that would sum it up. just make the fish 8-11lbs for me.... whats the canal?

:sleeps:

Maybe next year...been very busy w/everything besides fishing so far.

I don't keep logs but my best year ever ,. Just hitting it right .. even stopped fishing a few times it was so good . Starting to hit them good in the Yak now .

Probably the same fish I'm catching but it has been so long since I saw a 20 lb'r I've started lying to myself.

slightly bigger than usual this year
 

fish seem slightly bigger at my locations compared to previous years. last two weeks i've been out have produced 15-18# fish. i only get out once a week if i'm lucky.

this year i'm really catching some smallmouth bass fever throwing tubes and senko's at spot pond. a trip to PA fishing the susquehana river got it going for me.

Removed the skunk last night with my SECOND :wall: outing of the entire season with some assistance, thank you sir.

Gonna finally get the boat out tomorrah, been a nasty spring, but not as bad as the last 2 years

I've been two times so that consists of 4 nites and done well for NH, no 20 # fish yet but teens.

Struck out last night...still smell like dead macks..wife said "you suck at fishing"

Out for the traditional start of the season weekend at Cutty (coaching high school lacrosse and work eliminates spring fishing) and put my son on a mess of fish. Seemed like every time I looked over his light was on unbuttoning a fish up to 36" or so. I meanwhile caught two, one dink and one personal best. Hope the rest of the year is half as good. Actually I just hope I get to fish a bunch the rest of the year.

Nice! I don't feel so bad with my dinks , 2 teens and a blue for the season! This is the least amount I have fished since I started though

Narragansett Bay has been unreal for 3 days. 1, 30 3, 24 - 25 and I have lost count of the high teen fish. All on live bunker. I switch over to a single Gami 9/0 rather than a treble as I am releasing almost everything.

I love the de-skunking spot, I want your son to pull a 30# from there this season. :jump1:

1. What did you catch them on? (i.e. what is a bunker?)
2. What spot were you in. Please PM me lat/longs #'s
3. Whats the water depth?
4. What was the wind direction?
5. What was the tide doing?
6. What color shirt were you wearing?
7. What size motor does your boat have?
8. What are pogies? are they different than bunker? *See #1)
9. What leader material were you using?
10. What kind of rod and reel?
11. Can you teach me how to use my GPS? (See #2)
12. I'm scared of the dark.
13. Where are you getting these bunker things? Can I buy them? Do I trap them?
14. Can I buy some pogie traps at Benny's?
15. what is 'tide' anyways? I only see water moving at those breachway-things.

Paulie...
you are more patient than I am.
Each of those messages would have gotten a two word response that sounds a lot like a CeLo Greene song.....
Lesson learned, huh :D:D:D:D:D:D

You're killing me!!!!:rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:

boat fish certainly count when you're talking numbers like that. Me..I think I'm gonna take up golf.

I can't believe either tha balls or lack of "Fishing ettiqute" to just PM someone you don't know and ask for details...
next think you know people will be trolling for details on schoolie reports.... :smash:

sounds like a rant from a jealous surfcaster. Someone needs to catch a fish. :uhuh:

Nah.
Been there, done that. Spent countless nights in my 13ft whaler catching bass. I prefer terra firma for bass....

I'm talking about the random PM's he was getting asking to share intel...

just busting

i do lessons:devil2:.(shameless personal plug) makai im still waitin on you:soon:

Out more than normal and done completely sh%Ty. Now I'm totally frustrated.

have 1 20lb fish. that's it. Probably fished 5-6 times, but two of those times I had a migraine. This is the least I've fished in probably 8 years, but I'm hoping to turn it around in a couple weeks. My folks got a place in Jamestown the week leading up to the full moon so I'll be crashing there. hoping for a big fish...

Buddy and I were just saying the best spring in years. Hit them hard today and celebrating in style. Love it and can't wait until 0300 tomorrow!

Ive only been out twice and im 0/2 on those trips.

Been a difficult year to find the time. Right now, I dont even have the urge to fish, which is actually somewhat beneficial.

Relatively new to all of this with last year being my first serious season. I am not surprised that my log shows more fish and bigger fish to date. Numbers can be easily skewed by 1 or 2 off the chart nights.

I will say that the fishing in May/June has been harder this year. Last year's patterns have not held up. Not sure what to make of that

Fortunately, I am able to get out with friends and enjoy it.

God I love this sport.

Been skunked all month..no fish,chunking and plugging..my buddies getting his boat ready...he's been promising a trip for a while..good excuse to bang in sick to work

Not so good. I've only been out to BI once. Prevoius years all of my biggest fish came out the first week of July so hopefully ill have a better response then.

Great annual trip in early June to the ditch for me. Fished with family and friends. My three day total was 12 keepers the smallest bass was 32" and caught my biggest bass to date, a 48" 35 pounder : ) and one blue fish. Hope to make it back in the fall. Tight lines!

Over 100 fish. Starting to get into a few bigger fish. Looks promising
