So I had a short hiatus from west coast fishing. 4 years for dental school in New York, and just got back this summer. At UCLA for a year residency and then Ill be looking to practice somewhere in so cal.


But, I did get to do a little fishing while in new york. Montauk can get absolutely insane!

But this is how I felt when I got back:

What got me through the last winter was knowing what I was going to pick up as soon as I got back. The new rides:

First day out, I knew that I was going to be rusty and just wanted to make sure that everything worked. It certainly did!

Second time out was this last weekend, and I was set on yellowtail. I was out all 3 days and was able to make it happen:

Found the bait. Loving the 7 inch dragonfly btw.

SWeet!. How are you liking that ridgeline?

[Croaker Dave]

Great report. How do you carry your kayak on the Ridgeline? I don't see a rack.

[alanhighhand]

[Widgeon]

Welcome back home.

Always fun to fish new places, but... "There's no place like home"
:D

[Cadillyak]

Nice job. It's like riding a bike!

[flemdogg]

That dragonfly looks rad. Nice fish!

[Yakking101]

thanks guys! Ya, by state standards... Im a doctor. By Hangover standards... nope! HAHA

I love the ridgeline. I actually had one before I moved, and knew I was going to get another one when I got back. I use a bed extender which sticks out pretty far with the PA, but it seems to work just fine.

[Oxbeast1210]

WHat year is the Ridge been thinking about getting one.

Congrats on finishing up dental school and getting back on the fish! :cheers1:
I'll be starting my first year of dental school at UCLA in a couple weeks! :D
