Saturday June 20, 2009 was a whaler rendezvous which was to start at the Statue of Liberty and circumnavigate Manhattan Island. From there we were to travel to New Rochelle for a barbeque. There where a number of different meeting points that boat owners where to meet and from there travel to the Statue of Liberty in NY Harbor to begin are flotilla. One of the meeting places was under the Throgs Neck Bridge. Being familiar with these waters I decided to get there a little early and try bass fishing some of my favorite spots in Manhasset bay. Well my efforts where rewarded with large schools of bunker moving threw the area being pushed by some nice size stripers. The photo was 1 of 3 fish caught that morning weighing in at 32lbs.I decided to keep one and take this photo in front of the Statue to the delights of some 60 Boston Whalers owners and there crew.
