SMITTY'S HAULIN FLORIDA

I want to give a big thumbs up to Smitty for getting my Contender up here to NJ so quickly from Florida .

I had a trailer shop redo much of the trailer before its long ride here.
Including tires, new brakes, and master cylinder to find out NONE of it was going to work as the actuators springs were rusted into a solid mass.( alot of money spent for an unfinished job)

Smitty took the time to redo the actuator and still had my boat here the day he said it would be delivered.

Was like dealing with a good friend not a stranger the whole move. Letting me know exactly how things were going each step of the way.

Anyone looking for a good hauler he is def the guy to call.

GOOD FEW HOURS OF BLACKFISHING 12/14

Decided it was time to pull the boat today. After jockeying trailers at the marina and getting the truck loaded up.
Tracey and I headed out for a few hours of blackfishing.
Got anchored up at 1130 and by 130 we had a limit in the box.
The best of was Tracey's PB at 9 Pounds 4 OZ .
Bite was steady but they def were not committing to tugging at the bait.
Instead you would just feel them pick the bait up , and them feel them chewing the crab softly. a quick lift and it was game on
Shorts outnumbered keepers by about 2-1.

Nice to have some steady action before putting the boat away for its short winter nap.
Had a surveyor from NMFS stop us at the dock, where he weighed and measured all of the fish.

BUMMER Blackfish 11/23

Headed out to blackfish with Tracey, Eddie and his boys today.

big SE heave seemed to really put a damper on the bite.

Hit 6 spots that all had life on them , lots of shorts, few keepers, and TONS of dogfish.

Tracey had the first keeper, Austin the biggest tog, and ED and ED Jr were about tied for KING of the Dogfish



water temps were down to 51 a drastic jump from last weekend.

wish the weekend weather would give me a break every now and then. The should have been here yesterday is starting to get old QUICK.

11/16 Striper skunk

After reading all the good bass reports while away on vacation. I couldnt wait to get out today to do some live lining.

was ALOT of boats out there today., didnt see one fish caught

fished from sun up till noon and had enough, should have blackfished

C/R Tog with a side of Biscuits

Headed out with Tracey, Scott, and Jacob to do some toggin today. hoping to see Jacob get his first tog.
Also took a few quarts of clams to grab a few biscuits while we were there.
Fishing was a steady bite for most of the day.
Everyone caught their tog limit. and a few throw backs , and we had a fish basket full of sea bass, along with one lone porgy.
nice day on the water.

was shocked to see more boats out today than I had all summer.
