MEMORIAL DAY STRIPED BASS

Got out this afternoon to try for some bass, with Scott and Tracey. bait was up and down all night , with a few bass under them.
Picked bass to 30 pounds through the evening . pretty nice out , and really layed down at sunset.

Got to fish another of the Battalion rods that Penn has just released. In a heavy 15-30 pound line rating.
Rod is def a great match to the Revo NACL . Light as a feather to fish , and really has alot of backbone.
They def have hit a homerun with this series.

SHAKEDOWN FLUKE 5/24

Headed out with Scott and Tracey for a shot at some fluke in the ruff stuff.
Stopped and got some bunker, and hit a few lumps where I got a striper right at 30# ( released)

Headed to the ruff stuff, and made a few moves till we found a few fish.

Scott had the first keeper fluke a little while later.along with some Biscuits, which Tracey had the biggest of.

Scott and I each ended up with 2 keeper fluke, and 2 shorts.
Nice fish the smallest keeper was over 20" and the biggest was just over 5 1/2 pounds.
Caught him on the new Penn Battalion bucktail rod. felt really good. while fishing up to 6 OZ bucktails .

Nice variety of fish , for a short quick trip out.

MOTHERS DAY Footballs and Fishing

What happens when you the first thing you catch in the net is a FOOTBALL ? and a nice one at that.

you end up getting Bass & Blue playing LOL

Headed out tonight with Tracey for a shakedown run.

Big  to Capt Rich for doing another tune up for me and having the boat running sweet .

Headed out of the inlet to find a nice football floating about a mile off.
netted it as we hit some big bunker schools getting crushed by blue fish ,and LOTS of them .

caught blues until our arms were sore then moved off looking for bass away from the ravaging blues.

Found a nice pod of bass looking to feed and it was game on , leaving them still biting till well after dark.
A great start to the new year.

ALL fish RELEASED to fight another day >
