The Beulahs are right on the money .... A switch in the surf .....i dunno ...a 10' nine or 10 wt like St Croix's Legend or Kenny A's custom surf rod must definetly. a spey rod from the beach or shore is more pratical...only difficulty is the line management of the running line...surf, beach or...

Definitely UPS your gear there. ITs a guaranty it will be there. The airlines now charge for baggage. and the bags don't always arrive on the same flight. Never lost anything just the hassle inconvenience and time of going back to the airport to pick up a missing bag or rod tube...it cost the...

SPOT Burner :holy: :crap:

This is the 1st am in 3 weeks i did not get up for the dawn patrol...the reason the catching has sucked. Very few fish...even the pluggers and jetty jocks are scratching their heads...it's just been to warm...these cooler nights with the strong westerlies should cool the inshore waters...

I caught 1 a few years back in late oct. Way upstream below the old weir in farmingdale on a rooster tail...it was only about 15-16" fought like hell...beautiful colors almost looked like a steelhead ...but it was a brown very bright almost silver like sides..no picture sorry... Only i ever saw...

West is best, low tides until the 1st 2 hours of incoming. Low tide concentrates the fish and bait reveals,cuts, drop offs, holes and points as where to fish. Less water concentrates the fish. :)

thank u all for your replies...what a f'en shame....too bad my little private stream has been invaded by progress...time to move on and search for new home waters.

Anyone know what they are going to do there. Parking lot is blocked off, heavy equipment there....along the river is marked off and boundaries and hay bales installed....to controll sediment runoff...hope they dont screw it up.

sporadic hatch of Hendricksons today started around 3

i have a 7' Fenwick Feralite 2 pc 5-6 wt. still fish it on occassions.

good advice - shannons. recommend practice fishing in some local park ponds or lesser fished streams, like spruce run creek, mulhockaway creek, the ravine creek north of califon, sunfish and pickerel and perch are a little more forgiving to the learning curve as you go...you learn line control...

yes they are good flies to use all mentioned ...in the last week and half have done well ...10 dronestone ...yellow black, 14 copper john, and a 16 black copper john, and some very nice browns to 17"...fishing 1 - 4 pm KLG....5x...sorry no pictures

I fished too ! Water a little higher than i cared for had 3 ldr. The wind kept putting a bow in my line. So my strikes were a little late, small caddis puppa 16 and heavy weighted stone. Went way upstream next tca..to dusk some some splashes, and flashes couldn't get tight. Water clear and 52...
