Good to heard you are catching. Most of us are all done for the season. The beach has been dead. I check the guys fishing everyday and haven't heard of a thing to get excited about. The rips and the deeper water seem to be the only places there is any action. Nice report, hope you get a few more trips in before the weather get real bad.

Thanks Ray,nice to hear from ya,That was probably my last trip,making arrangements to pull the boat,was going to do it sunday but went fishing instead....Vinny Pastella

Way to hang in there. My boat is at Tony's for a tune up. My Buddy is taking it to the keys for the month of Feb. I hope to get down and fish with my brother in Palm Bay and then visit my boat in the keys for a couple of trips. This weather this week looks like it is really the end of fishing season. Glad you ended it with some fish.

Ray sounds like a good trip,a friend of mine bill hallman is in Palm sailfishing as i type,and hey if you try the winter trout fishing,i have a couple fly boxes chock full of very good patterns,that will catch trout or steelhead from palaski to erie,or locally.I would be glad to lend ya to take along with you,Vinny Pastella

Vinny, I hope to try some trout fishing. It is all new too me. Never tried it with a fly rod. The bigger fish seem like they would be fun, up in New York. Will have to see what the winter brings and what kind of time I have. I will keep your offer in mind.
