Good Sea bassing

Headed out with Steve and Tracey today to do some sea bass fishing.

LOTS of fish around.

decided we were only keeping 14" or larger fish today.

Probably threw back 5 limits to keep 22 larger fish 

Finally in

Looking forward to the upcoming season

Somerset Fishing Show 2017

Got to work at the Penn Booth Saturday and Sunday.
Great turnout , with ALOT of people making it through the show both days.
Nice to finally get out and talk fishing with like minded people. Seeing many old friends not seen over the winter. And hopefully getting guys outfitted with equipment they will get to have some fun with.

End of season

Tracey ,Eddie and I pulled the boat this evening.
Would have liked to stay in a few weeks, but with the cold snap coming it was time to bring her home for her short winters nap

NO Fluke about it

Headed out with Jack , and John  today to try for some stripers and then tog.

Made a long ride south finding nothing but flat seas  looking for bass.

So made a quick run back up north to start blackfishing.

Was a slow but steady bite through the day. but still way more shorts than keepers.

We ended up boxing 10 for a few nice dinners.

I lead the way with a limit . and J&J made up the rest.

once again got a surprise bite and caught another late winter fluke on the reef. ( released)

bit chilly in the wind today , but the enclosure def knocked that down making it a tolerable day in spite of slow fishing 

11/27 Slow togging

Headed out on Sunday with Tracey and Eddie to do some togging.
Made five drops never finding much more than shorts.
while the bite was really steady at each spot, the fish were all between 13-15 inches.
about 1 keeper for every 10  shorts.

we dropped the Go Pro down on each spot and was surprised to see very few blackfish.
was alot of bergall life, porgies some sea bass, and a few fluke seen cruising over the rubble.
I actually had a fluke eat a hooked bergall.

Eddie had his first of what im sure will be many on a jig.

a day of "B" fishing

Started off Blustery today.

Tracey , Eddie And I headed out to find the bass and blues looking to chow down on fresh snagged bunker.

Eddie really put on a clinic, everytime I snagged a bunker I was off to net a bass for him.

when the bite died off we moved on to Blackfish. which we found a slow steady pick of, but same as a few weeks ago , it was mostly small fish.

The end of the day the Wind blew out andit was about as Beautiful an afternoon as you could ever ask for in November.

A few more bass on the way home, made for a great day on the water.

ALL bass and Blues returned to play another day.

3 tog kept for dinner, rest returned to fight another day
