Hit the Deep with RobPav aboard. Was a little concerned being right on the full moon, with a breeze from the ENE. Needless worries, the fish bit their heads off. Had to have put 60 units in the boat, with 5 true NY Rec keepers to 22". Sooo close to a boat limit (big deal, a whole 6 fish). Put back two 19" fish on the same drift among many other near-misses, which almost killed me. If they hadn't increased the size by that miserable 1/2", we would have been done at 10:45. Anyway, it does looks like my area is coming alive, finally.

By the way, I've stopped using bucktails entirely. The past few trips it's been solely the B/S rig carrying a 5 or 6 inch GULP! grub, with a suitable sinker on the bottom. Haven't seen a drop-off in my catching, and no more losing 6 bucktails (or more) every trip. Even with building them myself, I've grown tired of footing that bill.

Anyway, here's Robbie with our catch.

That's more like it, Lep!!
Still plenty of time to even the score with those crafty Fluke.
