HA !! I worked at MSG for close to 12 years as a stagehand. I worked every concert in that time frame and have seen just about any band you caan think of. We (stagehands) had nothing to do with the Knicks and Rangers, (but I did get a chance to skate with the Rangers many times).

Now I run a Broadway theater, which is great, but I do miss some of the concerts!

Gotcha, The wire body of the spinner bait is good enough to keep their jaws off the mono. I was fishin small jigs for smallies in the Passiac last fall, having my line just go limp a hand full of times, like someone under the water had a razor blade. The large flashes I saw told me I wasn't retrieving over sharp/jagged debris. Thanks for the reply!

Re: Kayak Fishing..

what's up jerry,

I don't have a kayak yet, but I do a ton of fishing up here in some north jersey lakes...I recognized ur picture from Mike's Guide Service page up in PA. I have a trip booked with him for the first week of June this yr on the susky...looks like I should have some fun...anyway, I am a member of a hunting club that is like a mile down the street from Mike's house/pond...i go up there a few times a month and fish all the local lakes/ponds/creeks...i could send u some pics of some monsters we have gotten from our secret honey holes...we have a small pond on our property with bass,crappie,channel cats, perch etc...we should meet up and fish a lake around here sometime...i like to do some hikes up to remote lakes here in jersey...longer walks=less pressured/bigger fish

Good luck with the tarpon, I am sure you will love it !!

Re: Kayak Fishing..

I ended up getting a Tarpon & it's been great! My gf just got a kayak too and we went to Funace Lake early this morning to break it in.

She got 2 bass right off the bat (way more productive then when we've done shoreline there) & one of them was a nice chunk. No bass for me but I got my first Muskie! Not a biggie but got him in on my bass spinning setup (perch pattern rapala).

Had him out of the water briefly to snap this pick & then right back in.

Re: Kayak Fishing..

thinking about getting a Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 12, has anyone had any experience with the paddle drive or electric motor?
