I like petty coat junction

hey tom, its going in tomorrows mail.

got it thanks am on my way to happy boating !

i am even thinking about making a trip to the atlantic princess when conditions
are 1 to 3 offshore just got to see how much fuel it will take .
think i may need about 25 more gallons of juice. for now i will be happy for a good fluke trip. i will keep you posted.:sun:

CTT, be happy. One of the dark secrets in my life is that I have always wanted to be an engineer. Not a mechanical one like I am, but a train one. I'd love to do long distance hauls...cross country would be the ultimate job for me... but alas, I'm too old and have no way of realizing that dream. So live large my man.. whether you know it or not, some of us are envious of you. :beer:

hey destroyer, its funny. as far as job titles go i cant think of a cooler more manly chick magnet job title than locomotive engineer. the reality of the job is its mundane and non-remarkable in every way. dont get me wrong, it beats the sh!t out of working for a living but basically a chimpanzee can do my job. i'm a horizontal elevator operator/ electric bus driver. please dont be envious, its a job. no more and no less, and i'm counting the days until i dont have to do it anymore. this is not railroading as it once was. its not even the same as it was when i started. the place gets worse every day. fact is, i should have listened to my parents when they told me to finish school.

Coincidentally I was out there yesterday with a friend out of Barnegat light on his boat (27' Albin)...man that is a haul...42 miles I think he had it at. Wed did get about 10 Tuna though.

hi mark
you never mentioned that this boat catches 9 lbs fluke.
what a first trip i had. think i better stop now!
maybe one day you are off work and if conditions permit lets try and catch some fluke


let me know.

Nice pic... Sorry all you were catching was the baby fluke.. but hey..at least you were fishing!!! :hide:








Great fish !!!! :clap:

hey tom, i thought i did mention that fact. unfortunately, i pulled in a 9.75 pounder 3 days after the season ended. dam near killed me to put it back. but yeah, she does pretty good.
enjoy.
