Bands: Were you using your usual 2 pound test when you got the 10 pound carp?
There was a second lightship called Scotland closer into the harbor. Back in the late 50s and early 60s the party boats would gather in the area come winter and anglers loaded up with ling and whiting. This all ended when the eastern European factory ships swept the bottoms clean. This type of fishing lead to the U.S. and other countries to declare 200 mile limits to stop the 'sweeping'. Unfortunately it was too little too late and that fishery has never recovered.
The old Ambrose Lightship is now open for tours at Pier 11 on the lower east side of Manhattan. It once marked the entrance to NY harbor.
I was impressed by their ads (which of course they wrote), their warranty and that they are completely made in the U.S. Reason I've yet to purchase is the max weight on the 7' spinning rod is 5/8 ounce. When they get to a full ounce I'll probably buy one. I only fish saltwater.
You were correct! A creep could have snatched her and been off with her in seconds.
He was upset because he realized the error of his ways.
Supposed to be nice and warm Monday Fred, maybe you can get back out. Nice fish. Stripers running crazy here now. Probably in the Sound soon if not there yet.

I was so proud when I got my Boy Scout knife! Been carrying a pocket knife ever since.
Good thoughts! Wear it with pride.
There once was and maybe still is a fraternal organization named the 'Royal Arcanum'. They sponsored a Little League team where I was raised.

Didn't know there were soft shell crawfish. That would make a good sub sandwich.
I've had soft shelled lobster! Excellent but I prefer the blue crab.
Sorry for your troubles. May he rest in peace.

How do the two big guys do? That was the match up that interested me.
Big guys fought each other well. Danny Hurley's other four players smoked Purdue's other four. Out coached Painter who is an excellent coach BTW as he couldn't stop UConn.
