Fish

There’s plenty of fishing left in 2012, and the November/December Issue of OTW will tell you all about it. Be there for the last leg of the fall run as it moves through the Jersey Shore. Find out where to catch your first muskie and brush up on your baitcasting to catch more largemouths. Also included is the 2013 Boat and Power Preview and a Fisherman’s Gift Guide to help you make your wish list for this Holiday Season.

    Blue Marlin

    by Larry Backman

    How can I explain such a personal quest? How can I justify the time, effort, money, sweat and tears spent on an 11-year mission? It’s been 11 years since I saw my first large blue marlin swim into the spread, 11 years since that fish decimated my spread, burned skin from my fingers, crushed my ego and painted an enduring image in my brain.
