Whats up for the weekend?

NEED FISH

Have not gotten out since last blanking week :wall:

So what's up for the weekend?

Have been doing decent off my buddy's boat in CT. Tons of blues, ran into some top water action this week which was great, birds working everywhere, and some keeper bass in the mix as well. Don't see why I wouldn't go out again this weekend (I will). Other then that, chill out and clean the garage and basement (fun stuff). Prob. do a general inventory list for the fall run.

Ice

Getting ready for 2 weeks of tuna and shark.:fishin: Maybe do some bonito this weekend and relax at the beach.

birthday and beer drinking tomorrow :) Maybe try out the new waders on sunday :btu:

Day off today not sure what to do.Try for a big bluefish tonight been skunked for a few day's.Tomorrow drifting eels on the kayak hopefully dont get eating by a shark.Sunday dont no.

Supposed to be headed to the edge, but forecast is less than promising....

Fishing tonight into the morning.....

Wait'n for the weather to make up its mind. Would like 5-10 for a couple days to go where I want to go. In the meantime may break out the fly rod and pick away at some bluefish. Also make a few plugs.

Getting a first look at Darren Mcfadden and the RAIDERS , game on fox @ 8:00 pm :happy:
Rest of weekend,
burning diesel fuel !

fishing tonite, take a stroll through the Marshfield Fair at some point this weekend and eat some junk, look at all the people and watch my wife pet all the smelly animals :confused: probaly hit the beach on Sunday and read the paper...

Tonight will be spent wet-dry vacing the water from the basement. Tomorrow morning, if the house isn't floating is the nephws playoff baseball game. Better than watching the Yanks lose again(its injuries I swear). Then hitting the spot right down the block from my house for a ton of schoolies with a biggun mixed in.

I forgot to say there will be beer throughout.

Tonite - heading to bed now

Sat - tuna fishing with cousin

Sun - work picnic

Going out today (heard there's some good bait around), then maybe tomorrow, too.
Word has it that Mikey is in the depth of the western mass e coli scare, so y'all better stay away from the porta potti's in the ob's.
Later,
Rick

Cleaning up FCC after the monsoon yesterday. 6" of rain in a little over 2 hours can really change the landscape in a hurry. :whackin:

Better yet, how bout going to the zoo with the "big" kids? I'm giving Kimmy a break from us today. :^) Probably swinging by Bucko's to pick up my TE400 too.

Obviously you inherited all the brains in the family.

Today I didn't have to work, thank God. So I'll spend it with my boy. But tonight I'm going to a spot off the bay. To have a BLAST!:kewl:

Shhhhhh. I told him I lost that thing in the canal.

Obviously you inherited all the brains in the family.

:laugha:

It's great for casting eels......

...and plugs.. Or so I've heard. :^)

Ought to be perfect for boat eels.
Good reel for heavy shore plugging, too, but a major pain each time you dunk it.
For boat plugging the 400B is the way to go.
For shore eels I think they just use Clorox bottles.

on a ferry to an island right now..........

I do most of my fishing out of the boat and the TE is perfect for casting eels. They're strung up with 25 lb. big game on a couple of custom Calstars I received in a trade from bro Backbeach. I absolutely love them. They handle any size eel with ease and I can fire plugs with those combos, too.

400b? Is that the regular Calcutta? I think I've got one of those strung up with braid for Tog, Seabass, etc.. I'm not as crazy about it for Stripes. Used it for one season and switched to the TE's and TN 14's. Ever use the TN 14? magnificent piece of machinery.

I've no experience with the TN's. The TE is certainly a more powerful reel than the 400B, but at the expense of slightly more weight and a higher profile. I can believe it is ideal for eels and other big baits when used with a powerful rod. The 400B matches well with muskie sized rods and has plenty of power to handle any bass you're likely to hook fishing that way. I think the 400 casts a bit further, why I'm not sure. You can also palm the reel better which gives you better control over the plug. I like both reels a lot.

Muskie Rod(Rogue 7') is exactly what I have my 400b on. I love it for Tog.

I actually prefer the bigger profile of the TE's. They fit my Gorilla mitts a lot better than the regular 400 and I like the cranking power better. I also like the position of the crossbar better on the TE. I prefer thumbing the top of the spool when I cast, and the 400b gets in the way of my thumb.(again I inherited some Bear paws!) I've not seen the difference in casting, though I usually am not making really long casts from the boat.

If you don't mind manual line winding, the TN 14 is far and away the best conventional reel I've ever owned, though if I used mostly plugs, I'd choose the TE. What do you run for line on your TE's?

BTW- Weekend plans: Enjoy my new daughter, Molly. Born on Wednesday afternoon!

Oh man! Forget fishing reels. A new child, a bigger family, and a whole lot more love in your life. Lucky man, soak it up. :cheers:

Hey Brian! Congrats!!! What no thread to spread the news??? No pics of your daughter??? Come on man!:bl:

Congrats again to you and your wife Brian!:btu:

Well thanks for all the congrats, Guys.

I suppose I could start a thread.. Backbeach suggested the same thing to me yesterday when we took our two older kids to the zoo. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate, but if you say so..
