    Overall, a satisfactory season

    Paddle fished nearly five dozen mornings since early June and towed home seven fluke and nine weaks, along with some cocktails and a kingfish. Yesterday I snagged a few peanuts yet could only get them halved by ravenous "almost cocktails." Decided to switch to a Krocodile and quickly caught...

    Backbay was on fire this morning

    While I only had one legal fluke, I had to have caught at least 8 short weaks and four or five short fluke. Thanks to the father of our MissingLink08 for stopping me from paddling past an area that was loaded with the weaks ! (without electronics I would have paddled right over them.) Would...

    "Windy" app ( ? )

    In the late summer I rely on wind forecasting the most since I will have a killie troll over the starboard side and hopefully a weak or fluke on a stringer to port. This negates my ability to put out a drift sock like in the late spring and still fish off the yak whether I am livelining a...

    P-Nuts work too

    Many thanks to the father of our MissingLink08 (WMHS) who graciously called me over as I paddled down the creek to offer me peanuts. Filled my killie troll, off to "my spot" and within 10 minutes had a weakfish dinner on the stringer. Followed up with a three foot dogfish, biggest I ever...

    Sacrificial snappers are the best !

    with just six keeper fluke this season, and none for two or three weeks, I fear I may not see another, but that is still more than I netted last year. What has made it for me is the weaks, on the snappers, and surprisingly, usually on slack tide. Have now taken home seven of the beauties...

    thin flounder filets

    besides what few weaks or fluke I take home, we buy a lot of salmon at ShopRite. SWMBO puts a dressing on it and bakes them. Delicious, as good as any restaurant which we always order when dining out. (These implants don't like steak !) But yesterday we decided to buy flounder and these...

    Weaks have been saving my late summer

    Have now taken home just one less weak than fluke this season. Nothing to brag about but doing better than last year. Got this guy (or gal) while drifting to my "third favorite spot", feeling lazy instead of paddling there. Very last of the outgoing, backbay, no wind, green flies. Livelining...

    No keepers but nice days

    Yesterday watched a skimmer fly at top speed millimeters off the water with his bill open. (My Hurricane is a Skimmer128) and I had never seen a skimmer on the hunt before. Actually except for untangling some ignoramus's discarded fishing line from one that was drowning last year, I had...

    any sign of snappers?

    Granted, haven't been out in two days with the AQ I and thunderstorms, but I also realized I did not catch a single blue or cocktail so far. Terns and cormorants seem busy with baitfish and possibly needlefish, but has anyone seen snappers in the canals and creeks ?

    another question and another small weak

    just shorts yesterday in my usual area, and that is what every boater that slowed to chat said as well. went out this morning armed with my usual pink and white Gulp! and bucks w teaser and nada for two hours of incoming and south wind. Drift sock hardly slowed me down. As the whitecaps and...

    just shorts and a question

    did get a small kingfish this morning and will grill it with the rest of the small weak from Wednesday and a remaining fluke filet in the frig. 3 shorts too but it was s l o w. Ougoing, west wind so drifting in my area was "diagonal." Hardly any weed at all. Question: terns were...

    Best backbay in decades for me !

    After hiding in the AC for what seemed like forever, got out for the last of the outgoing and the incoming. Less slipgut, light wind was southerly, not what most forecasted. No competition for my favored spots as all boats were heading to the air show (even though from years attending it is...

    Slip Gut and the heat

    Just wondering if this heat wave will get rid of the slip gut that had multiplied of late.

    could backbay be improving ?

    Granted, fishing from a bare bones yak it is sometimes hard to tell, but in three hours this morning had four fluke with one coming home for dinner. All on pink and white, the keeper took the homemade teaser with white gulp on the Lep rig. Still haven't bought bait since 2005 (sorry Billy W...

    Backbay may be improving

    4 fluke in 3 hrs, one at 20" all on outgoing and it was moving! also saw splashing at the mouth of the creek on the way back in but no hits on my Krocodile. all fluke hit either pink or white Gulp! the larger on on the bucktail w Gulp at the bottom of the "Lep rig." Very little slip gut, no...

    If you only catch one

    let it be dinner. One fish in three hours but it just "toed" the line. So far I am having little success in the backbay, and experiencing the worst early season I have ever had. This is only the second fish I have caught in 7 paddles. I see no bait in the water at the town boat ramp...

    Bass Pro Shops

    If the post on Farcebook is correct, Lawnguyland may be getting its very first Outdoor World at the old Sears Auto Center in Hicksville. I am hoping its a full size BPS. I wonder if they will sell any shooting or hunting stuff. I am also hoping its the beginning of the end for the dicks at...
