Specialist. You have to pick a day for a boat ride

I'm workin 1/2 day sat. then off sun/mon.

Got Sabiki ????

If not this weekend then soon.

Got Stripers · 05-21-2002, 06:41 PM

No real plans, although I do plan on launching in Scituate (weather permitting) one of the 3 days and do some scouting, fishing, more engine breakin and hopefully put a bunch of mackeral in the livewell. Anyone had any recent reports on the location of good sized schools of macs in and around the south shore or outside Boston?

Friday night I'd love to knock off work early and hit the flats, but I'm not sure I want to even attempt a run at the cape that afternoon, no doubt the traffic will be backed up for miles. Might check the tides and do an early morning excursion instead.

Got all the manure, peat and fertilizer all worked into the garden today, so at some point over the weekend I need to get some things started. Hope everyone has a safe and productive weekend.

mikecc · 05-21-2002, 06:55 PM

Lets see.
50 Lbs of eels
200 lbs of mackerel
600 fresh Hearing
200 fresh pogies
20 flats of sea worms
5 gal of sea clam
96 box of Squid
30 lbs of Lg shiners
20 lbs of med shiners
1000 carwlers
50 lbs of sandeels
and a partridge and a pear tree

Think I got enough

....don't forget the Taunts....head past the new structure they're developing

...and don't forget the ol' one they're replacing...

.....my guess is that a lot of the LARGE have moved upward in the river.....

schoolie monster · 05-22-2002, 09:22 AM

Looks like fishing with John on saturday... sat is perfect for me dude.

Wife and child are outta town till Sunday afternoon, so will be out in some form or another Sunday as well...

Monday, I have to take out my cousin's fiance in the am prior to a cook out with some family.

Funny thing, a few years ago, when the wife was out of town, I'd be thinkin' bachelor weekend!..."this is my chance to go out cruise for some chics man..." Now, I'm like, "this is my chance to fish the whole freakin' weekend man..." As cool as my wife generally is about my fishing, she can get a bit edgy when I try to push it too much.

Oh yeah, and a pre-game warm up tomorrow afternoon down at the Cape hoping for one big bluefish blitz.

Maybe I need to figure out a plan to fish friday night... that would be 5 straight days...

Steve K · 05-22-2002, 09:25 AM

Block Island this weekend. I cannot wait.

Topwater · 05-22-2002, 11:00 AM

I am heading down to the flats on Thursday after work. I think it is an 11:00 PM high, so 6ish could work well. Staying in Dennis until Monday night. Will be hooking up with Fisherwoman and BC before Saturday down there.

Got a nice 9.10 oz. blue on West Dennis Beach on Monday night. It was like the Vineyard as the school moved down the beach with everyone hooking up at the same time.

GS and SM: look forward to seeing you on Thursday night. I am hoping it will be better before the Holiday weekend crowds get there. I am also thinking about a run there Friday morning, depending on how Thursday night goes. I'll be in a blue Blazer with an red and orange rod rack. There will also be a pretty blond in the passenger seat.

IRL · 05-22-2002, 11:06 AM

blue blazer huh I usualy just fish in a t shirt

Spare Spool · 05-22-2002, 11:49 AM

Going to Joisey/Philly area to visit family. Rather be fishing. I hate these long drives on holiday weekends.

Bill L · 05-22-2002, 12:08 PM

How could I forget, RI Fluke season opens Saturday, will have to also make at least one trip off the cottages at Matunuck.

Squid kids Dad · 05-22-2002, 12:55 PM

Gonna spend some time at the canal this weekend..Hopefully gonna catch me a biggin striper for my birthday..

schoolie monster · 05-22-2002, 01:07 PM

IRL... booooo... bad one.

Scary that was my first reaction too. I was picturing someone fishing in a powder blue sport coat. I have a questionable sense of humor though.

Seriously, Topwater, I'll keep an eye out for the truck. I'll probably already be on the flat. I should be in the area right around low tide... hope there's bluuuuues out there.

Topwater · 05-22-2002, 02:45 PM

I will try to get a report from FW and BC before I leave for the day, just in case they have found a different hot spot. they shoud be able to give us a good idea.

I guess I have to proof read better while at work. Blue ,red and orange don't even match.

I am hoping they have a few Robert's Rangers on the raffle table tonight. John are you going? I lost my parking space in town so I am on the T.
