Hi Jim,

Great!!! Thank you.

Help me out. I might even need a pic. What are custom rod riggers?

My guess would be rod holders?

Possum

Neil, these are often used for slow trolling various baits for any fish that'll take that bait. It allows you to get your line out away from the boat more at a near right angle. Stripers are commonly targeted with the T&W like this, aloing with multitudes of others that hit the troll.

Hi guys,

Well the fluke season is over in NY waters as of today. Man, that stinks! I can remember fluking in the middle of Novenber out in the ocean when the Fall was very warm.

The fish I love to chase the most! What will next seaason be like? I don't know if Heaven knows. Rest assured fellows, we are in the fight of our lives to keep our right to fluke. Don't rest on this issue and say I'll let others do the work. This is a Fererak Issue and affects all of us along the East Coast that have a fluke fishery.
