So Phil and I went to the Hudson today. I guess all the rest of the
Northeastern ROFB guys were busy. Or wimps.

Anyway, we caught a load of fish, mostly drop shotting. Phil learned to
drop shot, and is now very comfortable with the technique. He didn't make
10 cast with anything else all day long. I threw a grub some, and caught
some nice fish on it, too. But the highlight of the trip for me (other than
meeting a new fishing buddy from the ROFB) was the 5 fish I caught on a
jerkbait. I threw a couple of Pointers in the box on a whim last night, and
tied one on today. First cast with it I hooked and lost a fish, then got 4
in 6 casts. Later I came back to the same spot and got one on my 1st cast
with the jerkbait again. This in 42 degree water, in mid-November in the
north. Cool.
