Grand Pa Savino fluke tourney

Fished the Grand Pa Savino tourney today , with Scott, Anthony and Eddie.
Scott did a good job of putting us on fish , catching over a boat limit, ( only keeping 18).Anthony had all the big fish honors today for our weigh in fish.
we were third when we weighed but we got bumped by the next two boats to weigh.
we weighed in just under 20 pounds, the big fish going 7.8.

was cool seeing the Doormat calcutta fish of 13 pounds win the 50,000 prize.


was a steady day of catching fish when ever we could get a drift.
I dropped another big fish today thats going to haunt me.


Fun long day on the water.

Congrats to all the winners today, in what I think is one of the best fluke tourneys yearly.

quick trip 7/23

Headed out for the afternoon after putting the Contender back in.
found fish pretty quick and had 7 keepers in four drifts.
All fish released as I wasnt going to have time to clean fish before work.

7/18 RBAC FLUE TOURNEY

Two Nice big sea bass.

We contributed ALOT of bucktails today, while fishing hard throughout all the sloppy weather

First MFM

 First Massachusetts fluke massacre

 After Anthony received  a sick report a few weeks back about the fluke bite off Nantucket, we had to see it for our selves. Anthony had a customer come in, completely worn out, that had just got back from 2day Helen H trip. 
Tales of fluke to #15 were enough to drive us near insanity.  
Scott booked captain Jimmy the Greek of "On Time Charters" and Scott, Eddie, Anthony  and I made the long trek up to the cape. 

The drive up had everyone wired, excited to say the least. Even  McDonald's serves lobster up there fyi
we made it to the south Yarmouth boat ramp with a few hours to crash before shoving off. 
We made a stop just off Nantucket to get some bluefish for bait and also managed a nice striper as well. The fish were stacked and there was not a boat in sight, in fact, we didn't see another fishing boat the whole entire day besides the Helen H. That completely blew our minds , talk about an UNTOUCHED fishery. 

The fluke were spread out but when we found them we were bailing beautiful 3-5lb fish. 
Although we didn't connect with our monster, the day was still a complete success.
we caught over 50 keepers only keeping our boat limit. 
We were priveledge to see an unspoiled fluke fishery. 
We fished all day in troughs with the same Bucktail. .

Jimmy worked hard all day, and im not sure how he felt about some  of the HARDCORE ball busting going on.

But while he fished fresh bait thoughout the day, we mostly bucktailed . And really did a number on the fluke. when Jimmy would find a pod of fish we did quick work filling the box.

Not sure how Scott made it drving the whole way there and back, especialy the way back that took over 2X getting home due to road closures and traffic.

Was a good time fishing with our tourney team up there prepping for the new season. 


Best part is I got to fish for free, as Tracey paid my fare , as a birthday present.
