As I sit here in shorts in a tee-shirt, I regrettably am sending a message out to everyone that I knew was coming but was hoping we would have to hold off on doing THE INEVITABLE. So, Yesterday we had to do THE inevitable, which was pull Reel Class for the winter season. Our marina is getting new docks (finally!) and they shut off our power, fuel, and water, and our winter home is shutting down early this week so the decision was made for us!

We left the bass biting last week as well as some bluefish and the togs were also there for us too when we tried. Fishing this December, and fall for that matter was nothing short of spectacular! In terms of stripers, the sheer AMOUNT of fish we caught, as well as the size, both BIG fish (to 40#) and small fish bodes well for next year AND the future. The naysayers stating the stocks are in such bad shape have suddenly disappeared!

Whatever the case, we're going to resume sometime in April - if we have a warm winter the bass might be back waiting for us, otherwise we'll start with cod and bottom fish.

Have a GREAT Holiday Season - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of our friends!!!

We're going to leave you with some "highlight" pics from the 2015 season - enjoy them and get ready to see even more in 2016!

And finally, Thanks to EVERYONE that sailed with us in 2015 - the OLD friends and NEW friends that we've gotten to know so well!
