with a weather forecast like this past weekend, and threads like this, I can't say I was surprised to see the amount of boats at the ramp in Galilee this weekend. Trailers parked at least 1/2 mile down the escape road on both sides.

zacs 08-17-2015 10:47 AM
btw, not complaining, just an observation.

this is certainly my favorite time of the fishing year!

Zac you know better than fishing on a weekend with those winds.

denis 08-17-2015 11:59 AM
Ramp is like that most days.Nobody works anymore.

But most are at BI,lots of big trailers.

Was that you in the yellow CC? You went right by me as I was in front of the avenues. White CC with blue top and side panels.

I hung out for another 1/2 hour and they didn't. I went back up the bay and went scupin'. Ended up with 2 hubcap Scup and a 4.5# Fluke. I was happy.:bounce:

I expected a Sunday crowd also and they never materialized.. and I fished from 5 am till 1pm and covered some 40 miles .. Newport Harbor was a different story at 1pm when I went back to the Ramp it was a mad house ..

Likewise.... we saw the birds and bait and had been catching bluefish all morning.
I was taking a break and told my wife to take the helm, i sat down and closed my eyes, told her to be on the lookout for more birds feeding.
A few minutes later she said " I keep seeing funny looking white waves"
Keeping my eyes closed I said" stay away it could be rocks"....then it hit me..... i jumped up to see pods of bonito all around us crashing on the bait. Cast into them with a 2 oz pink Jig-it and hooked up right away.....man what fun.

Add a codfish and we call that a RI Groundfish slam...

I got one last year!

bassballer 08-20-2015 12:00 PM
fought some tough conditions this morning but we found them in the fog. Man these fish have been on a feeding mission. Big feeds. Stuck 8 bones then headed back in the slop. 5-10 my ass. I was soaked. Hard east blow. Still fun though.

3 from the rocks one day earlier this week, but should have had double that if it weren't for #^&#^&#^&#^& line. The fish were no where to be found this morning. Time to scout around again.

Not sure addictions should be praised, but thanks. :D

They've definitely thinned out since the wind change from the shoreline 'down there'. May try further east or a bit further west soon.

Anyone seen an albie yet? Bonito may be good to eat but Albies r way more fun to catch

Tog and Albies will be missed this year with the boat sold, but will kick in gas if anyone needs a mate. Working only Wednesdays and Thursdays now so free to do a mid-week on another day.

I fished SoCo Sunday afternoon and didn't see anything at all. A few pods of bait barely being molested by birds. Nice getting in some day time casting practice.

I worked extra last week and am off this week, if you need a partner I'm available Thursday.

Is this August or mid September? Acres of bass, blues, and bones yesterday. Huge schools of Macs and mullet. Had a bass,blue,bones slam yesterday and still left them feeding. It really has been a kick ass season.
