Hit the usual Haunts yesterday with a couple of really nice fellow's who were brushing up on some fishing skills.

Picked up about 50 bass yesterday, some were small "I mean very small 1/2 twinkies" LOL. But between dodging thunderstorms and wind twisting directions on us, we didn't pick up any blues. We had just gotten out on the bar, Baitcaster hooked up and dropped his and the other fellow had just gotten a chase when the wind went from SE to off shore and pushed the fish right out. SO we headed up to Onset area and picked up a few more micro's and called it a day. At least we had some fishies pulling the other way!!!

JohnR, see you this coming weekend, hopefully this weather will turn around.

ChrisL, Good to hear from you, things have been busy. Hope too hook up with ya soon.

SLipknot & Clammer, nice pictures guys, glad your getting into those bigger fishies!!!

Jenn, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??????

Yup - looking forward to this weekend FW - I'm heading down Thursday night after work and you?

fisherwoman
glad to hear your into fish even if they are small at least they tug . this has been one strange weather pattern we have been in . I went local here and nothing but alot of salad . enjoy

John R, your not going to be around next weekend, Friday night is looking good right now/see how the week goes/ while digging today the guys were catching on chunksof menhaden, wonder if it was fresh or frozen, world of difference for me/gotta check things out// later

Hey FW & BC...went back this morning early....Squid kid and myself caught about 30....nothing at onset at all...strange...a couple of 25"...bigger than yesterday..lol...then again anyfish would have been bigger than yesterday...went down by herring run at the canal saw a couple of keepers brought in...
NO PAIN!!!

Spent all day yesterday moving 6 yards of loom and cow crap, because I'm moving my garden and making way for more grass (reads less weeding). Then dog tired, I made the mistake of picking up a circular saw to tip the tomato stakes. Had a bad kickback and I didn't quite clear my left arm...ouch. Luckily it was a nice new blade, clean 1/4" wide X 4 inch cut and maybe only lost the top 1/8 inch of skin and substuff...not much pain or blood. The worst of it was the 2 hours in the emergency room waiting for the 6-7 stitches.

By the looks of all the mackeral off Cohasset yesterday, along with a few nice fish and some larger seen; I'd say it's about to bust wide open up my way. I ordered a freezer today to replace the busted one and that's coming Thursday. I plan on filling up both livewells Saturday with Mackeral, which should get me through the year.

Tight lines.

GS - you got lucky there with the saw. try to be a little more careful this time, would ya? (And he wants me to go in a boat with him :P )....

GS, Yikes! you are lucky it wasn't worse, don't ever ever have any body parts behind a circular saw and don't trust that the guards on those things snap back. I have personal experiance with the guard thing.
Don't worry John, he knows his way around a boat, just try and see if you can outfish him and you may have trouble being invited back :)

FW, I saw Clammers' pic. but there isn't any of me ??? must be a case of mistaken identity.

Saw an ad in This Old House magazine a few months back for a device that manufacturers can add to their bench saws...it's a sensor that can tell when somebody gets a finger, hand, etc in the blade & stops it in a nanosecond...showed a demo with a hot dog & dammed if it didn't kill the blade before it cut more than 1/64th" deep...just past the skin. Pretty nifty & they say a manufacturer can build it into the saw for around 200 bucks. Can't retro-fit them, though...I'm looking into it because all it takes is one mistake & zzzzztttt...
so long, finger.

Slipknot, I wasn't reffering to your picture sorry, must have been the sycho typing, but about you breaking in the new rod, congrads!!!

GS what the hell are we going to do with you!!! glad you are ok, was it your casting arm or retrieving arm?

FW, oh, ok thank you! You sound like you've been busy fishing as well. I guess I missed out on the blues this year.

GS I guess you really did get lucky.

Slipknot congrats on breaking in your new rod the right way.

Fisherwoman, keep up the good work...
