Bring white legger out on the boat with you. We are all rooting for you!!!!

JDF..After June of 2016 I am retired, or close to it, maybe work a day or two a week. That will allow me to pick times and places so much better.. I have a brother in Lyndhurst that I can stay at, and being able to fish when I want to instead of when I can will make a big difference.. I have an 18 foot Starcraft boat w a 100 hp, and 6 hp kicker, nice Garmin color FF etc. When I see 2 or 3 days of west winds and 2-3 ft seas, I probably won't need to hit a head boat.. I used to find tog on my own off of Deal/Elberon. Lots of them.
Right now I can only fish in NJ when I can juggle work, time, distance, and often when I do get out its a dead slow day on the boat I sail on.. Not always, but too often. I just can't "follow up" a bad day with a good one. "Tomorrows another day" doesn't apply in my case, "Tomorrow" might be 4 months down the road...
Well stick with it.. I have a lot of FW fishing up here, but its just not what I like. Always liked SW better, but the distance has really proven a major issue.
We'll go when we can for now, hopeful that next year allows me the time to start taking my own boat out at least a few times a year. ... bob
