Spring is in the horizon

[Hunter704]

Bass fishing is around the corner, I’m so ready to get the lines in the water.

Absolutely!!!! Plenty of work getting the boat set up, and most of the reels have come back from their spa trip of 2025. Start rigging up!

Soon enough hopefully we don’t get any curveballs sent at us.

Who's going flounder fishing?

An acquaintance of mine went on two solo trips last spring with zero expectations. Put the effort in for one fish at 16 inches.

Uncovered the boat this past weekend. Going to tackle some maintenance stuff over the next 2 weekends.

Hopefully get out for a couple of weekends for spring tog before that closes at the end of April.

April 1st Flounder or Blackfish. Flounder not worth the time and effort. Blackfish i choose to leave them alone and let them spawn even though i believe they don’t drop eggs till mid May. Females are probably full of eggs

Shark River, NJ has some fish(confirmed). Heard be bloodworms were $32/dozen(not confirmed)....yikes!

Locally, by bunker and bass already seen in Jbay......... should be lock and load by the opener.

And so, it begins on the "North Fork" Took off the shrink wrap this morning got a few things organized and will give her a thorough bath tomorrow.

Then my typical long list of commissioning work with a planned splash the third week of April. Felt really nice enjoying lunch while looking at the harbor this afternoon!
