What's the over/under that it takes him 2 months to change the thread title?

Oops, error. Just tried to fix it but can't. Dark when you get a chance could you please change it to the correct year, thank you.

Some of you folks are just impossible to please.
Fixed it, less than 48 hour turnaround.

Headed out for my first trip of the year this AM, fished 1:30 - 10:00 AM.
Was great getting out, need to get back into shape for these trips.
Fished the Sound and ended up with the skunk. One hit and that was it.
Did find a small dead sand eel, otherwise it was dead out there.

The sound was good a week ago but smaller fish. Bigger fish out front right now. I would change location. Just my .02.
Great report as usual and great sunrise. good luck to you this year!

Fished the SS last night, first "official" trip of the open season.
Bucktailed a few runts. One bass close to keeper size. And one monstrous bluefish. I thought I had a bass because it was staying deep. Eventually realized it was a blue with the bull dogging and head shakes. They are here fellas you just have to work for them.

Nice first trip Rockhopper. I headed out on my second trip this AM and fished the back side from 3:00 to 9:00. Solid skunk. Didn't see any bait this trip either.
Had a good time, covered lots of water and had my Outlander on the sand for the first time. Handled the sand with ease......a little relief.
