great day on the bay

put in at taylors point today then went through the canal and trolled umbrella rigs over towards sandy neck till we hooked up and kept trolling over the same spot we ended up with 2 stripers the biggest 33in and 5 bluefish the biggest 11lbs then we went over to sandy neck and sat out on the sandbar (there was a 20 MA on the sandbar too)

Damn nice stripper, wear that thing out brother you derserve it after the trip home.

Do you guys not have Sea Tow or BoatUS up there = kicker?

BTW a 155 Igloo fits perfect against the splashwell for a big fishbox/cooler

i put the kicker on there incase i broke down but i was having an issue of the motor only getting spark when it wanted to and the marina couldnt figure out the problem for 2 weeks so to be safe i got seatow went to pick up the boat the next day and they found out that mourning that it was the power pack so the motor runs like a champ now.

I havent gotten skuned yet on it and i hope it stays that way.

i need to get a big cooler i throw all the fish in the the floor hatch on top of the anchore and umbrella rigs and bumpers and it a pain, but all of my money goes towards gas

Hey Bass,

Was that you trolling on the Bank yesterday?

If so, did you hear the air horn?

Yes, I'd say that was a good day.
Nice catches ... I'm just a little green with envy.
One of these days, I'll learn how to do that too.

Who says there is no fish in the bay when the water gets warm? HA!

Yes i was on the bank, but no luck with tuna. I do not remember hearing an air horn

We were drifting live ones on ballons for tuna on the Bank when we saw you approach.

My buddy said "you better reel in this guy is headed for the long bait." I said "don't worry he will see it, besides he is in a Seacraft, maybe he is going to say Hi".

1 minute later: Buddy says "you better reel in". I say "don't worry"

1 minute later: Buddy says "you better reel in". I say "i am reeling in as fast as i can!, Sound the Air horn!"

Chop ... chop ... cut off.

Check your prop, you may have some nice floro leader wraped in there.

sorry about that I had my cousin (12yo) driving for a bit while I replaced some of the soft plastics on my umbrella rig for later and I looked over the side and there was a ballon(red if I remember correctly) like 5-10 feet from the boat. I think he learned a lesson when I was done yelling at him

. Did you catch anything? I only saw one guy catch one and he was using live pogies. again im sorry about that

Figured something was going on as you were closing in with plently of free water around.

We had 2 hookups but chaffed off after two short fights. Then tried a fresh crimped up thicker floro leader on a red balloon ... you know the ending.

I retrieved the balloon with hopes Flouro/swivel/bait/hook would appear, but nothing ... dam that Floro is expensive.

Oh well, played chicken to hold my water space and lost. Should have listen to my buddy.

Get your cousin to an eye doctor!
