Another BASS kicking

Had Steve out last night for stripers.
And HE put on a clinic catching nice bass.
Best bass of the night was 39 pounds.

All fish released to fight another day 

39 pounder 

GOT MY BASS KICKED

Headed out to do some fluke fishing with Tracey this afternoon followed by bass.

only a few short fluke to show for our efforts , the big SE swell probably had alot to do with that .

She caught the biggest sea bass today , just over 4 pounds as well as 5 others between 2 and 4 pounds while fluking
.
Then had our biggest bass of the night at 34 pounds.

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 >

Troops lining up '14

Bucktails getting lined up for the new season

PENN hits a homerun

Got to see one of the rods Penn has designed for bucktailing fluke tonight.

Hung a few bucktails on it to 8 OZ, this rod seemed to handle the bucktails to 6 OZ very well, the next rod in the series should be great for anything heavier than that

it is a perfect match to the ABU Revo  NACL, and just floats in your hand.Just perfectly balanced

CANT wait to fish these rods this summer , as hearing they will be available around June
