Ok gentlemen, after many hours of reading your advice, and tommy's careful coaching I have caught 4 keeper fluke last night, not to mention 3 dogfish, 2 skates and a searobin, as well as a case of lost sleep since i got in late and had tobe at work early!!
It was exciting to know I navigated the boat to a spot, rigged my own lines, and actually caught fish by myself without a charter captain.. Now if I could just get my wife to eat fish we could have a great dinner this week.
Thanks for all the info.
Dennis
