Wow nice fish -- the scary thing is that thing looks like a racer! I can only imagine what that fish would have weighed if it had a "cow" gut on it -- maybe would have been a 60!

My old Seafoam 23 seems to have gotten in on the action also. I hope my new ride raises fish like the seacraft did! http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...0818101922.jpg

I know what you mean Ken!!!! It's kinda like Boca Grande pass with hundreds of Tarpon and the fishermen going crazy. I stay away from mini season, three day holiday weekends, etc. it brings out the amature drunks........not to be confused with us professionals. :cool:

Is that the Race? what was the date? I was out there on the last day, and it was a ghost town compared to that chit-show!

thehermit 08-31-2010 09:58 PM

Re: Opening Bass Day
 
Nope not the Race. That pic was on the last 30 fish day (thurs-from an SF18). Here's another looking back on Chatham taken earlier in season from my 23.

Heres a couple of how it looked the week before the season when the fish were feeding on top and no "sharks" were around.

Heres a pic of a "shark" in the Chatham sunshine ;)
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...c/GEDC0307.jpg

I dont know the exact species [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] but it appears to be of the non bent rod variety. :o The arrival of these "sharks" caused a big stir in Town with the Town fishfathers. Oh yea and there was a Classic SeaCraft reunion every Tue Wed and Thur for 2 months. These boats sure can fish ;)

NAT...thats is one BIG fish!!! Please forgive the blue boat in advance for following you around next year.

Couple of videos from the 23 seacraft off chatham in June. One shows the striper porn-acres of air breathing stripers-all keepers. about 3-4 miles off chatham. Prob the same schools that went deep for bass season and Tim has some in his shots. The commentary is courtesy of a friend, true irish accent from boston :) and another friend. Mind you were we trolling bars so we did not want to catch stripers! Evry time the schools swung into the bars they always hit the long center rigger waaay back. Thats why friends come fishing-to work the spread :).

striper porn off chatham on the surface:

Later the same day C&R a 65"inch bluefin-swam it for 10 or so and released. Only have shots of the swim, 2 much excitement to film the fight. Note commentator(not me) is incorrect you need a 73" to sell(or at that time to keep as trophy if rec):

I've never seen a school like that ever!!! Amazing footage. looks like it was past the 3 mile mark . . .

natchalkley 09-30-2010 06:18 PM

Re: Opening Bass Day
 
the first time we went out this year it was rediculous. at any time while we were tuna fishing we could see 10 schools like that all around the boat!

rockdoc 09-30-2010 07:37 PM

Re: Opening Bass Day
 
It was sick. I've been chasing stripers religiously since age 6 (46 years!) and I have to say that to see this many keepers and NOT want to catch them was a new one on me. And this was inside the 3 mile line, but we were in and out chasing tuna so didn't keep any bass. (I was the one running Josh's boat, trying to avoid the stripers)

"Grasshopper" here has NO IDEA what he's stuck his foot in now!

Bigshrimpin 08-14-2011 10:27 PM

Re: Opening Bass Day
 
I'm trying to get back to one seacraft. "nausetblue" is no grasshopper . . . He's just busting my balls . . . Mark has been fishing that area for 25 years (one of the few people that can limit 30 fish everytime he goes out).

BigLew 08-14-2011 10:35 PM

Re: Opening Bass Day
 
I stand corrected. Nausetblue, there is a seacraft in your future, I would venture to guess. Unless you already have that base covered as well.

Regradless, welcome to the monkey barrel. Always room for more!

Anyone that sticks it out for 30 in that sh*t show is the man...at-a-boy. So many SeaCrafts out there. That and 13' whalers with a fish box strapped to the front :)

We are able to catch more dog fish and skates than possible :),not not sure thats a good thing. John we fish with wire mostly over there and try to stay away from the crowds. Look forward to meeting you out there next yr. Mark
