late report but been busy.
Buddy called me up earlier in the week and said we have to go get the ling. thought about it and decided to play hookie from work. left the house at four and get down to pt pleasent only to find the boat was basically shoulder to shoulder with fisherman an hour before starting time, no thanks. drove back up to highlands and decided to change things up a bit and go flukin. no fluke to show in the bucket but i did manage nine shorts...two at 17.25 and two at 17...yes the guys were making fun of me on the boat. great weather in raritan bay and met a nice fisherman who was giving me some pointers on some things i was doing wrong or could improve on, and I was appreciative of it to say the least. started increasing my hookups after his little suggestion. always nice to have an older gentlemen show a (little) younger guy some tips and tricks.
