Weds 11/4 Striper report - almost as good

    We headed out to where we had decent fishing yesterday but they were not there. Saw some bird life farther away but when we got there they were gone. Not a good start so we headed back to the bay and found some pods of bunkers to work on. Yesterday most of the fish were caught on Shads but today it was bait, live bunkers that we had to snag so pick some weighted treble hooks and live bait circle hook rigs. Mike did a good job snagging bunkers but it was hard to keep up with the dogs and the bunkers that got bit in half from the dogs. Dave got the first fish that ended up being the pool fish @ 43", and I had to give him a hug for that, inside joke. Was not fast fishing but we boated a few here and there. We want you to catch and more importantly bring the fish in so PLEASE listen to us, we don't want to bark at you the second time cause you didn't list especially about touching the drag after the fish is hooked, leave it alone, the big fish are suppose to take line out so it does not break. Sailing tomorrow, Thurs but not Friday with the rain forecast. Not that we can not go out but don't want to send you home cause not enough  showed up.  Thanks for looking in and here are some pics.

 

Tiger Tues again 11/3 - much better today but too big

    We went out with a good group of regulars, everyone we know, and was glad to please them. If you wanted to catch a trophy fish, today was the day. The fish were up on top and close but all too big with fish from 35 - 48". Jimmy caught the first fish and old John  @ 80 + years old caught the last and the pool fish at 48". He was very disappointed when he lost his first fish, another big one that parted the line, but made up for it, was not sure he could do it, but a past para trooper he hung in there. Good job John and thank you for your service. Wild Bill, we call him brought his niece, Laurie, who caught her first striper @ 38 " Back at it tomorrow and every day weather permitting, Fri does not look good, but thank you for looking in and here are some pics.

 

 

 

Sun/Mon 11/1 &2 Another bust for Sunday but ok today.

      Sunday we ran all over with no results but today was much better. First fish by Irish shirt Gary ended up taking the pool at 37". Move around on a nice day, and caught a few more, but all on live bait that Mike and others snagged. Mike did a great job at catching the bait and helping the guys with rigs and netting the fish. Please pick up weighted treble hooks and live bait rigs before you come down so you will be ready to roll. Few keepers and overs were caught and don't for get to have the right drag set on your reels. Hopefully the jig fish will show up soon. Thanks for looking in and here are some pics. 

 

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.
