## Resource

Our annual tradition continues, as we welcome back the MAN himself, John Skinner on "opening day" of the New York state striper season (which is no longer a thing, but if you don't know what we're talking about, you can Google it). We discuss a variety of topics, but focus on what he calls "variable windows" which are critical to his success in the surf. PLEASE support John!
