Sorry
 
Hey guys, boat hauler called me about an hour ago (thought he forgot about me) and wants to try to squeeze in my haul out for later tomorrow.
Sorry.

looks like it's yankee fleet boys. if you want to go book a ticket.

I may show up, depends on what I end up doing tomorrow. Are you guys planning on doing the 7-4 or the 6-3?

If I can't make it, I hope to go next weekend... Anyone who can't go this weekend can meet up next. :buds: and fresh fish at my place afterwards

it's a 7 o'clock boat tomorrow. if anyone else wants to go just call and book a spot. as of this morning she said the boat was not very busy for tomorrow. for those who havn't done this before - these fish are super aggresive. as long as the captain finds a pile the fishing is lock and load. they hit anything that moves, grow to 30#, double headers of nice fish are pretty common, and fight like big bluefish.

Good luck tomorrow guys. Family party to attend so I can’t make it.

Was fishing down in LI for stripers - so did not get back in time, let me know how the trip went, should have been a great day.

niko 11-29-2010 07:12 AM

had a good day. plenty of pollock out there. ended up w/ 18 fish. lumpy out there - the guys on the bow were getting bounced around and soaked. bite was hot as soon as we made the first drop. blue dog hung around and munched a few fish. mate's spent about 4 hours cutting fish. my shoulders and arms are still sore

awesome - any size to them? also, is this fishery on as long as seas are safe, or will it be winding down for the winter? have travel next few weeks/weekends but hoping it might be available in a few weeks

biggest for me was around 20# w/ most in their teens. saw a handful of fish in the mid twenty pound range. yankee does trips in dec but i think you need to sign up for a e-mail/will call list. historically there is a pretty good winter bite. last spring there was a nice spring push on the bank. we were on my boat last may and catching them on light tackle - screaming drags on the abu 6500's. pretty fun

We had a day this past spring catching them on top water. Insane non stop bite !
Couldn't put a jig down 5-10 ft without doubling up.

Had very bad experience with Yankee. Waiting to hear
final word from owner. Cannot recommend them to anyone
Details to follow.
