Hey Brian
Blackfish Season this year from Middle of Oct e or(NY) through December was one of the best both for numbers and especially Quality. ( 9 fish over 10 lbs.)
I thought with that kind of start to the season Jan and early feb was going to be off the charts especially with all the trip i had planned down south. Unfortunetly even though we had a mild winter mother nature had other ideas as Marine forecast had 70% of our trips cancelled for Jan-Feb.
Have not been out till the middle of January. May try to give NJ togging one more try in Feb before blackfish season shuts down here for a month and then hopefully trips in April and May will not get blown out. Once may passes i will go through my log and sum up the year. Regardless of how it ends it has been a good year.
As for your rod i am still on the hunt so do not give up as once i set my mind to something there is no stopping me. Have faith as i believe this story will end up with a happy ending
