The rain had begun early in the morning and poured throughout the day. Saturday most of the day was heavy East winds that really chopped the bay up with 2 – 3 foot waves. The Maryland crew and Wolfpack were also camping J-Bay regulars. It still earned me the Camp Chef title Replacing ‘Bob Mullet’ Miller whom didn’t make it to the event. I cooked every one some skillet chicken thighs Friday evening which I over salted. Charlie LaBar hooked me up with a pad in his camper since the crew i was bunking down with bailed. We were able to block most of the wind and with a patio heater keep it pretty warm within our camp. So we rearranged and built a canopy shelter with tarps and the campers to block the wind. Upon arrival it was blowing 15-25 mph East. What used to be a 45 minute drive is now 4 hours from my home. Over the years of fishing I have learned not to put a lot of trust into a weather forecast.

Typical Jamaica Bay weather was slated for the date unfortunately a nor’easter had it targeted to rain for 4 days accompanied with high winds. It was set to be the first of the Jon Shein Memorial Jamboree. Chris of The Kayak Fishing Store set aside a small number of campsites for a few via word of mouth. The tournament would draw 350+ anglers every year and was the Hobie Qualifier. This year however the tournament wasnt carried over so a small group of anglers decided to camp and fish the same date as the tournament was always held. Joh Shein started the Jamaica Bay Kayak Fishing Classic somewhere about 15 years ago. A stormy reunion at Jamaica Bay wasnt the plan but became a good time after all.
