MY FIRST SURF STRIPER!!!!!

[quote user="esoxangler" post="6415"]great going on the stripers. Whats next on the list? Red drum?[/quote]

Ha! Phil - Well there was a thread a while back at the start of the season for "your fishing goals for the year" I went back and read mine below - looks like I can cross off #1, #2, and #3 (while i'd love a 30 incher, 17-18inch blue i'll take as decent).

#4 and #5 are next on the list...and if I can combine them with a nice Red Drum in the fall, well that would be a nice dream come true!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Catch my first striper from the Surf (started in the summer and i missed the fall run completely)

2) Catch my first LEGAL striper from the surf (logical progression from goal #1)

3) Catch my first decent sized bluefish (so far i've caught only snapper blues....)

4) Get down to OC/AI every chance I get

5) Take my father surf fishing (Hes a lazy fisherman, but I think he'd enjoy soaking bait and sitting around socializing) - I tried to get him into fly fishing, but that was too complicated for him!

Congrats, good stuff dude......if you weren't hooked already, you're definitely done now.....The thrill of that first really good sized fish from the surf is a feeling that won't go away, and will never be matched. Kinda like a junkie now huh?
