Gotta love the Block!

Thanks and hello to all of you, it's been a while!

Shawsee, it was my second time there, so I'm not realy sure if the spot we fished is called the "peanut". About a month ago, my son Bryan and I fished the area at night for the first time ever! NBS.
All we got were bluefish bite offs. I don't know about you Vee, but mine rocks while drifting...a bite more than I'd like to admit, I don't know if its because of the T-top or what. All I know is that there's no way in heck I would be there last Sat with my Vee, the little boat (20's) I refer to was like a little cork all over those huge waves, those guys bounced like crazy, but their boat rocked much less tht my Vee does.

Can't wait to get a chance to go there again, fish for black sea bass during the day and stay well into the dark for the cow bass...on my Vee that is.
