We know and we understand, just thought turn out would be a little stronger. I KNOW there are a lot of people in tough straights, especially as of late.

Also know turnout would be better if I had an extra clone to do more work :tooth:

Nice job, numbskull and JLH. Way to kick things off. I went left where I should have taken a right. There was a decent school of small fish harassing some small bait, but there was too much weed in the water for my lures to be effective.

Join the club. I've never started the season off with 3 skunkings in a row. At least last night, my fishing partner caught a couple fish. I had 2 on that I fought for a few seconds before they got themselves freed. I guess I'll blame it on the crushed barbs rather than my own ineptitude.
Not sure when I'll make it out again, but I'll keep giving it a try until I land one.

Having never entered a tournament like this before, I learned that taking a one handed picture of a thrashing schoolie in chest deep water in the middle of the night is a bit of a challenge.:uhuh:

I forgot to add, I said f'it after awhile. The cause is why I entered anyway. I think we CT guys have an unfair advantage this early, anyway.

& your not even sure all the fish that have been caught are [fresh] ...... the holdovers [Hudson river Fish ] leave also & go further up the coast ; & your resident summer schoolie is from the Chessie & there are only drips & large :wall:coming from there .

Yup. I suspect these fish are from the northern rivers, not the Chesapeake yet. Had a friend kill a 30" fish yesterday....it was full of eggs. If it had been from the south I think it would have spawned......or already been dead. On a brighter note, he got into plenty of fish with his flyrod so maybe things will pick up.

The atmosphere completely changed last night. Water not moving as well and NO BAIT, NO BAIT, NO BAIT at 3 separate locations. Desolate. Not even the slightest sign of bait. :wall:

Went yesterday after work, wrong wind, and the tide was too late, managed to have one fish blow up a pencil 6 feet from me, and not land it.

So far just two fish.

Hopefully get out tonight after work.

Thanks to John, Greg and everyone who joined. It was a fun week and I wouldn't have gotten out as much if this wasn't going on. Congrats to those who caught and those who tried
. This was for a great cause, and best of luck to Greg in the 9K, thank you for your service. Hope to see you all out there somewhere this year.

John really deserves the credit on this.
Without this site and the tourney site this wouldnt have been possible. I can barely get onto websites nevermind build them.


Reflecting on this tournament I noticed something unique. I noticed this tournament was different than all others I have been in.
First of all I noticed everyone seemed to have a good time participating. No gripes, complaints or bad taste in anyones mouth. Everyone fished however they normally would have. other than getting out a few more times. No fish were harvested. People posted there skunkings. People were hoping for a micro sized bass. lol.
And most of all everyone seemed to have fun.
Refreshing to see it happen this way.

#6 - Sat night/Sun morn was an incredible calm night on the water with FISH EVERYWHERE. I think they were on clam worms or shrimp. They were finning and breaking all around me for 2 hours and I could only manage one landed and dropped two. I wish I had a fly rod. Great tournament guys Thanks. 6 fish total 26" to 34".

I am one of those kids who needs an ed plan and adult guidance (as those of you in the politic forum already know) so forgive me for messing this up... but it looks like we put our tallies here (?)

I had 4 fish one night witnessed, but no photo. 3 fish unwitnessed another night but photographed (i can upload those photos this afternoon). Also, one big skunk in the wee hours of sunday morning to finish it out.

Grand total for 3 trips = 7 fish :smash: things better pick up down here :)

I had 6 fish during the tourney but only have proof (photos) of the 3 I already put up.

Fished a total of 5 nights (around 10 hours total) with two skunkings. Fish ranged from ~22” up to 35”.

fishbones
05-09-2011, 10:29 AM
I ended up with 9 total fish all from the same general area in a span of 3 hours. I didn't take real measurements in order to get them back in the water quickly, but 3 of them were past the 28" mark on my rod. The rest were all about 17 to 22". I had a blast even on the nights I went out and got skunked. It was fun and for a great cause.

Kudos to Greg and John for putting this on for us and for all the behind the scenes work.

All and all I think this tourney was a blast, honest and fun.

Only got out twice for a total of ThREE fish, only got a pic of one.

Let's do it again when some bigger fish move threw.

Thanks again John and Greg.
