Good thread...My whole life has been the outdoors mainly fishing and duck hunting.As i got older im just not into killing stuff anymore.A few yrs ago i would have never believed i wouldnt duck hunt but last season i sold all my stuff.My South bay duck boat all my Decoys it all went.Only thing i kept was my guns .Fishing i was on a boat before i could walk if im not working im FISHING.So here comes the problem.This will be my first summer as a "Pirate" Since last yr metal detecting has consumed my life.My wife just asked me at dinner last week."Babe whats gonna happen this summer?"Im like what do you mean?Im like what are you talkin bout?Shes like are you gonna fish or metal detect?and she laughed and laughed...Then it hit me....I have a problem...I have 2 addictions and they are best at the same time.I fish for everything in the Sound but my love is fluke fishing.Fluke bite the best on the last 3 hrs of the Ebb tide and well metal detecting is the best the last 2hrs of the Ebb into the first 2hrs of the incoming.I guess im just gonna play it day by day i mean if its wind against tide fluking will sux so ill go detecting.Most of the beaches on Long Island you need to be a resident of the town the beach is on.So my boat is gonna be a big part of my detecting this summer.I have alot of beaches in mind im plannin on anchoring my boat off of and jumping over the side with my Xcall.This is my plan of finding fresh drops this summer.As of right now my plan is to balance the 2 addictions but i guess were gonna see wich is stronger...
