While one of rec.boats sh*theads (aka Jim) was here posing as me, I was
in Deale early this morning at the Tri-State Marine fisherman's flea

there just before 8, and there were at least 300 people inside, looking
over stuff on the vendors' tables. Very little there interested me,

Of course, because you are far superior to any other fishermen
anywhere.

Most of the gear being sold was targeted at the guys who tow heavy
umbrella rigs ISO stripers. Not for me.

Umbrella rigs aren't the only way to catch stripers. I don't know why
you bash striper fishing so much, they are one of the best fighting
fish there are, and they taste good too. Fishing for stripers isn't
nearly as boring as bottom fishing for flounder.

But I did buy a handful of nice wood topwater plugs from a fellow
selling this guy's wares:

I bought a couple of each. They're not very expensive, they're "pretty,"
and the guy hawking them told me how he caught some nice stripers up at
the Bay Bridge.

I prefer sight and topwater fishing, so I'm sure these will be fun.

But striper fishing is SO far beneath someone of your extreme
sophistication.

If you'll look carefully, you'll find very few pics of Harry and fish. Ever
wonder why?
