2011 season comes to an end.

Hauled the boat out for the winter. We had a great year fishing with old and new customers. A trip given to honor our veterans was quite memorable and will now become an annual event. Thanks to those who donated food, fuel and bait to make the event successful. See you in the spring. Have a happy and safe holiday season.

Vets Day Trip successful

Despite the howling northwest winds we set sail at 0830 after having coffee supplied by fellow veteran Dennis L, aka clamdigger307. Set the hook in the inlet and tossed out clams and eels. Clam bait and chum were supplied by veteran Robert W., aka robertskywalker and the eels provided by good friend Jim D., the morichesmonster.
The clam was hit right away but only on for a short burst. We managed 2 keeper bass, 3 short bass, 1 keeper cut off at the boat and a handful of skates.
The fishing wasn’t great and the winds were terrible but the company was excellent.
Thanks to John(USCG), Ron(USN), Warren(USA), Nunzio(USAF), and Manny(USMC) for making this trip a real pleasure to provide.
Thank you to all our Veteran’s for your service. We plan on making this an annual event to honor our military men and women.

 

Two in a row

Took an hour longer to limit out today. Mort and Todd out for their final trip of the season and they weren’t disappointed. Four keepers, a few shorts, plenty of skates, and a missed fish or two, kept them busy today.

 

Good Morning Fish

Out at 7 am with Mark and his son Nick. Wasn’t long after setting up that the first keeper was boated. After a few missed mish they managed to boat three more keepers to limit out for the day. Back at the dock in two hours. Fish were in the 12 to 18 pound range.

Great Fishing

After cancelling Harold a few times we braved the wind today and were rewarded for our efforts. 4 keeper bass boated for Harold and his son Conner within the first hour and a half. Cancelled afternoon trip because of winds in excess of 40mph

 

Full moon slow down

Full moon shut the fishing down this weekend. Out of 13 bass boated only managed two keepers.

 

Quality fish today.

Mike and crew had a good outing today. Boated three nice keeper bass. Two in the mid twenty pound range and one just tipping 30 lbs. Clams still working well.

 

Looking like fall

More big bass over the rails this weekend. Outgoing tide has produced more than the incoming, but still quality bass on both tides. Time to get out here for the action.

 

Saturday morning bassing

Big bass are here

Fred, Mike and Angelo

Angelo and crew back out oday for bass. Angelo lands the first bass at 30″. Mike slams into a 41″ bass tipping the scale at just over 30 pounds. Fred follows up with a 34″ fat bass. Only one more hit and miss for the day.
