yeah. Basically Boats are out, meaning anything that holds you above water while fishing t^

Way to go Rod... Thanks, I will have to get off my butt and get out there more. My problem I still need a second person to help with some chores it takes to make these simple trips work for me. The old new hips are still recouping. But I am going to give it that good 'ole college try.
Thanks again.

Not only do I get to look forward the the thrill of landing a good fluke but my own personalized NJSWF tee too?!?! I better get crackin'!
-
extended to 7/29 TT^

Does brian's fish on sunday count???
-
I don't know. But Since we are here to win shirts in all different types of contest. I would go with no, it shouldn't be entered. since it already won a shirt. Leaving this open for someone else to Win also.
Just my opinion and open for discusion if anyone wishes TT^
-
Rod,
Just an FYI. I have a 'pool' on my boat. First KEEPER fluke get a buck a man. Largest KEEPER fluke get 5 bucks a man. You can win both. I would vote to let Brian's fish be entered. Someone can catch a larger one and win. If not, then Brian, I my opinion, deserves both wins.
Like I said, just my opinion.

Does not matter to me if his fish counts or not. But he did already win a Sweet shirt. And overcoming an 8 LB fluke off the surf isnt an easy thing. But is this for the biggest fish in Length ??? or in weight? Because i am pretty sure i saw the Longest fish up in the first post of this forum. Anyway, im excited either way. These shirts are awesome, thanks everyone that is taking care of making these shirts.. appreciate it very much.

PS. I look forward to logging on this site after work. Ever since ive been on here and doing more fishing, i've stopped my gambling, which was a very BAD habit. Thanks all.

Hi fishon42,
Way to go I would rather spend that money of fishing stuff any day. This site like Rod mentioned in another forum is home. So kick your shoes off grab a cold beverage and snuggle up to a nice warm computer and chat, ask questions, discuss strategies and above all have fun catching fish.
Good Catching

How long was your Fish? I forget. If you want to enter it you may. I'll leave it up to you t^
You'll have 2 shirts right, Since you bought one TT^

27 inches ... Its up to you guys
-
lets catch some fish boys ;D
-
I'm trying, I'm trying. Tell it to the fish... >:D
I guess I will have to just target fluke but its hard when you see pods of bunker and you know the bass are around somewhere.
As it is now I have three poles working at a time and 1 just for plugging. This last time out I was worried because my wife and daughter took of and left me to watch all the poles myself. :P I know I could do it but I hate it when they do that. :(
At least on a boat you have a captive crew; on the beach my crew seem to wander off from time to time. :P
Happy Catching

HotRod, I cant have this in the Contest, I totally forgot it needed to have a ruler next to it with a dollar bill also. And i came home last night and filleted it up. Greattttt. :-\ A little late now i guess
It was 22 7/8 inches though, can you make a rough estimated guess by looking at the picture to tell if im lying? Maybe we can call Alex's bait and tackle. LOL!

Nice pick up.
How are the flies up your way. They are killing us down here. I have changed to going at night or at least at dusk when they subside a little. :-X

nice fish, that looks abour right, the weight should also be around 5 lbs if your measurment is accurate.
-
Well i measured it as soon as I caught the fish only because I was curious to how long it was, I knew it was above the limit size. However it said 22 7/8" just under 23". I then walked across the Inlet road and weighed it on there outside scale they have there and the reading was just over 4 lbs maybe 4 lbs 2 oz's. It seemed heavier and I can agree with you thinking it weighed 5 lbs i think there scale was wrong. If I'm not mistaken briijones caught a 26 inch fluke that weighed 8 lbs, mine was nearly 23 inches and only 4 lbs, maybe it was a thin fish i had, who knows, LOL.
I cant be in this contest right Rod ?

This year I guess is a trial and error for me and my new hips. It seems like when I go out I feel better if someone goes with me usually my wife or daughter so I find my self as bait boy. Thats OK I love just being able to be out there once again. Wait till next year when all my gear is up to snuff. Kick But Time... TT^
Happy Catching
