Well , Just got back from Poett Nook , was there for 5 day's , fished 2 of them ,first , the camp was EMPTY !! Never seen it this quiet.The day's were warm , nights were frosty. Thought I'd give up my sleeping quarters to my Aunt and Cousin , I would sleep in the boathouse, in a nice warm new 4 man tent, with a real comfy blow up mattress . Was fast asleep , when , around 1:00 am, I was awoken to a loud crash , opened my eyes from a dead sleep , thought that this was a little odd , no wind , rain , fairly calm quiet night , slowly dosed off again , minutes later , was awoken to heavy breathing , sounds of a bag being torn up , my tent pinned up against one side of the boathouse , was being pushed and bumped fairly aggressively. I now went into complete hysteria , started whistling as loud as I could , Screaming for my cousin to come out and help me , there was something extremely large outside trying to enter my boathouse , Randy came out with a large flash light, and real loud screams and yells to help move our intruder away ,I now came running out of the tent , B-Lined it straight to our RV , grabbed my flashlight , poked it out my door , to see a huge , big , fat Black Bear staring at me like a Raw Steak , Let me tell ya , My heart was pounding like never before . Man was that bloody Freaky !! As the weekend went on , sleeping comfortably in my RV now , with my family , My tent will never see FD near it again . Wow !! Turns out their were alot of Bears around trying to feed on the vast amount of large springs swimming around the Nook . This is from the fish the camp raises and releases out of the marina each year I believe . There were alot and they were huge , you can see them swimming in schools all around the shorelines , especially at low tides , no ideas boy's , these fish are dark, Ugly , looking to spawn !!
So , Fishing , We did get out twice , we fished the wall for a few passes , nothing , no bait , no marks of any sorts , headed out to 6 mile , hit a 15 - 20lb Hali right away , then hit a feeder of around 8-9 lbs , made a couple o passes at 7 mile , hit another nice Hali right away , trolled for another 1/2 hour , moved to Rats Nose , water was flat , no boats out at 6 and 7 , only 2 others at Rat's . anyway's , we hooked into 4 more nice Hali immeditely , hit 3 more nice feeders between 8 -12 lbs as well , all Hali's were caught on the " Turd " including 1 feeder !! ( Great Hooch ) other fish were on Army Trucks , Glo Flo's 5.0 Coyote's and Anchovy , chrome green heads , Plastics were favored !! Second day out , we again went off shore , this time only to 6 mile , for only one wild 12 -13 lb Coho , on a Coyote , 42 in. leader as well. All and all , weather was great , fishing was better tha expected , we did lose a nice spring close to the boat that was close to 25 , maybe 30lb , real bulldogger !! My aunt felt terrible !!It's all good.Oh Yeah , Crabbing was great , man were they firm and tasty !! This will be my last report this season , back in March , are any of you going to fish the march derby there !! , Let me know , I heard it's a blast. Did not take to many pic's this outing , but , I did kinda like this shot ,
Take Care , Talk soon , FD
