7/12 Day 2 SHBA fluke tourney

Tracey and I fished with Scott, Eddie , And Anthony for day 2 of the SHBA fluke tourney.
was another great day of catching, just no big fish to get in the money.
Biggest fish was 6#2 oz.
Tracey was edged out by a 5 pounder in the ladies division.
Anthony had a hot hand in the AM limiting out by 645.
alot of quality, many in the 4-5 pound range as well as releasing a bunch over 5 pounds after we had the box filled. looking for than lone doormat.

had over 35 keepers today only retaining our legal limit

7/11 Day 1 SHBA fluke tourney

Quick report,
headed out with Scott, Eddie , Anthony and Tracey on Scotts boat for day 1 of the SHBA tourney.
fished the sticky stuff all day, BUCKTAIL to keeper ratio was about 1-1
Finished up with a 5 person boat limit to Scott's 6 1/2#
Tracey best today was 4#

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.

FINALLY >>>>------------------------->>

Tough fishing weekend 6-13---6-14

Decide to head out with Tracey and Eddie Saturday afternoon. Running the Sea Pro as the Contender is still having some work done.

Had planned on a noon start but had issues with the trailer that I had just had bearing redone on. as last weekend we found the lugnuts were not really tight and I almost lost a wheel.
which had worked the splines loose.
Limped the trailer into Dosils, where George did us a huge favor and Jumped right on it and changed both hubs entirely and had us on our way 2 hours later.

We netted bait with Edie tossing one throw and decided to head out east where I had some reports of fish in cleaner water.
we found the water way cleaner than the Bay but only saw a bunch of pods of dolphins pushing bunker.
Fluked around some rubble piles for a few hours with not much but shorts to show for it. Headed back into the bay catching a few more shorts and one keeper.

This morning tracey and I headed out to bass the Bay.
With NO THROWS of the net the livewell was full as another site member here had a net full and asked if we wanted some. ( THANK YOU ) 
Filled the livewells and off to fish.
Bounced around a few areas that have been good , and heard from another Captain he had some fish close to where we where but a fleet had stated to build shutting the bite off as we got there.
we fluked the channels for a bit, then as boats left had a quick shot at a few bass with Traceys new PB 38 pounds being the nicest.

Fluked a few more hours before heading in at 11 , after just catching a bunch more shorts.

Couldnt ask for two nicer weather trips, just wish we could have found more fish that wanted to chew.

Sea bass and Cod 6-7

Headed out with Tracey, Eddie and Austin for a few hours to run the Sea Pro and put some sea bass  on Ice.
Bounce around and Tracy and I caught a dozen knuckles as well as a few cod .

 The boys stayed busy keeping the Bergalls away from us LOL
