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

Slow fishing 10/30

Headed out today with Tracey and Mike to do some striper fishing and finish the day togging.

Was miles of bait South of our inlet today.

But nothing on them 

snagged some bunker and headed out to some lumps. First two were covered up by dogfish, but the third had a few bass on it,  Mike had the only one come tight,

Then off to blackfish, steady bite  from smaller tog all afternoon , but never seemed to get and real quality fish chewing.

Still a great day on the water for October.

T shirt weather till the winds cranked up from the south

9/25 Togging

headed out this afternoon with Tracey and Steve to do some togging.
Tracey had our first keeper of the fall.
Steve had the first fluke on my new blackfish jigs, and the biggest tog of the day on a jig, just under 6 #.
Nice day on the water especially after the winds dropped out.
Made 3 drops through the afternoon with a few wiggles.
had a decent pick of fish at each spot Fish would come in flurries.
Fairly flat seas , let me run the boat in at over 40 knots.
Love it when its flat

READY FOR FALL

Pulled the boat For the hurricane.
got the internal zincs changed out as well as changed the oil , and lower unit oils while waiting out the storm.
changed out the steering hoses .
and couldnt wait to try and get one last shot in on the fluke yesterday.

John Tracey and I made some long runs checking some of the spots fluke congregate moving offshore. but didnt have much luck only catching a few fluke.

Looking forward to stripers and blackfish for the next few months

SLOW SUNDAY FLUKIN

Headed out with Tracey today to do some fluking.
bounced around a bunch of different sticky spots looking for a big fish.
Found very little looking to chew, more shorts than keepers.
I had four keepers and tracey had one.

was surprised the bite was so slow with pretty decent drifting conditions

cool colors 

Ozarks fluke tourney

Fished the Ozarks fluke tourney today , with Tracey , John , and Matt.
Hit a few places on good intel today. and Had good fishing at all of them, but no Jumbos for us today.
had well over a Boat limit ( only retaining our legal limit)
.
most of the fish weighing between 2-4.5 pounds.
Had to catch a hundred shorts, that were aggressively chewing today.


Crazy amount of current from the moon tide, made for fishing heavy jigs to
