Boy oh boy the first shoot of the year was quite the challenge when we show up to Long Island (to shoot MY FIRST show for the Obsession) and NONE of my gear showed up. Talk about panic. But 10 phone calls on a Saturday afternoon and we found one outfitter with Shimano two hours away and the agreed to stay open long enough for us to go on a shopping spree! What an amazing place catching bluefish and stripers within 100 miles of NYC with one of my dear old friends Bill Stahl.
