Thanks for the update, we are in a 30' whaler.
I think we are going to check it out, be nice to get some sea air even if we don't go far.
Much appreciated.

The Bay....snotty and ugly water. I would not cross. Want a fish this afternoon....HITW is like a lake.

(actually I would cross...hahaha...you will get bumped around though)

 

[Pippen]

It's rough here....thank God the beer is cold.

 

[Eastmon]

What the **** is going on?!

Worst start to the year since I've been fishing here. Nothing but undersize. If that!

Never complain that you have too many small fish it can always get worse-much worse.

I see what your saying. But all these little guys are good for is breaking the monotony with false hope.
If I can't fight them then eat them they are no good to me.

Got a weather update advising of winds intensifying tomorrow afternoon.
Anyone going to fish the morning? Was really hoping to get my old man on the water this weekend.

spent 3 hours at hitw again today. found a huge bait ball in close to the ferries right against the shore. so thick that the rods would bounce as we trolled through them.
one undersize and 5 or 6 cod to show for the efforts

By 'action' do you mean legal fish or shakers?

Had a rookie on the rods and lost a few legals and one was a nice one. "Reel fast and don't give it slack" and "keep the tip up" didn't resonate.


BTW.....all REAL action on bait, spoons burped up one p-cod.

 

[the fog ducker]

Think he is on a 30 pursuit like Bishy but might be wrong Felix... You hear much from the rabbi anymore, I might have the wrong digits.

Nah....was helping a buddy on a 33' Grady who was taking some business associates out that he does work with. I was the gear ***** yesterday....at least they grabbed their own beers from the cooler.

Ha Pip. You should have grabbed the rod and set the hook for the newbies...

I don`t get it.....why is it that you give the newbs two very simple commands and yet they still cannot seem to grasp; keep the damn tip up and no slack, reel as fast as possible when that happens. Lost two good one last weekend for the exact same reason. They seem to start out ok, but after about 2 minutes the rod is damn near on the gunwale and they have stopped reeling and are watching the rod tip saying `I lost it`.........At that point my only response is `yeah you probably have`.......
