Before I get into the highlight of my night...
Headed out for the TRUE first trip of the 2010 season on the Gimper. Was going to try a spot in the Squan River that I have fished before at night for stripers, but the fog rolled into dodge in full force and for fear of getting hit at my spot, i choose to just drift and anchor around the river. chummed a bit, had clams out and tried all the metal I had in my bag. no go. Saw some blues caught and read some good bait around the area but no stripers. Would have loved my spot, but I thought it better be safe the sorry.
Now, on the exciting part.... I actually got boarded lol, by a trooper in the river. I guess i have a sticker that says PICK STUPID
Out of 8 boats around i said hello and he picked me
. But i have everything in order so he actually stopped what he was doing and asked if he could fish with me
. If he had caught something I would have been super pissed. Hope everyones night was more productive then mine. At least the boat ran clean for the first trip, lights all work, go the vhf radio working. just have to work on the horn.
