Bristol Harbor
Sun going down tried the mill gut stream after a heavy rainwith an out going tide. Threw on a small 3/4oz gags popper and caught 27 schoolie bass between 17" and 27" and 1 keeper at 30"
Upper Bay
From mid august till 2nd week of october catching blues everyday with my light tackle rod from 6lb blues all the way to 14lbs with an occasional schoolie bass.
Broken Bridge Portsmouth
Fighting my biggest tautog ever getting me stuck in the rocks after giving up and trying to snap my line feeling the fish still there and knowing he was a big one. 23" 8.5lbs personal record.
Colt state park
Plugging for blues and watching as my friend throws back a skip jack only for a 20 to 25lb striper come out of 12inches of water 3 feet from shore eat it. bringing in my plug the same fish hit my plug than he shook his head and spit it back at me. I stood there for an hour plugging hoping he would return
The same nite fishing the current at CSP having a fish almost spool me before spitting out my hook while chunkin with pogys. I didnt even get a chance to turn him he just pulled and didnt stop. Settled for a 36" 18lb bass later in the nite.
Charlestown breachway
It was my first time fishing there and it felt foreign to me. But i watched the other guys and got in the rotation and started slinging my eel. I watched as guys around me brought in keeper bass to 42" and 15lb blues. I didn't catch anything that nite but i was surprised on how many keepers came from that one spot ill be spending some time there next season.
Colt state Park/boat ramp
I caught 3 rare fish i never seen before after searching the internet i found out that i had caught my first lesser amberjack.
MY biggest change this season was using soft plastic baits i wouldn't even give them a look before this season, but it outfishes everything in my tackle box for schoolie bass. Now I have a couple of boxes dedicated just to plastics.
