FISHING SEASON 2K10!!!!!!

/5/30/'10/
Saltwater, deep sea/bottom fishing, on the Sea Queen VII, out of Sheepshead bay. Fished about 3 hours, with travel time deducted. The Fluke (Summer Flounder) fishing is en fuego... I caught 8... but they are all shorts. I caught one keeper, which went back anyways. Only one Black Seabass caught on the whole boat, which was kept, at 11" long. I'm really worried that they are being overfished. In the last 2 years, I have only seen one or two that were over a foot. In years prior, it was not unusual to see 6 pounders coming up. Anywho, my arm was hella sore by the end of the day because the only rod I could find is my little freshwater spinner, which has about a 6" handle. Not enough to wedge it under my arm to gain extra leverage in a fight. And you need that extra leverage with Fluke. They fight like heck, and they either turn sideways while being fought to use their flatness like a parachute or they just burry in the sand. Fun trip.

Thats wats up!!
 
SPots fished-1

Time fished-2.5 hrs

Fish landed-I-2/Kyle-5

Went out to "Rosedale" a couple hours before dark!

The fish were NOT very active, well not for me anyway. My nephew beat me and he was on the phone the whole time. I casting non stop with the buzzy, popper, spinny, and the inline, NOTHING. He is just throwing a little stupid worm and caught a few little ones. As the sun set I finally was able to land two on the buzzy before we bounced!

Very slow day!!

Fish landed-I-12/Dennis-7

Last Sunday was so good I couldnt wait until Saturday to return to "Mercer Lake"!!!

About 10 mintes on the water Dennis looked over and said "see that wake out there", I looked and said "yes I do". We made are way about 50ft way from the huge wake being made about 10ft away from a ball of bait fish(shad). My first attempt was with the buzzy but it only took one cast for me to know that wasnt the ticket. So I pulled out the spinny and whipped it about 60ft and ripped it in, then I repeated but this time I got the pleasure of seeing a MUSKY(40"+) straight murder the spinny!!!! The fight didnt last a good 15 seconds when the spinny came flying out :cry::(:irked:. Man I blew it but I fished on, landind a few bass and one very big crappy. Dennis did pretty good today landing some bass and a couple Y.perch. My co-worker came out about 2 hrs before dark and Dennis started the show off with a MONSTER 4.13 that smashed the buzzy!! :headbang2Sandy seen that and said "give a me a buzzy too" , He went onto land his first ever LMB on it!!!

The bite was kinda slow but they did what they were supposed to do and that was turn on right before dark!!

Fish landed-I-11/Dennis-8/Jeff-4

Jeff(fellow MFK'er), Dennis, and I started out at 8am on "Carnegie Lake"

The bite was alot slower than I expected but after a few hours they slowly picked up. Dennis got most of the decent fish today and Jeff was also able to land a decent one too. I did my thing too but the big ones just werent that active today. At 4 Jeff departed and the count was 8-6-4, I was up!!! I landed three more and Dennis got his final two of the day after. At one point we were chashing schools of shad tring to fulfill are MUSKY dreams but no takers :irked:.

I landed more but Dennis had a better day in my books!!!

Time fished-4.75 hrs

Fish landed-I-8/Dad-10

Dennis tried his hardest to get me to take the boat out today but I planed on giving the wife some time today. Well thats not how things actually went. Around 10 my dad called and said come on out to the "Delaware River" with me, I rolled over and she said "go ahead Ill be fine"

I always wanted to go smallmouth fishing on the Delaware but the targeted fish was stripers. I tried a few lures but the style of the day was two hooks on the bottom baited with shrimp. We landed all catfish beside one white perch pops landed.

Out of my norm but I still landed the biggest of the day!!!!!
