Got out Friday after work with my daughter and a couple of buddies. At the ramp @ 5pm.
Drifted for fluke around Ashroken. Tried 4 spots up to and around Eatons and only found sea robins. Switched it up around slack tide and trolled mojos up to 11B, nothing doing for us or anyone else it...
I'm ok with a slot for Tog...16-22...something attainable. Anything bigger, take a picture and send them back.
Our spring season is a month, and its 2 fish, and usually its based on weather so changing NY Spring season is not doing anything.
A limit on the spring season down in VA is another...
After an initial shakedown cruise 2 weeks back, and a few short togs, the DREWSCREWS was back in action this Sunday with fellow Amigo Fish4Me aboard.
Only 1 of the 4 fingers at the ramp was accessible at 7am, with full moon dead low. Motored out toward Eatons and already found the fleet...
Well sad to say the Scion that my daughter had got to 168K until there was some bumper love and the insurance company totaled it. She is now driving a used Jeep Liberty and wishes she still had the dependable XB. The Jeep has 160K on it, and runs well, but the check engine light likes to come on...
Got out on thanksgiving morning with my daughter Ally...she's been itching to go fishing and having her home from college is more than enough reason. She has been asking for more responsibility regarding the boat this year, so I figured a quiet thursday morning is a good time to have her drive...
Gave it another shot on saturday morning. Had my neighbor and John "Fish4Me" with me to see what was still around. Always a pleasure to have any of the amigo's aboard to rehash and laugh over old shananigans, as well as making new memories.
Expected a West wind 5-10 for the am. Broke the inlet...
Gave the tog another chance on Sunday. Waited out the rain and broke the inlet @10:30 and was rudely greeted with 2-4 tight chop.
Scrapped my plans to head across to the CT side when I couldn’t make more than 10 kts without slamming hard. Plan B was a close area around Eatons.
Found a nice spot...
Another question to ponder.....
When using spot lock for night time chunking bass for example...am I using my red/green nav lights because technically im under power, or should I not confuse those around us and use the anchored white light?
I use the white 360 light to avoid night time...
Got lucky to find a replacement motor for my ride. Quick trip to VB to pick it up, spent a few days last week removing and installing and Sat was sea trial day. Broke inlet @7:30 with my son and daughter onboard. Stopped inclose and drowned some crabs for shorts well as a keeper tog and cbass...
Nice....surprised it took that long for the big boy to kick.
We've all seen tog flopping on the table hours after being put in the bucket.
Congrats on a great day of catching!
