Two more months...

Back then St. Patty's day was the unofficial start to the Flounder season, so we would run out to the Hampton's, go to Oscars rent the skiff, have him put on the 18 hp which he would only rent to me, (that's a long story) then head out to Heady Creek for those nice big fat Flounders. Sometimes getting past the Shinnecock Inlet was a problem. There were too many times I had to pull the boat into the creek due to the tide, but once we anchored, tied on our spreaders, put on the blood worms and chummed with corn, it was 2-3 hours of pure fun, until the tide changed.

My best day at Dale'sPoint at the bay side of the PtPleasant canal was an 80degree day in March. 15 pounds of flounder fillets. I miss those days in the tin boat.

The azaleas are starting to bloom here, soon Phatdaddy will post up a spanish mackeral report and it will be officially spring.

I plan to be ready to fish by mid April........
1. Raritan Bay stripers
2. Ocean bunker stripers
3. Gator blues
4. Fluke, fluke and more fluke
5. Seabass, ling, tog, maybe a cod, whatever
6. Back to stripers

That's my typical season.

You forgot to add Steelhead Trout and Salmon from Lake Ontario. Nothing better than Salmon and Steelhead steaks on the grill.
