First bass for the season
 

Took a little after dinner romp with the kids looking to see if the blues were in and managed to get a fiesty little striper. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Perfect weather, FAC, beautiful sunset.
Hey John R, do you think I brought a camera?
Well let me think......NO. Dam I dumb! [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]
Nice little striper with the kiddies would have been a kodak moment. Oh well.

Dude - you're a PHOTOGRAPHER! That's like a deviant forgetting his trenchcoat! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] - Give a man a girl's job.... Get pics! Pics with kids are great!

Hell, I got my first bass 3 weeks ago (holdover) but skunked once since - once the water temps went back to 42 the brakes were on for another couple weeks - that's 42 F for you Floridians... Now this damn oil barge that leaked 15K gallons of #6 in the Bay which is going to screw everything up. Actually kinda sorta thankful its been cold and slowing the migration, might have saved a lot of fish if they get cleaned up quick...

Hi Mark, come on up. We'll have some fun and do some fishing.
By the way, how's your home/boat construction and baby sitting skills? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] You could plan on staying awhile. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Hey Finster, I gonna be putting the 19 in soon. I'm going to keep it at the Tuckahoe Yacht Club(a real swing place). I'm going to be running out front for flatties in a week. I'll give you a ring and see if your free.. Ever been 30 off in a Sea Craft 19, the Bass Barn reef is looking pretty PHAT.....

Cool, I'm there. I've done in a Grady 19 with extra fuel littered around the deck, but that was back in my smoking days.
Hey, did you find out yet boy or girl? We found out today were having a girl. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: First bass for the season
 

Yes we did.... But I'm not suppose to tell anyone.... think the CSC members can keep a sea-cret ?

Re: First bass for the season
 

I think that would be a fairly safe bet.

It shouldn't be too far off for you guys up north.

Fishing really came to life this past couple of days. I have heard stories of fluke, weakfish, bluefish, drumfish and stripers. Fluke were caught mostly around the Graveling Point area and in Marshelder Channel and in Little Sheepshead Creek by anglers who were focusing their efforts on stripers or weakfish. The weakfish were caught in Little Sheepshead Creek, Marshelder Channel and Grassy Channel. It's nice to see that the big weakfish have shown up along the banks in Little Sheepshead Creek on time this season. Quite a few anglers lined up along the banks of Little Sheepshead Creek, just past the fifth bridge on Great Bay Blvd. this evening, so the word is out even before Scott's web page told everyone. I just hope the anglers do a better job at keeping the area clean then they did last year. The one bluefish caught was overheard on the VHF radio by one angler telling another angler that he had a bluefish. The intonation of his voice indicated that a bluefish wasn't exactly what he wanted to see on the end of the line. Stripers are still being captured on Graveling Point and Pebble Beach by anglers using both clams and bloodworms. Vessels anchoring off the Point had success on clams today too. The hot herring drifting spot around the 120 marker is turning out it's fair share of bass too.

Re: First bass for the season
 

Yeah.. things are warming up. Stripers in the low 40's are starting to be caught in the Del Bay down south so the 30 pounders should be in a few days. I'ts gonna be a real zoo this weekend with all of the charter boats starting and the first day of fluke season on Sat. Great bay is going to be a parking lot. I think i'll hide this weekend in my shop and wax the motor on the 19... Hey Chris if you still want to do the bow rail on the Aquasport, I'll have some free time in a few weeks... oh and it's a boy.. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
