Title: New Forumite
Post by: FrankStar on July 09, 2014, 09:23:03 AM
I'm Frank.  I'm intending to get back into fishing after a fairly lengthy absence.

  I used to fish the Ocean City 59th Street Pier (RIP) and my family would do a few charters every year.  I'm from Philadelphia, but have lived in various places overseas and around the country.    I moved back to Philly a few years ago.

I used to fish off the pier and surf with an 11-foot one piece custom rod that my uncle made from a Harnell blank with either a Penn 750 SS or a Daiwa 7000 reel.  My boat setup was a 5-foot one-piece with a Penn reel.  I think it was a Squidder.  Obviously, this was all in the '70s.  I went into the Air Force in 1982, and haven't had much fishing time since.

 Sadly, all my gear is long gone so I'll have to start from scratch.

I'm glad I found this place through a Google search and look forward to participating.

Quick question:  Does anyone know if there are any party (open) boats that operate out of Atlantic City other than the back-bay High Roller?  I'm not a driver, so I'd take the train.
