Saturday November 5th hybrid meet & greet

[Donnie Brasco]

Hey Guys,

I have been reading & reading all about these for the last like 7 years and I think it’s time I pull the trigger…..

I’d like to participate in this and meet all you famous fishermen ( Al Lindner who ? ) who I’ve been reading about & seeing all your great catches through out the years.

Have a 16’ Misty Harbor fishing boat which can fit 2 big guys easily, 3 would be tight but doable.

Ok, so Lake Hopatcong state park boat launch right ? Went there this summer on the lake with no luck, water was puke green and saw no fish.

Have caught a few hybrid stripers in the past years ago on Spruce Run and at Cozy Lake in Jefferson, all on lures ( spinner & a Rattle Trap ) - never on bait.

Have the tackle, just never went specifically for them with bait.

By the way, I’m kind of between jobs and have plenty of time to fish - ie looking for some fishing partners - I think I’m on the right site !

Ok, so I’m kind of a tech Luddite and I know “PM” means personal message but I for real don’t know how to do it - can tie one hell of a steelhead float rig though, down to the gram !

So I’m replying on here, hopefully Fast Eddie & Mikey Topaz can get me there and we’ll all get out fishing - the greatest & best sport ever…..

Ok thanks guys.

I’ll be there early too we will make sure you get dialed in and know what your doing before you leave the dock.

Thanks Eddie / Mikey !

Looking forward to it…..

2 questions:

1. What is the rig used - like for lakers or tuna, 1/4 oz egg sinker on main line to a swivel, 20/ 30 lb fluorocarbon leader ( a foot or two ) to the hook…..

2. Bait - I hear you get them on chicken livers, herring or whatever….

I can pick up whatever from the food store and if you guys get herring I’ll happily reimburse you for whatever the cost for a few…..

Thanks

Donnie check out post #2 on this thread to give you some ideas on rigging.

Most of us will be soaking livers and fishing in a orgy. Get yourself at least 2 tubs per person. I use inline circle hooks 2/0 on an 10-14# 18-24" leader with a split shot or 2. Some fish them without weights. Not sure if Dows is still selling herring. Give em a call you can pick up bait from the water.

I did some scouting on Sunday and had a super slow pick of fish. Total of 6 in the boat biggest was 23". Likely be out again this weekend.

Save yourself a few buck and get your Lee's pass online ahead of time.

Read that thread, think I’m good …..

I called Lee’s Marina today, guy was very nice, didn’t know there was a $25 launch fee, he told me the State Park launch is free ( I knew that )….

Oh well…..

Hope to see you all up there on Saturday the weather looks great. I’m waiting in the wings hoping I’ll be over this nasty cold and hacking cough I got.

Just in case I can’t make it I’m meeting up with Eddie to give him some fishing T Shirts Jose from the site made up.

Feeling a lot better today so looking forward to fishing with you all on Saturday!
