fog city

Today I had Sam and Phil for a half day bass trip. Started a little slow but we finished up catching a whole bunch of bass and blues. As always, I really have a great time with Sam and his friends. Looking forward to doing it again.

Southsoutheast

Sunday I had Kilsong and his two friends up from New Jersey. The weather was not looking great NOAA said 2o southeast and low vis but we went for it anyway. We found the fish right away smashing the surface first couple of throws and we are tight. This fish is large and almost spools us so we make chase. Long story short after 1 hour and 45 min we have the fish boat side and he is still being bad. This is a commercial fish. I miss with one poon shot, we try to work him up again but the line gets wrapped on the tip and off he goes. Work back to the numbers and they are still there. We get doubled up losing one and fighting the other for 45 min and releasing the fish boat side 72 inches. Great day with conditions very tough we still managed to find them. Thanks to Kil and his friends for a nice day lets do it again.

Fishing madness

Today I had my friend Bob Pink out for a day of madness. We had Easterly winds all day yesterday and I was a little skeptical this a.m. as to what the inlet would be like. I thought right; we had solid eights at the inlet and with a dumping tide it was a little unnerving, but my Seacraft took it well and we made it out. The fishing grounds had 4 to 6 foot tight swells with a couple of 8's thrown in. Nice. We found the fish quickly and went tight on an Ocean Lure plug. Had him on for a while and pulled the hook.

The fish today were charged up and feeding on herring and macks. This went on for four hours — we would hook up, fight the fish 30 minutes, and pull the hook boat side. We had some of the best topwater takes I have ever seen. Four fish to the boat with clean releases, at least five more hookup's with run off's, and lots of swings and misses. After all that we moved in and found the bass; we had acres of big bass feeding on top with tuna mixed in. Salty's Needles were the name of the game inshore, with the Got-Strypers a close second. All in all some of the best fishing I have ever seen. Hopefully it will continue. I think Bob might need some help getting out of the truck when he gets home..

Thanks for a great day Bob.

TUNA VIDEO HIT PLAY BUTTON ON BOTTOM

TUNA BLISS

Spent the last couple of days on the tuna and it has been sick. Went 4 for 8 the other day with many more missed hookups. Also had fish in the 450 lbs range pile onto topwater plugs with reckless abandon. The fish are hungry and feeding on herring, macks, and sandeels. This has been some of the best fishing I have ever seen in early June and the bass fishing has been even better with acre after acre schools of hungry bass...

EPIC DAYS

The fishing around the Cape has been top shelf. Had a fly trip the other day with two guys who really put the fish on the boat. Coach and Richard were great fly guys, they got the job done. They are to of the best casters I have had on the Osprey. With acres of big bass all over the surface it was a sight to be seen. Big bass feeding on 6 inch herring they are putting on the weight. We also enjoyed plenty of shots at finicky tuna but just could not finish the deal. All in all a great day on the water...
