Got out Friday after work with my son and neighbor, getting to the reef around 5:30, high slack. We tried drifting over the productive area we found the past couple of weeks with the light north breeze but all we managed was shorts.
Broke out the trolling motor and recreated the drift that...
My son got called out of work early Saturday AM, and proceeded to twist my arm to get on the water, knowing that he was headed back to Maritime on Sunday.
The weather wasn’t great with a steady NE 10-15 and outgoing tide making the LIS sloppy around Eatons Neck. We tried for fluke for a while...
Headed out of Westlake Marina at 4am aboard Double D Charters with Capt Dan at the helm along with my daughter Ally, and son Andrew, her boyfriends JJ and a few others. Perfect condition with light northern winds.
We came up on the building fleet around 5:30 am and sent the Tuna jigs down...
Had a shot to fish on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Only had 2 hours so we stayed close to the inlet and fished at 40 feet. The conditions went from pretty good to lake Loing Island Sound. We had decent action with a fair number of shorts, and the jig did some damage getting 4 out of the 5...
After getting the Rhodan trolling motor back up and running on saturday afternoon, we went back out on sunday, breaking the inlet later than normal at 10am. We stayed on the LI side with the 10 kts SW wind that was supposed to pick up as the day progressed, and it did.
Incoming tide and 40 ft...
Wrenched on the trolling motor on friday night without any luck. The steering motor housing itself was detached from the unit and no amount of creative garage engineering would make it hold up to the demands of the motor. So my neighbor who was helping offered to take his boat because he has a...
Took advantage of Saturdays nice weather and shot across to the CT side again. We arrived in the middle of the incoming tide and the big fish were there and hungry at 20 feet. First ten minutes had a pair of 20 inchers in the box by my son and buddy Ed, and within the first hour we had 6 in the...
Broke the inlet @ 7 am with Tmac, Billy, Rich and John (Fish4Me). Cruised across the calm LIS and set the spot lock at 15 feet at Sheffield Rocks. It did not take long for Rich and John to start the party on board. Slack tide and jigs put a pair of quality keepers in the box. Billy followed soon...
Got out early Sat AM with my daughter Ally for her belated Bday trip, along with her bf JJ, his sister Courtney, and my son Andrew.
Broke the inlet at 7am and took the ride across the 2-3 foot LIS with the NW 15-20 wind. Much nicer conditions on the CT side of course, and first stop was the...
Got out twice this weekend!
Saturday was a Three Amigo's trip with Fish4Me on Koz's ride along with my son for a trip out to the Middle Grounds, east of the Lighthouse. Spot lock kept us glued at 30 ft and we had instant life as the tide was near high slack. Mike started the day with a quick...
Had plans with my son and neighbor for saturday morning opening day, when my son asks if his GF Charlotte can join us. I was hesitant because of the looming forecast with building east winds sometime in the early afternoon, but I said sure. Soon after my daughters BF who is a mate at captree...
Finally back on the water.
Went out for a quick after work trip on monday with my son and his girlfriend. Planned on heading to the Nissy, but the swarm of diving birds by Crab Meadow diverted my attention. Went sent our fluke rigs down from 12-20 ft at high slack, with the decent SW wind...
We were thankful to be given one more chance this past weekend with BlackFish Friday.
Got out with Tommy and JJ, and had to be careful as I was loading the boat as the Thanksgiving rain turned to ice and made the deck challenging in the dark as I prepped the boat for the 8am leave.
Once we...
Got to sneak out yesterday for what seems to be one of the last rides of the year on my neighbors boat.
Water temps 53 degrees, fished in 30 ft. Slack into incoming.
Wasn't lock and load but it wasn't bad either. Plenty of shorts, with more micro shorts in the mix. Finished with 2 keepers, a...
Did it again on sunday with some good friends. We got out @10am and the LIS was a bit confused as the incoming was still pushing with the decent west wind, alittle sloppy but not bad. I thought about going across but with last weekends big fish fest over here, I settled on the LI side at 40...
Planned an early Sunday morning trip. My daughter Ally who worked all day Saturday had to choose between a Montauk trip that leaves the dock at 6, which means out the door by 3:30 or my trip that I wanted to leave at 6am. I thought she was nuts for skipping the Montauk trip.
With the forecasted...
Sunday, fishing by 10am. Incoming with a decent NE breeze, but not bad.
LI side...40 ft.
Fish right away, with the occasional keeper as the tide slowed. Non stop action through slack.
Wind dropped totally out and tide switched and the bite slowed a little even with the outgoing building.
Called...
Just another Wednesday at work, took a few minutes to go outside in the early afternoon to enjoy the beautiful warm weather and stare at the barely moving treetops. The owner of the company catches me outside and says “Wow, what a great day, we should go fishing!”
Ok boss, you say the word we...
Broke the inlet by 8am with daughter Ally, JJ and their friend Paige who has never been toggin. Resisting the urge to try my inclose LI side spot knowing the west winds were going to turn hard NW, I motored to the Sheffield Area in CT.
Crabs went down, and togs came up. Took Paige a while to get...
Got out Sunday AM with my daughter Ally, Fish4Me, and buddy Billy. Dropped in at 7:30 and cruised the flat LIS to the Sheffield area. Set the spot lock on a 15 ft hang.
Green crabs were instantly hammered every drop down. I was able to use a 1oz jig as the incoming was just starting. Within...
