At night and in conditions that send most fisherman indoors, Frank Blasko is heading out to ride the rip currents of the Atlantic in search of the perfect catch. Skishing, a contraction of skiing and fishing, is an extreme form of fishing practiced by a handful of hardcore surf casters off the shores of Montauk, NY. So called because in their natural environment, a large striper has the tendency to drag you around before it will let you reel him in, skishing carries the very real risks of getting hit by a boat, eaten by a shark or any of a number of other dangers inherent to venturing into the sea.
