I swear this place is the biggest shithole on earth with people crammed in 60 story buildings wall to wall in what can only be described as giant human dumpsters!

And after dealing with traffic like this....

I also had a score to settle....ya see, the last time I was home,I took a buddy down here and while he caught a fair number of fish I hooked a couple of pigs ,but never boated a damn thing. There was one fish in particular that I was after....a fatty had broke me off just below the interstate bridge and made off with my wiggle minnow! We put in around 7:00 AM and it was a bit slow at first....me drawing first blood with this beast!.....

A fine bit of fishing. Good report! Glad you got out of the shitter and got redemption. /'/

I knew you were putting me in all the wrong places.  Yea Jeff, go fish that mud flat, there should be plenty of smallies there...hahaha.  I'm happy you caught the one that broke you off last time, but now I am itching to get back and give it another shot!  We must have picked the wrong day or my fishing juju was off that day.   

Awesome report, those are some nice smallies and redeyes. 
Yup, going fishing

WRector

Good fishing and excellent report there OB!

I like NY in small doses every couple of years, but I for damn sure couldn't drive there.
There's a big difference between a dry fly dancing through
a riffle and a weighted fur ball dragging on the bottom.

Don had been "off line" for a while....his fancy internet readin machine had taken a dump...but he's back up and running...hopefully he'll add his two cents worth tonight.

Good stuff.  I felt the pain of NYC traffic for the first time driving to a wedding in Long Island last month...never again, unless the word striper is involved.

River stage and weather conditions were tolerable fer this time of year down here.
