    Just finished putting new braid on my light-medium spinning reel. Hoping I can get out in the next few days to throw some crocs/spoons, spinners, and lures for trout at the local reservoir. It is the perfect time of year here in NY and it is literally 5 miles from my house.

    Some specks from the last casts, late August in the brackish down Louisiana

    They stock some big ones in fall in nj. Waiting for the streams to swell up a bit.
    Picked up this nj salmon last winter. First and only one i ever caught. Plan on trying again.

    Lakes only. So not what traditionally comes to mind thinking of salmon.
    Still darn cool!

    Finally got my pole fixed and hit the jettys in Long Beach Sunday.  Wind was blowing hard in so I couldn't cast as far as I normally do.  Pulled a few Shorts but I enjoyed the action.
    Back out there later today.

    EDIT: Duh, they were stripers.

    I've been trying a few quick trips in some lakes by me. No luck catching anything yet.

    And a short striper is still a big fish. 

    Nice job.
    this spot is pure magic on a cold early morning. The fish rarely cooperate.

    I will.  The shorts are 16" fish so for a striper that's nothing, but will nonetheless!

    Stripers in NJ are hot at the moment. So I have heard. I have friends down there that love it. I am not a big saltwater ot boat guy. Freshwaters are super low at the moment here in westchester NY. Went out Saturday. Hiked 5 miles, lost three expensive lures, my braid tangled, caught a small perch, and went home. Still a good day out!

    Some great reads there. Some people chase the blitzes for years and never see them. I used to surf cast and fly fish Montauk from the north and south side rocks until it became a total shit show. Mid 90s until 2003 or so. One of my all time favorite fishing memories is fly casting to a blitz on the south side. The bass and bait were literally at my feet. And even though they are blitzing, they can be VERY picky. But landing a 25 pounder on fly rod, while standing on a rock with korkers duct taped to my boot waders is one of my greatest fishing memories.

    F..king hot!!
    I was in a small boat off pier by seaside heights nj looking at the Jet Star roller coaster. The bunker were thick and their pin-like dorsal fins poking out of the water as far as I could see. The stripers were nowhere to be found at that moment. I'd assume they would be feasting at any moment. Super cool to see. The ocean is amazing.
