New Moon, Big Tides....

And maybe a fish or two

Yup, gonna go on the prowl tonite...

No doubt it's gonna be hunt and peck - did some recon Monday before sundown, took a spin on my friend Komes' (who owns Flo's Clam Shack) new boat and cruised into the night... ended up with nada, nothin' - the old skunkaroo......and we covered a lot of water

No bass, we were actually looking for bluefish - for shark bait - he left this AM for the MV Shark Tournament and wanted to load up. We didn't see a single bird, ran into one small pod of fish on Washington Ledge that came and went, marked a little bait but that was it......I dunno

It was a nice night for a boat ride, anyway I guess - and a real nice boat. Brand spankin' new 38' Fountain offshore sportfisherman, triple supercharged 300 Mercs and it flat ass flies...45 mph at 4200 rpm, top end is probably 75 to 80......the thing that freaked me out was how quiet it was

But I'll be back to hoofing it tonight - I still like my rocks, too old to change now...like I tell Komes, ya don't need no stinkin' boat...

But it was pretty damned sweet...

BTW, if any of you S-B'ers are on the Vineyard or in the tournament, look for the sportfisherman 'Shack Attack' - she's sorta hard to miss with the 4' high Flo's graphics down the side - and he's got a t-shirt cannon loaded with the latest in ClamWear and hats, too...

Just tell him Dr Rocco sent ya, he'll know...it's just the old moniker from my early days at the Bon Zoo...the waitresses gave me the nickname...I have no idea why...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
