DONUTS 5/18

Had Jim and his boys out yesterday for an afternoon bass trip.
after having some fuel issues with my boat, we jumped on Scotts boat to try and make the afternoon a good one.
Made the run far south hoping to get into some of the slobs that have been being caught down there.
filled the livewells with 2 throws and off to fishing.
bass were there but really just not on the chew, as we only had 7 run offs all night , and only three of those really god runs at that.
one fish was hooked up and screaming from the boat, when it got tangled in dad's line ( a story the boys are sure to tell)

Kids fished HARD and never gave up till I ran the boat home well after dark.

GOOD BASSING 5/17

Quick report, had Brad, Tim , Justin , and Jesse out tonight for what turned into a very good night of bassing

Another striper cherry popped

Headed out last night with Ryan and his GF Mel to try and catch her first striper.
made our way up the beach at 38 on super flat seas with a light west wind. looked like it was going to be a pleasant night on the water.
WOW did that change quick as we set up to snag some bunker on the only small pod we had seen, that was also getting crashed by 20 boats.
after snagging a few I could feel the wind changing QUICKLY for the worse, as it started to HOWL out of the south.
Told Ryan we better make the run while we could , and would end up trolling if need be.
First drop we had bass trying to eat the bunker on top, with a few pulled out of their mouths before the blues came in and ripped up the bunker, losing the only live lined bass on the prop just feet from being netted.
put out the stretches and caught a few more blues before the right fish hit , and Mel did a great job putting the fish boatside.
another striper cherry popped. with seas already stacked up into tight 5 footers we decided to get back in before having to take a real beating.

Striper cherry popped

  Sunday my Nephew and I met Scott and Craig at the boat to try and get him a striper. With Scott driving the boat and me throwing the net just one throw was required to fill the live wells and off we went.
Craig had the first run off , which came undone. and Jacob had the second. which after a good fight he brought to the net. His first ever striper, as well as our start to the 2013 ocean striper run.

Craig added another after we had 4-5 come undone, as the fish were a little smaller and having a tough time getting the bunker down, Jacob grabbing the net and showing everyone he could also get that job done.

BOATS IN ITS NEW HOME

Put the boat in its new Home Sunday at Shark river.
Looking to start fishing this Week . looking forward to soon be chasing some big stripers up the beach
