Shadlife
So many of these around before the rain. I looked at the water last night, it was in great shape at high tide. Stripers should be on the move!

Explore the Delware / Tuning in the new boat.
This is the newest addition to the fleet. I am pretty excited about because it is a pretty versatile boat. It is stable enough to take down some mild whitewater but also moves pretty well with a small motor on it. I think a lot of fishing will get done on this boat!
It looked like a lot more color in person.
We need rain!

The Autumn Blues...
It has not been the best bluefish year. I did not put too much time and effort into bluefishing this year as a result, but I do love seeing one once in a while. There are no other fish like them.

Lots of Little Ones...
There are lots of small bass around. Everywhere I stop seems to be crawling with little baby bass. It is a great sign for the future but I am looking forward to hanging a few nicer sized fish.

Saltwater Spey ShadLife
I got into a bunch of Hickory Shad the other day. I think they are a pretty fish. There are tons and tons of bait around and I am certain there were a few stripers in the mix but it was all Hickories for me. If I am fishing from the bank there is a really good chance I am throwing my Salterwater Spey... its pretty awesome.

Quarantine Restoration
2020 has been a crazy year. All of my plans sort of went haywire. Quarantine seemed like a perfect time to restore the old Whaler. I have been meaning to "put in the work" for a number of years but somehow was always too busy. When sanding her down for a new prime and paint I noticed that the anchor punched a hole in the fibreglass within the anchor box. Both sides of the stern had cracks in the glass that looked like they were letting water in. I probably could have just patched up the problem areas but that is not how I do things. I love this boat so I did it right. I cut holes in the glass and removed all of the wet foam. Reformed and patched the glass. I primed and painted her that good ol' Boston Whaler Blue. It is far from a new boat, but for a 1966, she ain't looking bad.
