  1. Day 4: I couldn’t be more certain that the fish are plotting against me, I just know it this time. It’s as if every time I think I’m a set ahead of them, they change their course all together. It doesn’t matter if I’m using a Tsunami Salt X and Dark Matter “John Skinner” Series surf rod, and loading my Tsunami Talkin poppers perfectly, or using a Van Staal on a Lamiglas GSB1321M Old School. They just don’t want what I’m offering. Cast after cast, book after book, YouTube video after YouTube video, something has to give, I need to beat these fish at their own game. Maybe it’s time I try something new, like a dark matter pencil popper? Who knows anymore. Anyways, enough ranting. It’s beer o’clock. Today’s lesson/tip of the day: You never lose when there’s beer in the fridge.
  2. Day 3: As I stood on the shoreline slinging my Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow (floating of course), I observed the changing of tides before my own eyes. A phenomenon that happens approximately four times a day. During this change in the water’s behavior, I also witnessed the arrival of adult menhaden (bunker) in to the area in which I was fishing. Right when everything went silent, as if the world had stopped all together, my Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow (floating) stopped dead in its tracks and before I had time to comprehend the opposition at the end of my line, I was losing line and unable to regain control of the situation. I was able to recover 30 yards of line and saw the stripes of a true behemoth in the reflection of the moonlight. This behemoth used the current to its advantage and subsequently dislodged the hooks of my Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow by shaking her head and using the current to her advantage. That’s all she wrote. Where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from, stripey lined Joe? Today’s lesson/tip of the day: You win some, you lose some.
  3. Women became obsolete in 1886 smh why is this even a thing
  4. Infinity’s suck. My wife had one and its engine blew at 70k miles as well as a laundry list of issues along the way.
  5. I am not allowed to speak about the details of the dark and stinky matter series.
  6. Day two: I woke up bright and early so that I could be the first person in line for a Wawa breakfast sandwich (sausage, egg and cheese of course). After securing my breakfast, I high tailed it to one of my favorite inlets on the east coast in hopes to go toe to toe with a trophy striped bass. I made my usual rounds with no avail, but as I was leaving I said to myself: “one more cast, what the hell”, and was greeted with my ice breaker fish of the season which was a healthy striper! I think that today was a benchmark in my fishing career and proved to me that I don’t just talk a big game, and I am just as capable of slamming cows as some of the greats. Lesson/tip of the day: Always believe in yourself.
  7. Are we just gonna pretend that she wasn’t cleaning his gutters?
  8. I’m back and better than ever, baby!
  9. VSX. The VSX2 has some problems that have been reported exclusively in the 200 series.
  10. 200 without any hesitation. I’d say get the previous gen 200 as well. Absolute workhorse.
  11. Yeah man, I know of some dudes who are absolutely sick nasty with a trolling rod
  12. The saying is “boat fish don’t count”, not “boat stripers don’t count”
  13. Actually guys, believe it or not, he’s on to something. I’ve found that I’ve had ZERO knot failures as well as an increase in hookup ratio since oiling my braid with a light spraying of WD40 and reducing my braid to terminal knots from double loop to single loop (just like a regular clinch knot with mono). I do not plan on ever going back to the old way of doing things.
  14. Day 1: I pondered life as I sat on the shoreline reading my favorite John Skinner novel, and awaited surface action to indicate the presence of juvenile menhaden (also known as peanut bunker). I casted my plug along the outside of the school and worked it back towards me about three times before determining that there were no feeding striped bass just below this school of juvenile menhaden. Until next time. Today’s lesson/tip of the day: never go fishing without your favorite novel. Will update tomorrow.
