Fri/Sat 10/30 & 31 Fri was a bust but made up for it Sat - Bring your snaggers and rigs

   Friday morning started off like it was going to be good with life and birds all over close to home, but it was not. They did not want to bite and hard to catch. Worked down to where we caught some the day before but that was no good either although they did come up for a minute. Back up to another area but it did not pan out. Today we got our pool fish early, longest o over all length @ 40 inches caught by  Russ on a shad. Moved to other areas where the live bait was better so get your bunker snaggers before you come down. Much better than yesterday with a couple of keepers by Krissy & Howard, and shorts for the first time and also overs. Sailing every day weather permitting @ 8 AM , and call if you will arrive there after 7:30. Again, pick up weighted treble hooks to snag bunkers and bait rigs with circle hooks(the last pic) Thanks for looking in. 

 

Thurs 10/29 Caught the Bass, the Monster Bass

    Went out today with a nice group of "hoodie" regulars and others, (guys that had the kick'n Bass sweat shirts). Bob the truck driver, broke his cherry for this year to start off with a big one on the first drift. Stayed more local today and put a few big fish from 35" to 47" in the boat with Wild Bill boating 3 and Big Mike Q  taking 2 including  the pool fish @ 47". A few others around the boat were boated along with a few that were lost, on a beautiful day on the water. To top it off with a Big whale chasing the bunkers, which we saw a few times,  along with a bald eagle at the same time. Dolphins also showed up so it was quite a nature show, how do you beat that !?  Back at it tomorrow and every day, weather permitting, and don't forget to bring your shads, weighted snagger hooks, and jigs as the live baits that were snagged worked better but other fish were caught on the shads. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics.

 

 

Weds 10/28 Trophy Striper time - the big ones

     We started off local with some some bird life but no success so we went a different way then yesterday, but still a long ride. Howard caught his and the boats personal best at 50+ inches and least 50 + lbs, did not want to weigh it so it would live. Boated another at 44 " and lost a couple. The trick is to have a bunker snagger, a weighted treble hook  to snag a bunker and then put it on a live bait rig with circle hook.  We did boat fish on shads  and also jigs lately, but right now the live bait works best. Back at it in the AM so hope to see you on the boat.

 

Tiger Tues 10/27 Took the ride - came back with pride

     First let me wish my Sister a happy 70th, not that she will read this. We ended up with a  small group but we heard fish were at an area far away, so we took the ride anyway. Slow start, as I was thinking, why did I go this far, but as it turned out it was worth it after a handful of doughnuts on the last few trips. All big fish from 38 to 42" , boated some and lost some but at least something. Mike boated 2 and a few others landed around the boat, along with the ones that got away fish. Please listen to what the mates and it tell you, as we want you to catch and land fish. Hope they move closer and see you on the boat. Thanks for looking in and here are few pics of some we boated.

 

Monday 10/26 update - Call if you are arriving after 7:30 AM

     We made it out on Friday and Saturday with the same sad results.  Trying to sail every day now, weather permitting and of course enough showing up. Sunday morning we had 3 until 7:30 and gave them a choice to stay and hope of more showing up or jump on another boat. They left and then more showed up that would have gave us enough to go. Therefore if you a running late or will arrive after 7:30 please give me a call. We are all hoping that things will pick up after this full moon but there is more bait showing so pick up some snaggers and bait rigs just in case. Thanks for looking in and hope to see you on the boat, the bite going to happen soon.

Thurs 10/22 Game ON ! It's a go for Fri 10/23

     It may be breezy tomorrow, Friday, but we WILL be going. Hope the stripers are there and hungry. Also hope there are not too many small boats to knock them down if they come up, don't get me wrong there are a lot of sharp small boater fisher people, but there are also a lot of idiots the just plow into the fish and knock them down. Bring what you got, jigs, shads, bunker snaggers and rigs for live bait if you get a bunker. See you in the AM and lets hope for the best. Thanks for looking in.

Weds update, the winds won't stop - next trip now Friday 10/23

   We were planning on going out Thurs but will hold off until Friday since winds are still blowing. Hopefully the cooler temps pushed some more fish down and they will be hungry. Still on the 8AM - 2 schedule for now but please come by 7:30 or call ahead so we can figure if we have enough to go. Thanks for looking in.
