Another Great Fishing Season is in the Books,,,
And I Am Allready Looking Forward to 2004....

The Spring Striper Season Started Slown Around
SouthJersey Due To The Previous Winters Chill...
But By April Bass Started Hitting Jigs & Plugs..
May Greated Us,and I had one of my Better Years
Fishing for Big Weakfish Catching over a Dozen
TideRunners thru-out the Spring...
The Summer was well, Summer,Nothing That Great
But I Did Catch My First Banded RudderFish,this
little torpedo kept me busy for weeks.... :D
The Fall Brought Great Expectations and it Lived
Up To It...Lousy and Cold Conditions Did Not Keep
Us From Getting Some of the Biggest Stripers on
a Consistent Basis in a long time in our area...
I alos Caught My First Striper's of a Kayak-
Thanks Bruce......

Here are Some Candid Shots Taken During the Year,
I look forward to maybe bringing more Pictures

Thanks for a great "column", and for all the helpfull hints throughout the year.

Right back at you smile.gif

[Got Bass?]

Thanks for the reports and to the people who make this site possible.My fishing skills and success have greatly improved by reading it.

[Ardmore Bill]

The first and only thread to read, two three and four times a day - sorry, had to do it :D .

It would be hard to imagine what my fishing adventures would be like without first checking in on the Cape/Atlantic Reports to see if the fish are hitting. For me, the report is akin to a group of good friends that fan out in a area to better cover it and to find the fish. When one does he signals to rest. "Cast over here, there biting on this, the retrieve is this," he says as he puts you on the fish too.

Thanks Night for keeping up with it and to all the rest who keep the information flowing - it truely is a cooperative effort.

Now, get some rest, Spring is only two months away by my reckoning. ;)

[Casting disaster]

Nightstrikes - thanks for all your effort on and off this forum. Have fun on your 2 months "off". Rich

[the bagman]

Strikes,
Enjoyed being part of the forum and many thanks for the info parted from you and others. Many a morning with the eyes burning like two piss holes in the snow I was making my contribution to the board. Again have a good one and will be part of it again in the spring. Come on March 1, 2004.

[YoungGun24]

Your the man Steve. Thanks for keeping such a great thread for us to post our fishing adventures on. See you in the spring.

[Far26]

Thanks Steve, we all know you put a lot into your C/A Reports. Reading the reports helps get me by when I can't get out on the water.
I'll be freshwater fishing until the action picks back up in the springtime. Already looking forward to next year!

[Bgsdad]

Steve, You are the one to thank! I've had the pleasure of fishing with you almost weekly and I understand how much the CAR means to you and how dedicated you are to the thread. It is obvious that your intentions for starting this thread was not to brag about your own fishing ability but to provide a forum so everyone could gain and give knowledge. I also know how frustrated you were at times when the boys get a little restless. You always did your best to remain focused and kept the thread going.

I also want to thank you for the friends I have made thru this thread. There were many hours spent on the sods, the yak and bridges with you and them which made me look forward to the lack of sleep!

I can't wait to 3/1/04 to start it all up again!

[Bgsdad]

Far, Glad to see you're back!

Thanks for the firum, Ive come used to relying on it for fishing reports and weather...keep up the good work..... :D

[Dr. Bass]

Still hearing of some good action, mostly during the day. Had one on tonight, lost. Way too windy. Good smoke at least :D

[Stalker Charters]

Thanks, it is a great furom, especially when I check it around this time of night and I see the good reports from the night before.

Even if I was in for the night, it usually changes my mind, and I go out and try all the late night spots for a while.

Even when I have to get up in a few hours.

Everyone's report on here really helps out.

Thanks

[Dr. Bass]

That's what it's all about smile.gif

[BBunker]

Even though I don't do alot of land based fishin, I always check out C/AR. Steve, you do a terrific job keeping us "boaters" updated . To all who contribute to this section, I say "THANK YOU"!

Personally, the times I "sneak out at night", have been some of the highlights of my fishin adventures this past year. Special thanks to GRIMMER for "teaching an old dog how to run"! :D ;)

Again, THANKS STEVE for another great year with C/AR. Look forward to it's return!
