I hope all of you have had great holiday with your families. The fishing was great to nonexistent, depending on where you were. Long island has a ton of “death rats”, under 10 inch fish that usually signal that the end of the season is near. Not even a hundred miles away in NJ, the fishing was on fire during Thanksgiving weekend. This is a picture from Asbury Press, not sure if i’d participate BUT I am trilled that our NJ surfcasters had a BITE to tend too. They have had a rough seasons lately with a lot of gaps with no fish as they migrate, so I am happy to see a lot of guys catching on FB.
Today’s blog will be kind of info related today, well get back to Mexico stories and some new videos this week if possible. Just a note about the new Tsunami Shield reel. I wish people would chill the #**** out ……its a $100 reel. If it performs as half as good as their Airwave Elite rods I will be trilled. Its not designed to be a replacement for your VS, Torque or even Slammer. Its an entry level reel that is supposed to hopefully be better than anything in that price range…Thats it

Snag and drag line up? Not one bent rod. Been there for this and could not work a plug.
↓Had bunker like this on L.I. In Oct. Some guys snagged and dragged for one or two nice bass. I crushed them on buck tails and poppers but there was room for me to work.
Will try to get to the flea market, low on lots of stuff.
