Why schoolies? Rick at FR had a 40" brought in a few days ago.
Decent size fish are showing up locally :D

I'll be out somewhere sometime this weekend, in between my son's little league games.

Toe tugs r fun

Hey Moses, didn't I meet you the other night on the beach in Wareham, you were talking to my brother Don. You said that the night before, you landed a bunch of schoolies using ..... lures... :)

My son and I will be fishing the Westport River tomorrow. He has been a bit under the weather, hope he is better tomorrow.

I'll let you know how we do.

Going out in the A.M. on Sat. First time of the year, can't wait!!!:happy:

Thats my brother Tom in the picture, you most likely met him. We do look quite alike and almost always fish together. I have a goatee and he just has the chin scruff. Next you see him, ask him if he is the brother of Moses.

probably run into you sooner or later down there.

No more beers. I hate beers, man...

Headin to my honey hole in CT. tomorrow as soon as I get up. I think a couple of us have a good shot at breaking 30 this weekend. These fish are fat!

I agree about breaking 30# this weekend... some of the fish have been pretty close in size and weight.

Yeah hopefully on can bottom out the boga.

too bad i dont have a boga :(

I do where should I meet you :D


old Canal joke couldn't resist :smash:

:D Bart- next week at you know where;)

thats what i like to hear

Me and dad fished i got six he got 1 .. here is the best one of the
day

BTW we were the first people there than they all came like crazy.

ML, what time did you catch them? I fished at 8:30 AM. I was thinking if there is a possibality that the fish will arrive in noon to now...if you did catch them in noon or daybreak, then I was stupid enough to leave the Cape early.

that fish was caught about an hour ago.

dont use poppers try some rubba or some bucktail jigs.

The day finally came today for me to go out on the Redfish charter I scheduled a few months ago. The weather down here has been FOUL all week, and I didn't know if the trip would happen. It rained all day yesterday and most of thursday. Thunder storms like you would not believe. Some places got more than 8" of rain. Anyway, I start driving to the boat this morning and there is nothing but FOG. No rain, but thick fog. I get to the boat and the capt says we will give it a shot. The fog did lift as we were driving to the fishing grounds. First stop was a man made reef to catch some croakers for bait. We used shrimp to catch the croakers. The beach is almost featureless. The water was only 18' deep about 2 miles out. It slopes very gently until 10 - 15 miles out. This is where the oil rigs are. We didn't fish that far out today. There are still quite a few storms brewing out that far. We were able to pick up a few croakers so then we proceed to a drop off about another mile or so out to live line these bait fish for the BULL REDS. While fishing for bait I hook into a black drum fight and land him after about 10 minutes. This fish was around 30 #. I was landed on a 12 # outfit. Remember we were still fishing for bait. What a thrill!:bounce:

I am watching the depth sounder as we aproach the "drop #^&#^&#^&#^& This area drops from 19' to 20'. Yeah that's right - a 1 foot drop off. That is considered a drop off on such a featureless bottom.

We start live lining these croakers and all we end up hooking are small sharks. Mostly sand sharks, and one bonnet head shark. It looks like a hammer head, but with a rounded head. We do this until we run out of bait again. So we start fishing for bait again with the shrimp on the light rods. No sooner do we start with the shrimp, but I hook into somthing significantly heavier. It turns out to be a 33" Redfish. Again about 10 minutes later it was gaffed and photographed and iced. And yes it tasted good tonight.

I took pictures, but don't have them to post yet. When I get them, I will post them.

What a great day!:happy:

What a night!Destroyed'em tonight!Aquidneck Island is hoppin'.
They might've been undersized but was there lots of them!!!

Fished my usual early season haunt down in the Wareham area today from 930 - noon. Schoolie blitz was going on which was quite fun. A couple of shore fishermen and 1 boat with two guys in it. The boat guys were hooking up on what seemed every cast. My son and I hooked up quite a few times also, biggest one being 18 inches.

Amazing how good that feeling is and how bad we've all missed it during this past winter. Tight lines everyone!
