    My Joke

    (True story) Reporter is interviewing the oldest man in America Reporter: "what is it like to be the oldest man?" Man: "I will give you an example. I was talking to a financial planner, he was pushing me to invest in bonds. I said long term investments!, I don't even buy green bananas"
  2. I have always crushed by barbs,(after an unexpected trip to the emergency room), maybe I am setting too hard or maybe it is only because the only fish I have hooked so far are pretty small. I will chalk it up to the learning curve. Thanks to all for the tips.
  3. I just made the switch to non-mono line, and a conventional reel. Overall, I am very impressed. Further casting, better "feel" for the fish (kind of like sex without condoms, without all of the disadvantages of the STDs, AIDS and the dying and all). However I am losing fish becasue of the line going slack at times while I am bringing them in. I think this might be becasue of the lack of stretch of the synthetic line, or the relatively slow retrieve of the conventional reel (A.G 6500), or my mashed barbs?? Nobody seemed to mention this before I made the purchase, am I the only one to notice this? By the way, before the wiseguys say that it is becuase I suck, I really never had this problem before the gear change.
  4. I am feeling a bit henpecked, but perhaps I was rude to barge in without an introduction. I am from the Orient L.I. area and have fished there for the past 25 years. For the past 5 years, I have been living in the Boston area and have been struggling to find time to get away to explore the Canal and other nearby spots. As for the signature, a "yes" response to this often asked question will bring me more joy than any other (strange that another question used to seem more important .)
  5. Spent a good morning surfcasting into the gut from Orient point. One small blue, no stripers or tuniods. Very little going on yet. Should get interesting soon...
  6. That is an impressive demonstration of homophobia. How's the fishing?
