Specialist. You have to pick a day for a boat ride:D

I'm workin 1/2 day sat. then off sun/mon.

Got Sabiki ????

If not this weekend then soon.:cool:

No real plans, although I do plan on launching in Scituate (weather permitting) one of the 3 days and do some scouting, fishing, more engine breakin and hopefully put a bunch of mackeral in the livewell. Anyone had any recent reports on the location of good sized schools of macs in and around the south shore or outside Boston?

Friday night I'd love to knock off work early and hit the flats, but I'm not sure I want to even attempt a run at the cape that afternoon, no doubt the traffic will be backed up for miles. Might check the tides and do an early morning excursion instead.

Got all the manure, peat and fertilizer all worked into the garden today, so at some point over the weekend I need to get some things started. Hope everyone has a safe and productive weekend.

Lets see.
50 Lbs of eels
200 lbs of mackerel
600 fresh Hearing
200 fresh pogies
20 flats of sea worms
5 gal of sea clam
96 box of Squid
30 lbs of Lg shiners
20 lbs of med shiners
1000 carwlers
50 lbs of sandeels
and a partridge and a pear tree ;) :D :D :D :D

Think I got enough :smash:

....don't forget the Taunts....head past the new structure they're developing ;)...and don't forget the ol' one they're replacing...:)


.....my guess is that a lot of the LARGE have moved upward in the river.....:)

Looks like fishing with John on saturday... sat is perfect for me dude.

Wife and child are outta town till Sunday afternoon, so will be out in some form or another Sunday as well...

Monday, I have to take out my cousin's fiance in the am prior to a cook out with some family.

Funny thing, a few years ago, when the wife was out of town, I'd be thinkin' bachelor weekend!..."this is my chance to go out cruise for some chics man..." Now, I'm like, "this is my chance to fish the whole freakin' weekend man..." As cool as my wife generally is about my fishing, she can get a bit edgy when I try to push it too much.

Oh yeah, and a pre-game warm up tomorrow afternoon down at the Cape hoping for one big bluefish blitz.

Maybe I need to figure out a plan to fish friday night... that would be 5 straight days... :bounce:

Block Island this weekend. I cannot wait.

I am heading down to the flats on Thursday after work. I think it is an 11:00 PM high, so 6ish could work well. Staying in Dennis until Monday night. Will be hooking up with Fisherwoman and BC before Saturday down there.

Got a nice 9.10 oz. blue on West Dennis Beach on Monday night. It was like the Vineyard as the school moved down the beach with everyone hooking up at the same time.

GS and SM: look forward to seeing you on Thursday night. I am hoping it will be better before the Holiday weekend crowds get there. I am also thinking about a run there Friday morning, depending on how Thursday night goes. I'll be in a blue Blazer with an red and orange rod rack. There will also be a pretty blond in the passenger seat.

Topwater

blue blazer huh I usualy just fish in a t shirt

Going to Joisey/Philly area to visit family. Rather be fishing. I hate these long drives on holiday weekends.

How could I forget, RI Fluke season opens Saturday, will have to also make at least one trip off the cottages at Matunuck. :p

Gonna spend some time at the canal this weekend..Hopefully gonna catch me a biggin striper for my birthday..:jump:

IRL... booooo... bad one.

Scary that was my first reaction too. I was picturing someone fishing in a powder blue sport coat. I have a questionable sense of humor though.

Seriously, Topwater, I'll keep an eye out for the truck. I'll probably already be on the flat. I should be in the area right around low tide... hope there's bluuuuues out there.

I will try to get a report from FW and BC before I leave for the day, just in case they have found a different hot spot. they shoud be able to give us a good idea.

I guess I have to proof read better while at work. Blue ,red and orange don't even match.:D

I am hoping they have a few Robert's Rangers on the raffle table tonight. John are you going? I lost my parking space in town so I am on the T.:mad:

Topwater

Denis, Coles & Lees my favorite hunting grounds years ago///

Made good money out of those three rivers /////

Fishing tomorrow late day night if I can get buckies.if I can,t I.ll wajt togo plugging in the evening////
same deal Saturday am
The Tug boat has room if anyone has a interest -----PM



;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

C-ratt We have to hook up soon This weekend ??
I may be doing sat afternoon with Specialist if your up for it ??

I was striper fishing the gut from my boat last week and was getting COD:smash:

Friend Pete & I hooked up for a few hours with FW/BC on their usual flat, but it wasn't happening tonight. Should have been here yesterday or aren't you ready to leave yet Bob, were the only comments :).

Pete nailed a 19 inch fluke on about the 2nd cast after just starting out on the flat, hit one of my 7 inch split tails. I nailed 2 blues right after and then 2 more further out on the flat, then it just died. Lost 2 more that I never really had hooked up well and that was it. Too bad because they hit them there good last night and the conditions were better if anything. In case you haven't heard this one enough "I guess that's why they call it fishing".

I'm still hoping for one more crack at a decent blue/flat blitz, so you might see me tomorrow, then I think it's time to start up in Scituate and hit my spots and look for mack's.

Schoolie Monster you going to be out in the boat at all this weekend? If so let me know which day, maybe we can meet up and I can get you your plastic. Owner has shipped, so I'm hoping to be restocked very soon.

Maybe its an every other day thing there and tonight will be killer. I'm hopin' 'cause like you, GS, I want to put the Cape behind me and focus locally.

It was just nice last weekend to wake up at 4:45am and be on the water by 5:30 (including gasing up the boat & car) rather than waking up at 4am to be on the water by the same time. Plus, when I was ready to be done, I was home 25 minutes later.

I'll be on the flat tonight and if I don't see you, I'll be out on the boat probably every day this weekend. I'm definitely launching Sat and Mon... hopefully fishing with John-boy sat and then some "celebrity fishing" on monday with the fiance of a family member. So I'll figure out a way to find ya... if I don't see you tonight, we'll figure it out tomorrow.

Schoolie Monster - I'm going to have to bag this weekend. Long story but the short of it is, someone's really pi$$ed...

I hope to get out locally for a few hours a couple nights over this weekend...

...One of the sights, hopefully NO-ONE will see on their way to the cape this weekend...:D:D

....I was given a doll, a few years ago...the "Moon Chucker"....ya squeezed a rubber ball, and down goes his pants...


....a GREAT tool too lighten up the highway "Road-ragers"....no matter how angry someone is....they'll be smilin after they get the moon....;)

PERVERT! :laughs:

Hey - ya finally got a truck :bshake: http://www.striped-bass.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/moon.gif

John, I wouldn't even know who you're talkin' about...:)

Well, I'll be available Sat/Sun if anything changes, just give me a call. June weekends are a disaster for me, but maybe we can both, ahem, bag a day and get out...

When's that msba boat tourny? We gotta get out for that... hope you have a good weekend.

FW will know better than I or maybe GS if he went last night but it may not happen this year for some reason. Or it may be smaller and happen later in the year. Too early to tell - great tournament though...

Hmmm, bag in, eh?

....:rolleyes: :smash: ....you mean that doesn't look like my Maxima??...:laughs: :blush:

.....back to the drawing board >>>:gf:

Well I'm glad I decided to join Schoolie tonight, because altough there was a slack period after the initial flurry early on, the end of the night was a rush. We nailed some 10 blues each early one and then the slack hit and you really had to work for one here and one there, but then all H*LL broke loose right after the wind picked up from about 15 to 35. It was a fish a cast for about 1-1/2 hours or until we were just too tired. Actually I was too tired and S.M. was just too wet, man you need to wear a rain jacket at a minimum bud, you were like a fish out of water out there :). I even took a few at the tail end, because that high wind really kicked those waves up a notch or two. I had a ball tonight...too cool.

You would think after last time, I would learn, but there are those that would say I'm a bit scatter brained about these things. I left straight from work so I packed the night before... I even debated stoppin' at the house to pick up my lightweight rain pullover. Traffic was brutal so I skipped it.

Bad move... it really took away from what should have been a sweet night. After taking a few waves early, I just was off and everything was a struggle. I couldn't concentrate... I felt awkward working my lure (how hard is a ballistic missile to work), awkward fighting the fish, landing them. I'm so mad at myself, that I looked thru the catalogs last night for a few of those cheapo travel pullovers to store in both of my cars and the boat.

I still had a blast, but by the end, I just wanted the heck outta Dodge. GS, maybe I'll see you out there on the water this weekend and thanks for the baits... that's going to be THE color dude. Tomorrow, am, I will be slaying fish on those on the harbor.

Also, hung around a few minutes and bs'd over a cold one with Topwater and his wife. Thanks for the brew, it helped shake off the shivers. Best of luck to them this weekend, though I doubt they will be reading this.

In closing, man, those are just cool fish...

I sure hope I can find the schools of blues this week. I really would like my wife to partake in a blitz.

I'd have to agree with you guys, bluefish are definitely one of the best sport fish. There's nothing like fishing a school on topwater in the summer. :D I plan on getting out this year down the Cape and chasing some schools in Dennis. I made the mistake of taking some home last year, I think I'll stick with the kippered snacks! :p
