I have been going to my local bookstore lokking at boat magazines, I pick up Boating Magazine and on page 116 is a 3 page spread on Jeremy this and jeremy Cameron that. I recognized the areas and it is about a trip he took this Summer Blue Fin Tuna fishing!! I was wondering where he was on Block Island and he is out on this boat, well the cat is out of the bag now!!!!!!!

ya man ... that was the killer trip i did with tom rosenbauer from orvis and
pete mcdonald the editor of boating magazine ... pete was testing out a boat for
the magazine and seeing how it fished .... tom was testing out the zero gravity
fly rods on bluefin tuna ... and i was .. well, not so sure why i was there ...
but glad i was!
i just got a copy of the magazine yesterday ... it came out nice ... i laughed
when i read the line "At around 10 a.m. I pulled into the launch ramp in Point
Judith, Rhode Island, where Jeremy stood waiting with fishing gear and a giant
thermos of coffee"
anyway --- the article is in the feb addition of "Boating" ... but there is also
an online version ... here ... it was definately one of the best trips i have
ever been on in my life ....

Oh! thats right,I'd been kicked to the curb once more and was standing in the rain on Block Island watching Blue Fin fly by in pods and a guy next to me with a red devil lure halling in a Blue Fin, where shall we meet next Argentina?

Nice spread Bro....Pete great Job on the article! I liked the cost breakdown on Trailering vs. Driving the boat....made a lot of sense.

Great reads! The weeks surrounding that were madness!! Thanks again Jeremy for getting me where I needed to be! There's a certain feeling I get when the tunoids move in......!!!!!
By no means am I pro moderating, but I'd like to see a couple posts on this thread get deleted.

Even though this was way out of context and incorrect.....IF someone was ever watching "Bluefin flying by in pods" from any shore watching guys hooking up, that should be the only place in their entire existance that they should want to be.... lmao!!!!
