Hey Duffman - this HAT's for U !!

[hartattack]

Got out with Jeff & son this morning on the Grateful Dad. Game plan was to stay in the back of Raritan Bay where there was decent action this week. Optimism was abundant as we saw 3 party boats and a small fleet in the usually empty Triangle. Optimism quickly turned to reality as the drift was slow and the bites even slower. We did manage to put three keepers in the box though I even got one on my tie-dyed bucktail

It's amazing that everytime I'm out on the water I see fishermen I've befriended from this gr8 site. Saw Doc Skollmann waving to us from the pulpit of one of the nearby head boats. Met Johnny Bucktails and Dad back at the Marina and got to ogle their amazing new ride. It looks like it's flying even when moored

And finally I got a chance to break out my Independence Day Hat again so that Duffman can get a good laff I love this pastime and I'm grateful to have made so many friends from this site.
