From Jason:
My hands are a mess. I took another 4/0 VMC in the hand past the barb. Removed it and fished the rest of the night. Had 20 fish in 3 hours. I was so tired at the end that it felt like the rock I was on was moving.”

I was in Montauk for five days last week and all I saw was blues.I must admit I only fished at dawn and dusk and not through the night.
What’s that about work and a bad day fishing?
I was out there a month ago and all I saw was my broken tackle. Still a good day fishing though.
I have put a few hooks in my hands and fingers. It’s amazing what we will live with just so we can keep on fishing.
It’s awesome when you get a day of fishing that wears you out so much. I get like that a lot when we go chain pickerel fishing. They can be so active at times you can hardly make a cast that hits the water before they already smack it.
I have never caught striper here but I am planning to get into some next season. I also want to get a few musky as well. Then I am sure I will really know what exhaustion is.
