Not much to report lately
ByIt’s that time of year again… The F%$#ing bluefish have moved in pretty thick, making it tough to get a good drift in. There are still bass here, we are seeing them on the Humminbird holding tight to the bottom. Our average of 10 quality bass a day is now down to 2 or 3. The good news is that there is still plenty of bait around…
Monday’s charter was with Chris and his dad, Tony. We managed only one good sized bass in the boat. Here are a couple of pics…
Yesterday, I had the crew from Bookfishingtrips.com again. I warned them of the fishing conditions but they wanted to give it a shot anyways. They were valiant in their fight against the bluefish and were eventually rewarded with 3 bass. None of them were worthy of taking the camera out in the nasty conditions we had…
Better days are ahead!

Blaine,
Thanks for the great trip. I know by normal standards things were less than what you normally expect, but my father, and I, are hunters and fisherman, so we totally understand the ups and downs. That striper that my father did actually get to the boat is, by far, his biggest fish. He is seriously considering putting it on the wall, even though it is what we see quite a bit out here. They just don’t have these fish in Minnesota. He is still talking about that day, so that is what is important to us. Thanks again for a great trip, as usual, and you know I will be booking a trip again soon.
p.s. F^%$ BLUEFISH…lol

Chris, I’m glad your father enjoyed himself… A week earlier and he would have been jumping up and down! Oh well, next time…
