wish I was there Joe :)

and ya, too much information, wait another decade or so:uhuh: and keep on :fishin:

The fishing was good for me this week.

monday 12-430am
tuesday 12-330am

it was so bright i didnt need my lights for anything. no clouds anywhere.

lots of fish, nothing over mid teens but numbers wise, great. monday was big blues and smaller stripers mixed in, darters and redfins absolutely crushed, lost my mojo darter after three consectuive hook ups, :( fish took it around a rock on the reef, oh well.

Thought i had an albie on at night but ended up being a tail hooked striper, must have came up and over the plug and managed to get the single hook in the meat at the base of the tail. put up a great fight.

tuesday was more of the same, fish every other cast, lots of short hits, bigger fish and no blues.

no bait at the spot i was at, but lots of spearing around.

dark over light colors were the hot ticket for plugs.

overall a good two nights of fishing, and also not another person out, hit 5 spots on my way to my desired location, ghost town, I love fishing at night. :)

There is only one gripe I have about a bright full moon... when you get them in close, large fish (30 to 50+ pounds) love to duck under the boat and hide in the shadow. I'm positive that most people know that is the last place you want to battle a fish, especially when "bottom" is only in two feet below the skeg. It makes for some very tense moments when these fish hold bottom behind the transom and/or continuously dart diagonally to opposite ends of the boat while the angler has to run around the deck like a dog chasing it's tail.

God I love the full moon!!!


...Joe does own a surf belt. It was put to use under the same bright conditions two nights prior. We were casting into exactly the same type of water. We were just standing on the opposite side of the waves.:tooth:
