.
Should be a most excellent time, SFB, Lumpy, and myself in so far. Free camping, good fishing, good people, and good food, it doesn't get much better.

Just finished the annual FL trip with my dad and brother. The old man landed a 22# redfish. His biggest fish ever, not bad at 75.

Hallowed weenies weekend was all time. The Fonts gave up the goods like usual. Only regret was buying the Friday license thinking Sunday would be rain. Ended up drinking Friday and Sunday dawned beautiful. Thought about on lining a license but the weekend of dirty dishes and trailer disarray was calling me.
Two Slate laps while moseying made for a fantastic way to end the camping season.

Beautiful weather this weekend, felt like mid October should. Striper bite is finally starting to heat around these parts. Fish are still a bit north, hopefully they move in within the next 2 weeks or so. There's tons of bait in the water, just waiting for this powder keg to go off.
Got my dad back on the fly, it's a bit tough to find productive spots on the fly off land in mid NJ. We were pretty spoiled when we used to vacation up at the Cape years and years ago.
This spot definitely didn't feel like dirty Jerz.

Roll casts into the wind were a bit tricky, but the rip is only a couple feet off the bank.
Don't slip

We hammered schoolie stripers and the occasional shad the night before, every other cast for about an hour at dusk. No time for pictures! But striper thumb is always a good reminder.
Fat char, nice!!!
Wanna vote sum more?
Ya can cast one for my pops Robert D
Denny ( fip)and emmet are solid peeps too

Two gin and tonics in at camp couldnt take the fish rising

Holee shit!!! Well done
Looks like a great year!
Thinking about making a trip up to your new happy place on Saturday if any of you utah guys wanna head up there. Maybe just a day trip, maybe overnight, not sure yet.
You done well!
Don't you have a drifty now D? There are some monsters in there my 12 yo broke one off at the boat that was 24 ++ and he can't cast a bubble more than 10 feet. I might be down for a day trip or a two dayer depending on how cold it is. Do you still have my #?
Fyi.... don't overlook that river the you cross over to get to this place. Fukna!
Hmm...
Yup, I'll be dragging the boat up there. I think my boat is full but it would be cool to have a party float. I've had a few first hand encounters with the mutants that live there, there must be something in the water. I still got your digits, I'll check in with you and lee towards the end of the week. The weekend weather is looking chilly but above freezing at least.
That is awesome. This is coming together nicely.
Maybe I can catch another whitey with a streamer!
Attachment 192673
well shit! it's turning into a party. It's looking like Saturday is the day for me. Probably shoot to be up there around 10 or so.
I'm still waiting for my wife to figure out the wknd with the kids. It should come together but not 100%. Would be a hoot!
Teleee - that's a once in a lifetime hook up right there. I feel privileged to have witnessed such a milestone event.
This is starting to look like a thing. I'm going to try to rustle up a partner but if I don't there will be a open spot on the fishcat. Anybody alert the SFB?
Odds of me making it are trending downhill. Both kids woke up with what seems to be the beginning of the latest plague hitting school. My window anyway was gonna be possibly fri night or head to early sat and be back sat night. Still a chance tho if my kids shake the crud. If they don't I should prolly fish close to home and help my wife.
Was coming down with one other guy.
Btw - got a report from a buddy who was down on Monday and Tuesday. Lower was better and much less crowded.
got your text
im in the i spent veterans day back in chitown
cleaning caulking and painting my mo in laws windows
instead of fishing
havent asked yet but probable for sat situation
