Entry Description
Early morning hunting for striped bass during the early part of the fall run in New Jersey. We had just left Barnegat Inlet and a friend snapped this photo. Life is good! “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after” - HD Thoreau
Favorite Feature
In the bay, inshore or offshore, my Open 302 is the ideal fishing platform which doubles as a great sandbar boat, and evening dinner cruise boat, too
