Slow fishing 6-11

Headed out with Tracey and Eddie this morning.
Hit a few spots to try and sea bass , had a party boat try and bully me off one of them. .
He finally gave up.

Sea bassing where we were yesterday was a cluster of shorts, so we went to try some fluking.
Had about a dozen shorts for the few keepers we put in the box. still a nice day out.
fishing can only get better

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.
