I live less than ten miles from the river.  Where do you fish for Stripers?

I do own a fresh water pole and only really use when I go up to Maine.  I did catch an at least 4 lb large mouth bass on it, but since no one was with me, nobody believes me  

I do wish I can go deep sea fishing more often.  I'm not in Matt's boat where I "chum" all day   and just love being out in the open ocean.  One time, it was me, my father, his friend and his son, about 28 miles off the coast of Atlantic City.  We didn't catch much that day but being so far out was cool.  We did see a huge sunfish though.

Another time, same group, not as far out.  We hit a school of blues and were reeling in fish after fish.  I swear, we must have caught 200 fish that (which might be an exaggeration due to my then teenage mind, but it was quite alot of fish).  It was getting to the point where, if we caught a small fish, we'd leave it on the line and throw it back in as "bait" for larger fish.  A pretty cool day  

I've had this happen too.  You run into a school of bluefish, and they're just in a feeding frenzy.  I pulled at least 13 blues out myself one time, and one was the pool winning fish of the trip.  I think that one was around 8 or 9 pounds.  And this was early in the season.  They get even bigger come October, usually about 20 pounds or so.  

Bluefish are such a good fighting fish, but they're terrible for eating.  They're really oily, and there's only a few good ways to prepare them.  If you want a good eating deepsea fish go for stripers, fluke, or flounder.  At least in the northeast, that is.

Well, I'm gonna try scoring the last action fleet wave in Chicago this coming weekend.  That's right up there on my list.

I've gotten Plo Koon's cloak off.  Saesee Tiin's is a little stubborn though.

Put a softgoods cloak on the Mace from the Council Scene...NICE!  It's a little snug in the sleeves, but he can sit okay in it.

Also, I bought a slew of Episode I Yoda's when they were on clearance.  Mainly for the chairs.  I took off Even Piell's outer cloak, and the Yoda chair is perfect for him.

Oppo Rancisis is the toughest to get a cool pose going.  His tail isn't quite as flexible as I would've thought.  But, if you can pose it properly, it looks best wrapped around the base of the chair.  I only wish they'd made his head and torso a little bigger.  He seems a little too small there.

Next, the holo-projector in the Jedi Council...you can't tell who it is.  It's just a robed figure.  In fact, it's almost like a mini-mini version of the holographic Darth Sidious that came with Lott Dod and Count Dooku.

I want to see how well the Red Sox can handle the A's and Seattle's pitching in August.  That's gonna be the test to see if they can hang with the big boys in October.

Heard the same.  I'm curious to see how they do Zep, especially Jonesy, since he was one of my main influences in learning to play bass.
