Free Sunglasses - Name the Spot
Enough of this election nonsense. It's time for some free stuff!
The first person to correctly name the exact spot and species being fished for will receive a pair of Oakley Straight Jacket sunglasses.
Since these are sweet shades you also have to answer when the best time of year to fish this area is and why. This doesn't have to be a long answer, but enough to educate our fellow flytalk members. If this single image proves too difficult I will post more hints throughout the day.
Good Luck. The winner will be named tomorrow.

pike or walleye somewhere up north, just guessing by the weird boat.

Newark, New Jersey.
Why and what?
Stripers running in the spring that are hungry.

Shoot man, I never read the instructions. Jamaica Bay NY, fishing for striped bass.
The best times to fish there for striped bass are the early spring when the stripers start their migration up from the Chesapeake or down from the Hudson and are very very hungry.
Or I'd say November, now, when the big bass are following the bait down the coast and into the bays on the fall run and you may just get a fat cow.

brook trout, rocky mountain national park?
Posted by: joey | November 05, 2008 at 04:50 PM
Chicago Illinois for salmon...
Posted by: Alex Pernice the fly rod winner | November 05, 2008 at 04:54 PM
Definitely Jamaica Bay, NY. However, I am going to say they are targeting blue fish due to the fact the everyone else said stripers, which would be the obvious choice. However, if you notice in the picture the angler is lipping the fish, so of course I too am thinking striper, but he is looking at it with utter disdain, so I am thinking they are targeting blues but can't keep the filthy stripers off the line.
Posted by: Strip Set | November 05, 2008 at 05:04 PM
Sorry, did not finish before hitting send. I think TR is hitting us with a trick question as Jamaica Bay has a resident population of blues (and stripers for that matter) so the fishing can be epic all year long....
