I’m with you, haven’t gotten out yet, missed the only nice days so far this season in Cleveland for deck replacement. Itching to get out. Weather is crazy this season usually we get out at least a couple times by now.I feel ya... temp in the 40s in NEO and headed down into the 30s...
Yours looks like it might have been a touch bigger... I missed a couple fish today too...at least we were on the water!Chatt, you got him on the boat I did not. You win, I had fun though!!!

That's just FREAKING NUTS!!!!I was fishing for big swordfish I think I had a really big shark on. That’s a Shimano 130 reel if you look at the size of it compared to my hand and that rod busted out the rod holder. When the rod holder broke I took the drag off and then the reelView attachment 149134 spun like crazy got tangled and stopped and that’s when the line broke. 120 lb test.
Well now that you only live an hour from me we will meet up on the water one weekend after my ski comes in then you will know someone who uses 120 pound test personally.?That's just FREAKING NUTS!!!!
I don't think I personally even know anyone who uses 120lbs test (to fish), lolol.

Nope, Nope, Nope.. Whatever you had on the end of that line had to be something like an old German sub or something. lolI was fishing for big swordfish I think I had a really big shark on.

Most definitely. I'm in the Kill channel, so trips to the LIS literally under an hour, in good weather. There are no "no wake" zones around Manhattan or in the Kill/van Kull, which still seems unreal. Hope it stays that way.Well now that you only live an hour from me we will meet up on the water one weekend after my ski comes in then you will know someone who uses 120 pound test personally.?
We chose to go to Portage Lakes for the first time this past Sunday and regretted wasting a nice weather day. The ramp on the way back in was crazy. We spent 45 minutes being civilized (ie staying in line just to drop off because all courtesy docks were taken up by parked boats), while watching boaters cut line, boats fall off trailers, boats nearly fall off trailers, boats ram into the dock, dead boats being towed in etc. We were so flabbergasted that no pictures were taken.I’m with you, haven’t gotten out yet, missed the only nice days so far this season in Cleveland for deck replacement.

If you hear 3 loud horns, its the staten island ferry pulling out lol. I used to have a cuddy cabin stored in liberty state park, there is a small island towards the right after you pass verazzano bridge, its good fishing thereUpper NY Bay:
