McDumDum 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Hello all, Just to introduce myself, My name is Jim I am a member of Atlantic Saltwater Fly rodders. I primarily fish in the salt about 200 days a year average. I sometimes venture into the sweet water when my daughter feels like catching some sunnies. I live on the barnegat Bay and work on Long beach Island. So I get to see Alot of water . My primary targets are Stripers and weakfish, but I am on a quest to catch a croaker on the fly.From what I have seen so far this site is great I cant believe that everyone actualy writes back to posts. other sites that I have been on people look but wont answer back, So thanks for a great site and sorry about my rambeling.

Guest Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Welcome McD. I'm envious of the fishery that you are able to get into on a regular basis. I fish Cape May, New Jersey every summer and I've caught weakfish and croakers there. These were all taken on boat rods and even with a stiff rod like those they are fun fish to catch. I can only imagine what they'd be like on a fly rod. My fly rodding is strictly fresh water for trout lately. I have fished fro bass with a fly rod. I actually started fly fishing for bass and used an ultralight spinning rod for trout. It's only been in the last 10 yrs. that I got inot fly fishing for trout and love it. Again, welcome, and I hope we get to hear a lot about the fishing opportunities on Barnegat Bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stel 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2003 Welcome!!! I will also be looking for your reports and adventures. I have fished salt water when I was a little one but haven't been back in while. I guess the coldwater fishery bug bit me here. I fly fish the sunfish family but that's about it. I do use flies to catch salmon and steelhead, does that count Once again, welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
