Some reflections on this years week at the derby:
Nothing better than seeing kids catch fish! Lenny's son Andrew had his first Albie on his first trip to the Island and my son Anthony and Tony O's nephew Zachary(best buds) had an epic scup derby!
Tony O is a top rod wherever he wets a line.(and his steak tips are remarkable)
Speaking of steak tips, thank you Derek for sharing your culinary expertise.
Ken, Ryan and Jimmy V catching their first 2 albies each.
total of about 40 man-hours in the surf, swimming/skishing, throwing eels all over some great water and we managed 7 bass in a 2 hour slot. Otherwise, the seas were barren.
Yes, Seabass do hit eels.
I went 2 for a zillion on albies, one on an Albie Snax, the other on a stetzko needle. Jim had a load of them but he never switched from his Pink hogy jig. I guess if it ain't broke.......
It's hard to imagine that catching a single 22" bluefish could cause so much anxiety.
Thanks to Jared for showing us one of his secret spots and to John and Bob on the wharf for some great bluefish intel.
