Got an invite from Steve to fish the Upper Delaware on a float trip with Capt Mike of Sweetwater Guide service.Made our way far north to start the day.Scenary was awesome, can only get better the next few weeks, as the fall colors come in.Fishing was pretty steady for both wild Rainbows, and browns with most of the fish being in the 18-20 inch range. super fights on light tackle, with alot of aerial leaps as the wild trout put up quite a show.Had some walleye as well as smallmouth to fill in during the time between riffs.Def a fun day in a very quite relaxing spot
After having the worst week of my life, losing my mother on Wednesday.
Making funeral arrangements yesterday, I had to get out of my house today.
As many peoples mothers are, mine was always there for me in every way. She helped me realize a dream of owning a boat I could comfortably fish a little harder than my old 19', when I purchased my Sea Pro 238., seemed most times she called the conversation started with her asking if I was fishing, or heading to the boat. It brought her ALOT of joy knowing I really enjoyed owning and fishing this boat as much as possible.
So today I headed out with Tracey and Steve to spend a day out on the boat.
We ran north to the ruff stuff finding no drift at all, so kept going north to the channels.
But the water there was dirty and the drift very fast in both the SH and the Ambrose channels. so afer an hour or so and only one keeper in the box we headed back to the ruff stuff.
The drift was better, even getting a little too fast when the tide and wind were together, but using an 8' drift sock we managed to put together a limit catch of really nice fluke.
We had 8 fish over 5 pounds, four of those over six, the biggest going 7#1 oz.
Steve had the hot hand and was the first to limit. Then I finished mine catching the 3 big fish on three consecutive drifts.
Was another great day on the water, but I had tears in my eyes driving home through the now sloppy south wind chop.
I can only hope that while I cant tell my mom about another great day I had , that she had seen it from above
I know she will always be there in my heart, until the day we meet again

saw a slight window to get out today before the south winds came a honkin.So headed out to fluke a few hours with Tracey.water was SUPER clean today. But still had a def SE heave to it.with the expected 20 knot S winds decided to only go as far as the Rattle snake, so the ride home wouldnt be too bad.Was DROP & REEL fluking there today, fluke were super aggressive but for the most part it was 17 - 17 1/2" fish .keeper ratio was about 25-1.Most of the time we both were fighting fish at the same time, sometimes even two at a time on the same line
Headed out on Scott's boat to fish the last tourney of the year. Started in the channels where we found alot of action . But was cookie cutter 17 1//2" fish.So moved to some lumps in the ruff stuff where we found better fish just not alot of them.we ended the day with 12 keepers to 7#14 OZ , not big enough for the Calcutta, and just over 16 pounds for our 3 fish taking 3rd place.Congrats to the winners with a 8.7 pound fish and over 18 pounds.was a fun picnic afterwards , and a great end to the 2014 Fluke season tourneys.Already cant wait for the 2015 season hopefully kicking it up a notch !!!!
Headed out with Eddie and Austin this afternoon to try and do some fluke fishing.Found the water very stained, but using marinade we were still able to scratch out a 3 man limit in the dirty water.Biggest fluke going just over 8 pounds.super nice afternoon , and a sweet ride home at sunset on nice flat seas..
Headed out this morning with Scott, Eddie, and Steve , and (Anthony in spirit) to fish the Friendly Sons of Shillelagh annual fluke tourney.Decided to only keep fish well over twenty inches today while fishing for a good fish to weigh in .Boxed 17 nice fish to Ed's 8.73 and My 8.36, taking home the second and fifth place money, with those two fish.def another fun day on the water.
