MAKE THE TRIP. He is a great guy and has great fish. He is 20 minutes from NYC. I make it from Long Island to his place in 20 minutes. You can see the fish, shoot the breeze. He will order you whatever you want.
If you don't have a car (i don't)
it's just a short trip on metro north and, a short cab ride once there.
Well worth it to see the set up and all the fish first hand!
