i got a chance to go fishin with a pal that ive fished next to for years always in different boats well fri i got a chance to go with joe. we met up at 7 put my stuff in the boat joe dropped her in the water and we were off. we were going to start by the marina but we decided to head for the deep water ,we got out there dropped the rigs, we barely got around the first point and joe had the hookup. it was a day long slow pick at them ,we saw lots of schools but not too many feeding,it took me a little while to adjust to fishing deep without downriggers, but after a few adjustments it was on, i ended up with the big fish of the day and the bigger ones caught ,joe was a good sport putting up with me and all my joking. thats alright cause he's back out there today with his son wacking some more stripers,thank you joe for the ride and all the fun of fishing and all the striper taactics talk,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,T/O,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the dinks were not allowed in the tailgate shot per joe,,,,,,lol,,,,,,
