i dont think I saw a single peanut last year. They were scarce around these parts. Wonder what this year will bring. But I havent seen any as of yet.

Saw a small school a few weeks ago, never to be seen again.

It's not looking good once again this year.

Butterfish are here though, so for now, that's our deep bodied baitfish here in Newport.

Saw them in the canal earlier this week. Not many. Small herring are most abundant there.

Their in on the southside of Falmouth. A lot more than last year (doesn't take much to do that). Hopefully they stick around.

Yup, me and Danny T went out with Komes this morning on Shack Attack

We got into some bones and boohoos on Coxes and they were spitting up 2-3" butterfish, 5" squid and what appeared to be small herring

BTW, Joe - we hit BI first and got into bass and I hooked - and lost...:mad:..a real nice bass on that black Wobblehead tube over the SW side

We were trolling red tubes and getting gorilla blues on them so I swapped out to the Wobblehead tube figuring it was a closer match to the sandeels, put a 1 oz egg ahead of the swivel to get it right down on the bottom and under the blues - and bang!

I was using that stout JK Fisher boat rod I picked up from Back Beach last Fall that I showed you and it bent it in half - man, I was bummed when it came unbuttoned, it was a helluva nice fish, couldn't move or turn it when it first hit

Ya know - that damned Wobblehead rigged a bunch of different ways has gotten me more fish this season than anything else in my bag - glad I took the tube version out with me this morning

Thanks, Uncle Joe...:kewl:

Boy, you old guys really know your stuff...:laughs:

Triple 300 supercharged Mercs...:spin:

He was gonna get 4 but Reggie Fountain talked him out of it - I guess you have to figure that during turns the outboard engine on the other side is gonna be spinning free and a leg for them runs $8K or so...X 2...:shocked:

She does pretty good on 3 - 50 MPH at 4200 RPM, from the dock to the Block in about 25 minutes...and unbelievably quiet

Hey, like the king of clams said, it's better than sex 'cause it lasts longer

Hell, I'd be pretty disappointed going on a 3 minute fishing trip...:rotflmao:
