1st trip to block island
 

So weekend before last we dragged my Carolina classic 25 down to RI and headed towards block. (Actually we went right by) 1st stop was the horns area in search makos...after 15 gallons of chum they were not cooperative. ...ended up boating close to 20 blues sharks.
So after 12 hrs of sharkin we headed to blocks south west ledge. Got there about a he before dark and caught one after another sea bass... (shortys) then once the lights went out we switched gears and broke out the eels and we were rewarded with bass 25-39 lbs including my new personal best 39lbr.... we each kept one bass.....overall great trip
Boat goes back to the Merrimack this weekend :/http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j8...628_212233.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j8...628_212333.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j8...629_140616.jpg

Both me and my bud ( he got a 32lb fish) admitted the fish was actually not great tasting ( haddock spoils me).....last time I keep a striper that big. Next time I want one for the grill a 28-30" will fit the bill.

sounds like a great trip. Sweet

I'd like to make a trip out to the bouy this year. Hoping i can buddy sytem with someone.

Was that an invite?

I'd love to do this, but timing with me can be a royal PITA. I'm VERY interested though.

i'm in

Lets figure out a weather window, and some solid reports in the next month or so and shoot some PM's. Im pretty flexible and can fish alot (sales).

how about a 2nd boat in trail Safety in numbers we can leave from Newport

yup, and if everyone catches and I dont, i take a couple steaks.

Where's the bouy?
Probably next time I get down that way I'll be headed for the canyons....a bud of mine fishes there a lot in his 31 Cabo and I'm gonna follow him out in my carolina......never been before.....

What happen to that get together down your way BB? Would make a good buddy up dry run.

Nice trip Jason

I am still in for that Bay meet up this Sat and Sundays weather
looks outstanding, Time and Place? some place that splits the bay in the middle easy for everyone I think its easier to just set the date and go if you can show you can show . just a thought

Agree with you on eating sized bass....

Nice trip, Nice ride. But you need to move an hour closer to the water.....

haha I hear ya but unfortunately im deeply routed here because of my business. hence the reason I usually fish out of the Merrimac....its a lot closer.

me too

i threw it back out there but the intrest level seem to die. Im not much of a planner anyway so let me know and ill be there. During the week is actually best for me. But lets throw it abck out there.

Let's move this back to the dark side
