Sadly, Jeff Chobot, the original winner of these sweet Guppy’s puppies never contacted us within 5 days as our rules state. So we will give you a chance to win these Great looking pencil poppers from Guppy Lures again..cause that is how we roll at SJ……but there is a catch this time…lets avoid mindless “I am in” entries, instead just tell us what was your favorite part/story,/picture of this issue of SJ and we will pick a random winner tomorrow..no sense in waiting, either you are in or out…and every guy that posts “I am in” will be disqualified immediately and will receive ten lashes on his buttocks with a wet noodle. Capish….?

Good morning. I loved Mark Mead’s photo essay on his family summers in Montauk during the early 1940s and throughout the 1950s.
↓i most liked your account of the trip to Costa Rica..i can dream from my computer…maybe someday…frank
↓I finally got to understand Alberto’s knot.
↓Thanks for the video.
I liked the whole journal. Z and the SCJ crew you guys do an amazing job and I want to thank you for that. Now my favorite section was on pages 83-90 “The road to Montauk circa 1942” by Mark Mead. This was a great read and very enjoyable. I love nostalga. I am 29 and really enjoy hearing about and seeing pictures of places that I enjoy today. It makes me truly appreciate the beauty of M. and all the ritch fishing heritage.

↓It’s really tough to say. I love the interviews with plug builder, bag manufacturers and the people involved with our sport and share our addiction (Steve from AOK, Charlie from Choopy Lures, Tom from Commando Surfcasting) or the how to articles like how to put together a emergency pac for yuor rods or how to replace guides on the fly.
↓BUT the one that keeps me coming back to re-read over and over that really hit home was in the 7th issue “Last Man Standing” by Richard Troxler.

↓I like all of the articles and photos, but the one that really makes me stare every time is the ad for Cuttyhunk Fishing Club. I believe it’s because there is always something new to see and imagine o earlier times. The whole ad speaks volumes.

↓Road to montauk! Thanks I’m in
↓Its hard to pick a favorite, especially this issue, its a lot to soak in and makes a brutal commute much more bearable, thanks! I like how there’s a great mix of everything, you hit a lot of different facets of surf fishing with these issues and that’s why I love what you folks do.
I wouldn’t call it a favorite but I can’t get enough of the squid article and I loved the face my wife made when I pointed it out. I really liked the nostalgia with the Montauk article, that what great. I guess I’d call that the favorite if I had to get nailed down, I find I like to reach for the historical stuff when its time to park it by the fire with a beer.
It’s all good, and many thanks for bringing it all together!
