You guys are not going to believe this...IT BUSTED WIDE OPEN LAST NIGHT...BIG BASS ALONG ALL THE SO. SHORE!!!!

Just kidding...little change from when you were here. I just had to bust your chops.

I know you guys fished hard. The big name hotspots give up one big fish per night....no matter how many lines were in the water.

I have to agree with BP and others, the shore scene has been the worst since I lived here. And now the boat scene has dried up too. I will still fish it to the end. My hands are cut up to hell.

Anyway given the conditions a 17# shore bass on a fly is pretty sweet. BP is in good position...esp given the 40knot winds we are having which is putting the kabash on the fly guys.

I have had to go with the flow and fish the boat more then I would like...Yesterday I went off shore and put the kids onto 25 bluefish a few bones and albies. No choice. The squibby thing is over (al lest the fish that were there are gone IMO) I have been making the trip over to CH and the islands holes and have come up short most trips. Although I got my wife her first flyrod bass.

I will go tonight with the kids early and fish the lee and see if we can snake a daily bass after dusk. (when your 8 yo a 34" fish is nice)
