Ok Larry, Here it is.
Upon arriving in Heaven (read...MV) my friend and local Charter Captain told me that if I wanted to catch fish I should act like it was August and not late September. He was right.
Boat fishing is good but the patterns are more like late summer not Derby Fall. We caught a lot of boat fish but nothing of real good size.
The shore fishing is generally slow. It did seem to be picking up a bit the last week but it was way off from the last few years. A few days ago I did finally find a very hungry lone school of blues and as of right now I am holding 2nd for Flyrod Shore Bluefish. I was leading but gave the spot out to those in the house with me and Brother of board member "Squid Kids Dad" bested me by .12 pounds to take the lead. I am now his "New Best Friend"
All in all the fishing was slower than previous years but we at the house and MSBA members in general might be having our best year on the prize end of things.
MSBA Sec'y Sherry got a Daily and a Women's weekly for a Shore bonito
Fisherwoman got a Woman's Weekly for a Shore Bass, and a mystery prize
Chuck got a third place daily for a boat Bass
I got a daily and a second place daily for Fly Shore blues, a fourth place daily for all tackle shore blues, a boat grand Slam pin, and two mystery prizes (one for Fly and one for blues).
My brother got a second place daily for all tackle shore bluefish.
Brother of Squid Kid's Dad got a Daily and will probably get the weekly for a Fly Shore blue, he is also in second for the Shore Grand Slam and got two mystry prizes
Rod McC's son is holding second for Shore Albie
Like I said, we are doing ok on the prize boards but the fishing in general is slower than in previous years.
