GOOD NIGHT OF BASSING
Crazy wind gave us a break tonight.
Once again, bunker for miles.
Bass pushing through the bait at different spurts most of the late evening.
sometimes looking like someone was throwing cannon balls into the water.
when the fish did hit your bait it was HARD, and the runs tonight were intense.
we had 2 bass on tonight we couldnt even slow down.
Pulling half the spool before popping the leader.
Nice sunset to end the night on the ride in..

TOUGH WEATHER BASSING FOR THE OHIO BOYS
Tough weather bassing for the Ohio Boys
Craig brought both sons Reece and Austin to try and get Austin his first striper, and Reece a new PB trying to beat his 43# from a few years ago.
Was tough fishing both Wednesday and Thursday in the NON STOP wicked west wind.
knew it was going to be tough getting wind whipped each day, but also that the wind should have the bass on the beach.
Wednesday saw only one striper bite, which came unbuttoned.
not finding bass I made a long run north to get in on some of the bluefish action.
The old Reelmusic 3 ran through the slop quickly, and even quicker south when the Storm settled in about a half hour after Austin caught his first NJ fish a big blue.
Ride home was crazy with the rain coming at us sideways at 30 plus.
Beat the rolling fog back to the inlet drenched even wearing raingear.
Thursday we headed out to miles of bait , with not much on them.
A move north and found we had just missed a good bite. tried to pick up a straggler there but didnt draw a single hit.
Headed back towards the inlet stopping on pod after pod till we found one loaded with bass.
Them zipping through the bunker schools that a n bunch of whales had balled up.
The boys had a hard time pullling their eyes away even during a good bite as the show we had with the whales was awesome.
Many times breeching with mouthfulls of bunker just yards off the boat.
bass zooming all over the top.
all nice fish in the mid 30's, the biggest caught by Reece at 37#.
Ran in to regas the boat.
and headed back quickly to where we had left them to find little bait left there.
had just started fishing a little north , when got a call ( thanks FM) that the bass where back up on top where we had been for hours earlier.
Caught some more, and headed back in as the ocean was finally laying down as the boys had had enough.
got to break in the New Penn Battle 2, and the Penn Fathom LV on some nice fish.

BLESSED with good friends
Headed down to pull the boat Early this morning to check out what failed on the trim motors.
With Eddie and Tracey we had the boat on the trailer in a few minutes.
But it then took some effort to get the motors blocked up. Both the main piston seals had failed.
Then with the help of Tracey, Eddie, And Rich we pulled off the radar antenna so it can get a new top done this week.
Beating the rain by minutes.
VERY fortunate to have friends who are always there to lend a helping hand.
def makes for alot less stressful days when everything isnt perfect.
Cant wait to get her
back rigged back up and back in the slip as soon as possible

BIG GIRL 6/4
Headed out with Tracey this morning to do some bass fishing , and fluking.
Made bait with one throw, then bounced around only getting one bite, but it was a good one.
47# on the digital scale. Check out the girth on this beautiful Chessy bass !!
swam her for a few minutes after the pics, and got a big old splash from the broom tail when I set her free.
Had one fluke before heading in for lunch, then as we left to head back out I had a trim unit go bad.
Dam boats, one minute your on the top of the world cruising along.
the next your pissed waiting to do it again.

Foggy Flukin 5/29
Headed out with Tracey to do some fluking yestrerday.
bounced around a few spots oceanside to see if any fluke have moved in.
Small sea bass were relentless, tearing at the Gulp tails.
clouds of them everywhere we stopped.
Had 8 fluke, 3 of which were keepers, biggest one going 5 pounds.
was heading in to Pick up Scott and the pizza boy at 1 when a super dense fog rolled in , blanketing the area in minutes to 50 yard visibilty.
Made our way back watching the nut show on the radar as guys were trying to find their way back to the inlets.
crazy how many guys felt the need to try and catch up with other boats heading in , hoping to follow them.
and even more trying to run the shoreline , while only being able to see the breakers, and not even the beach.
I pushed off into deeper water , and less boats and made our way in to find a cluster F in front of the inlet.
as guys who were using their GPS , to navigate back, knew they should be there, yet you couldnt see the inlet until you were through it.

SATURDAY BLUES
Headed out with Steve and Zack today to try and get Zack on a few stripers and bluefish.
After getting the word on no bait or fish south from another member here ( thanks for the call)
I decided to head north to the bay.
Flat seas made for a quick ride at 40 knots all the way to GKH, where we were about to net bait and another guy came past wit a full basket he had just been ready to toss back and off we went to the grounds.
we had blue run off at every stop , but the werent their aggressive selfs there today.
Finally Zack had a decent bass boatside almost ready for the net.
when a big bluefish grabbed the bunker from the basses mouth and hooked itself.
A bunch of stops , still no bass but giant blues from the bay all the way back to Asbury, made for some fun on the water.
