when out for a test run yesterday to make sure everything is ship shape for sunday ( fathers day) . the boat ran fine and everything else for that matter. started off trolling a niner rig in the harbor on my way out to the mackeral grounds and all of a siudden WHAM. i picked up the rod and thought i had a 30#er on the line and ended up pulling in 4 schoolies on the same rig. thought i had a real nice fish for a minute or two. didn't really fish only for an hour or so it was more of test for the boat. i called for s-b members on 69 but didn't get a reply. i saw a guy with a trolling motor on the bow pulling in a small schoolie and i went over to him and said " schoolie monster ? "

schoolie, i think you had mentioned that you have a trolling motor on your bow. Anyway the guy said "no it isn't a monster it is a small one " so i realized it wasn't you. anyway did catch one fish in the 32" class on a yozuri squid lure didn't find any macs and returned in.

Kav:

4 schoolies x 8 lbs ea. = 32 #er !!:happy:

Congrats!!:D

Are you thinking of heading out this weekend? Weather looks bad with the NE wind. I may stay home.
Finally got the boat in the water last weekend right up the river from you. So of course now the weather sux.:mad: :af:

Mr. Kav, You find any bait up in the bay yet ?

I was up there this AM still no bait around there.

One small bass trolling white cd18 on lead core.

plus some flounder.

I'm off friday thinking of doing an overnight...:D

well how was fishing the harbor this weekend. i never went yesterday because my father wasn't really up for it. i am thinking of going tonight after work looks like it is going to be a nice day.

van,
i like your math but unfortunately i think the total was under 20lbs. oh wait i think i could have got it to 32lbs if i weighed the fish, the rig and the 5 gallon bait bucket ( full of bait).

mako19
how did you do?

bass master
i was saying s-b s-b s-b, at least i know it works i will be more specific next time. Were you anchored up in front of the treatment plant ?

striper1

the only bait i have caught so far is out of the harbor, there was quite a bit out in between hardings ledge and " b " bouy. last thursday on my way in i did mark 2 different schools of bait by wessegusset and the other at the split of the four and the town rivers.

Kav:
I went out for a little while sunday, but it was later in the morning.
Lots of birds were working in front of wessagusset YC. right around the "GO SLOW" sign. There were quite a few boats there already, and with the increasing traffic it seemed to drop off quickly. I would bet they did well early in the morning before I got there. I trolled a bit NADA. :mad:

Then I tried to go outside, the swells were huge just outside the gut, so I went back to the marina and did some work on the boat.

I planing to go out tomorrow. The seas should calm down by then.:rolleyes:

Mr. Kav
06-17-2002, 08:05 AM
Van, are you going out in the am tomorrow? i am thinking about going out a few times during the weak but i don't get out of work until 3:00pm.

Kav :

Yes, for sure tomorrow, starting at 6am. I will probabaly be back in by 3-4 pm, my son has a 5pm baseball game.

Wednesday is the MSBA meeting, so I might go out again Thursday after work that would be around 5pm tides should be good.

Steve: Tough crowd !!
Besides work only interferes with fishing time !!!!!

I tried SB SB SB yesterday-no answear, but when I did MSBA MSBA, I got Mike B. He was fishing that area I mentioned in the last post. There was a lack of boaters yesterday anyway, but that's a good thing !!!!:D

Mr. Kav, no that wasn't me... "no its not a monster, its a small one" That's pretty funny.

I was out friday and saturday... friday, I monitored 69 for different periods during the day.

I was out again sunday, and monitored for awhile. Alot of running though, so I probably would've missed anyone broadcasting.

I'll post a report in the "reports" section.

Great day out there yesterday. I did reach an MSBA member on the VHF. That proved to be beneficial.

Check out my post in striper talk.
Great fishing day.

Kav: did you get out after work, I saw some prolines out there later in the day. One had twin mercs, i think.

Mr. Kav
06-19-2002, 12:27 PM
VAN, yes i was out there, but i have twin white evinrudes. i was out at b-bouy for a while and didn't come back in until after dark. realised two fish last night 32" and 36". caught on live macs

Good job Kav:

Did you get the macks and bass out at the B or in close.
In close is where I got some yesterday.

Mr. Kav
06-20-2002, 06:29 AM
Van, i got them out in the 70 ft range i was trolling and that is where they hit so i started jigging for a few minutes and got a dozen or so. i did mark a few small schools in the fore river on the way out but i wasn't rigged to catch any at that point so i kept going and waited tilll i got out there. The bass were near hardings in about 40ft and the smaller one in about 15ft.

Van

Nice:
I could only get a few macks also. We caught fish at Boston light and Allerton. A guy at my marina was out tuesday at the graves and got several shorts also.

I intend on going out this weekend (hope the weather holds up).

Mr. Kav
06-20-2002, 09:09 AM
I will be either out friday night and into the wee hours of the morning or first thing in the morning saturday. i think saturday should be a hot one so it should be refreshing to be out on the water. i hear that there might be thunderstorms on sunday.

KAV and Mike:

I am cutting out of work early (like in 1/2 hour) and heading for the boat. Probably stay out till near dark. Will either of you be out there??

I'll also be out saturday most of the day.
