Peanuts Anyone???
 

Is anyone seeing any peanut bunker out there this season as yet???:huh:

i dont think I saw a single peanut last year. They were scarce around these parts. Wonder what this year will bring. But I havent seen any as of yet.

NOPE ...just sand eels ><><

same here sand eels, small herring but no peanuts yet

Saw a small school a few weeks ago, never to be seen again.

It's not looking good once again this year.

Butterfish are here though, so for now, that's our deep bodied baitfish here in Newport.

none here at all in matunuck. same as last year. i do wonder.

i remember 5-6 years ago there would be massive blitzes on peanuts. not anymore...

We have them here on LI. The ones on the north shore are about 1.5 inches.

Saw them in the canal earlier this week. Not many. Small herring are most abundant there.

Seen some in the river but not anything crazy.

Their in on the southside of Falmouth. A lot more than last year (doesn't take much to do that). Hopefully they stick around.

Funnyfish nearby?

A little thin in the peanut department but...:)

That picture seems to find its way on to this board every year...

hahahah

I remember like 3 years ago you could walk on the peanut bunker in mackeral cove. Havent seen it since.

i saw peanuts too

Any PB in haba??

got quite a few butterfish the other night. good size ones

Yeah we finally got peanuts in Newport !:happy: I was lucky enough to be in a boat today whackin Albies on //guess what? They were spittin up tiny peanuts ,inside and outside of Narr Bay.This is great news because in addition to the tinker macks and sandeels,add this to the mix and it is setting up for a nice fall.:jump:

Yup, me and Danny T went out with Komes this morning on Shack Attack

We got into some bones and boohoos on Coxes and they were spitting up 2-3" butterfish, 5" squid and what appeared to be small herring

BTW, Joe - we hit BI first and got into bass and I hooked - and lost...:mad:..a real nice bass on that black Wobblehead tube over the SW side

We were trolling red tubes and getting gorilla blues on them so I swapped out to the Wobblehead tube figuring it was a closer match to the sandeels, put a 1 oz egg ahead of the swivel to get it right down on the bottom and under the blues - and bang!

I was using that stout JK Fisher boat rod I picked up from Back Beach last Fall that I showed you and it bent it in half - man, I was bummed when it came unbuttoned, it was a helluva nice fish, couldn't move or turn it when it first hit

Ya know - that damned Wobblehead rigged a bunch of different ways has gotten me more fish this season than anything else in my bag - glad I took the tube version out with me this morning

Thanks, Uncle Joe...:kewl:

Boy, you old guys really know your stuff...:laughs:

Crafty went boat fishing? Good lord, what is this world coming to....:huh:

That's not just boat fishing, it's rocket ship fishing.

How many outboards on that thing Crafty?

Boat fish count! Boat fish count! Boat...oops, sorry - lost my head...:laughs:

He was gonna get 4 but Reggie Fountain talked him out of it - I guess you have to figure that during turns the outboard engine on the other side is gonna be spinning free and a leg for them runs $8K or so...X 2...:shocked:

She does pretty good on 3 - 50 MPH at 4200 RPM, from the dock to the Block in about 25 minutes...and unbelievably quiet

Hey, like the king of clams said, it's better than sex 'cause it lasts longer

Hell, I'd be pretty disappointed going on a 3 minute fishing trip...:rotflmao:

crafty has gone over to the real dark side. 3 300 hrs. mercs?

Muuuahhhhahahahaha.....:devil2:

Nah, I'll be back on my rocks tomorrow night, Eddie
