Fishing Trip Trade, L.I. Sound for FLA Sword'ing

John_Madison CT · 01-21-2008, 07:57 PM

OK, this is a long shot, maybe a very long shot.

My offer is this:

I will trade one day of fishing on the L.I. Sound for Stripers, Fluke, Bluefish, Blackfish, Sea Bass or Porgies for...............a trip on your boat to go night time Swordfishing.

OK, are you done laughing?? If not, I have a 25' Parker Sportcabin and know my local waters very well. My offer would apply to the months of June thru Nov.. I would recommend the species based on the season, but there are usually a few options. The larger Stripers run the whole season really.

I'll be down in the Delray Beach area from Feb 13th to 20th..

Let me know.

Thanks,

John

I am sure if it is weather we can find you a ride.But remind us before you come down.Weather is the biggest factor that time year.

Just come on down and you will have plenty of rides waiting!

Tuna Devil · 01-22-2008, 02:34 PM

Where is Long Island sound?

Just kidding, I live on Long Island.

Just like QQ and GT said just come down.

John_Madison CT · 01-23-2008, 08:20 AM

Wow, you guys are a very friendly group. I appreciate the offers. I'll drop another note when I get closer to that date.

I just got back from NC Giant tuna fishing and have the bug to tug on something big again.

Is Delray Beach far from where you guys fish?

quack quack · 01-23-2008, 08:59 AM

Nope Delray is right in the middle.

TOPPDAWG · 01-29-2008, 01:58 PM

Yea Bro.....you Come Down And Remind Us And Thers Always Room For One More!!!!!!!

John_Madison CT · 01-29-2008, 11:27 PM

You guys are getting me pumped. My vacation is two weeks away and I'm chomping at the bit. I'm actually in Boca right now on buisness but with only an hour or two to go to tackle shops. The weather is fantastic.

Other than BassPro in Dania, can you guys suggest some kick-butt tackle shops?

Otherwise, I'll send another note before I come down.

Thanks again guys.

Head South on Federal Hwy to 49th Street in Lighthouse Point (East side next to the Citgo Station).

RJ Boyle is the place to kill Presidents.

10 min drive from Boca

Captian Harry`s is not bad if you head down to Miami ... can spend a few buck`s there

John_Madison CT · 02-03-2008, 03:08 PM

I made it to Custom Rod&Reel in Lighthouse Pt.. Tom Greene was an incredibly nice buy and he taught me a lot. Great shop. Wish we had something that good in CT..

The weather was incredible last week. Hope it holds when I come down for vacation in another 10 days.

John_Madison CT · 02-14-2008, 03:05 PM

Hi guys, I'm here and loving the warm weather. We barely made it in last night with the storms up North and here too. Glad to feel the wheels touch down late last night.

Anyway, if any of you guys have an open seat one of these nights, I'd be glad to come along. I just need to know when and where so the wife and kiddies can make alternate plans.

Regards,

John

Boca? Def stop by Ray's Offshore on 2nd and 20th St.

quack quack · 02-15-2008, 11:54 AM

John did you find a ride for tonight?

John_Madison CT · 02-15-2008, 01:14 PM

Quack Quack: I'm too darn busy for the 20 person Sword boat I think you're heading out on tonight. It sounds like fun. Oh well, if nobody goes out while I'm still here there's always next year.

John

John_Madison CT · 02-15-2008, 08:29 PM

Nick C: Thanks for the recommendation.

I stopped by Ray's Offshore and met Ed. I spend a couple bucks and we chatted about Ed's home state, CT. Great store !!

I got one of those cool "Disco" LP lights for night Swording up in the NEast Canyons. Too bad I have to wait about 5 months to put it into use.

John_Madison CT · 02-17-2008, 11:12 AM

Quack Quack: Did you go out on that head Swordie boat Friday night? If so, how'd you do?

John

quack quack · 02-18-2008, 08:57 AM

John_Madison CT · 02-18-2008, 09:27 AM
