Rainy Day Fishtalk - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

BigFish · 06-01-2003, 09:52 AM

This weather is so depressing.

Lets hear some rainy day fish talk to help get us through it. If you have been fishing this weekend, tell us how you did. If you are going fishing this week as the weather is supposed to improve tomorrow and through the week, tell us your plans.

If I don't hear some fish talk I will probably sleep the day away.

Please help before I lose my mind.

You should have went to RI. There were quite a few good sized fish caught at the get together.

More info please.

I had a pretty good day yesterday.

Went to the herring run and got some baits, put them in my quickly made cooler/live baitwell (thanks Chuck C).

Went out to Long Island for the derby, with my son.
The herring stayed alive just fine. Took them to the water and into the laundry basket I made up last year. We threw them out
on bobbers. Fished for over an hour, then at high tide BAM...down goes my bobber, he made a good run then stopped. I left the runner on, wait, wait, wait, then off he goes again. Slam the bait runner off and set em' hard...FISH ON !!!!

It was not huge, only about 27-28" but my largest so far this season. Unhooked, revived and released while all the kids looked on.

5 minutes later my son has a pick-up, the fish is screaming the baitrunner, wait, wait, wait,,,,,SET IT.....FISH ON ! he yells, but that one was not on good enough,, few seconds and bye bye fish.

Oh Well, he re-baited, and threw another out. DAD,, he yells look! A fish is beating the crap outta his bait, slapping it, pulling it around, slapping it again, but would not eat it. Maybe the bass was too small I said. Little while later, I got another hit, but no pick-up. We left shortly after, not a bad day......We were gonna go again today, but guess what.............

More good news though while we were fishing I could see birds working and fish splashing in the harbor (same spot as last year FW and BC know), so guess where I'm heading to in the boat this week?????

macojoe · 06-01-2003, 02:07 PM

Well now thatthe boat is ready I will be finishing up some small stuff tomorrow and going to try to get out on Tuesday, if the weather lets me??

Van · 06-01-2003, 02:56 PM

Christian,
Yes it has started. You don't have to get permits this year, they give them out daily. So no one should be left out.
They were not measuring fish yesterday, it will start noxt weekend. Don't miss the cookout.

Macojoe,
Tuesday looks good for boating weather. I am planning to be on the water all day.

FishChick · 06-01-2003, 03:23 PM

Angie

Christian · 06-01-2003, 03:27 PM

do you have the info? i did a search, i have some info not sure how concrete it is though.

BigFish · 06-01-2003, 03:46 PM

Hi FishChick, I knew even while you are in FLA. that you would get on and check S-B. I miss you too, see you when you get home.

ProfessorM · 06-01-2003, 04:18 PM

Been some really nice fish caught around the cribbin on Sat. and Sun. morning. They were caught on the East tide early, get a canal tide chart it is a must. As I am sure most of you know tides changing East at day break are usually the best tides of the year for plug fishing. Go thru the chart and circle them for the upcoming months. They were eating mackeral plugs on the surface. Some of the fish were upwards of 28 lbs. Not many people there but plenty of nice fish. Not sure what this wind will do to them for the future tides this week. Good luck. P.M.

Bill, I bet CSK talked your ear off on the ride home with all that "Live Wire" Dew he drank at D&D's!!

TheSpecialist · 06-01-2003, 08:53 PM

We were both pretty sleepy believe it or not. However he was the more lively of the 2 of us. I drove to rt 128 and he took over from there. I was pooped, and I now am getting a head cold.

JohnR · 06-01-2003, 10:06 PM

Man, I was fighting the sleepies half the way back. I'm not going to be doing that anymore!

Hello all,
Here is how retarded I am. Yes, there were 40 mph winds. Yes, it did rain. Yes, I did go fishing after work. Yes, I did have fun. Yes, I got soaked. No, I did not catch a Bleepin thing.

BasicPatrick · 06-02-2003, 08:59 AM

Moose Knuckle,

Of course you didn't catch a @$@@#$@# thing. You are a member of Team Sea Monkey. Sea Monkey's can not catch fish. My advice, less alcohol and well you know, a new group to fish

pops02 · 06-02-2003, 09:15 AM

we did pretty good this weekend, plugged up 6 friday night, saturdat, throwing whole dead herring, picked up another 8 or 10, nothing very big, up to 33"

Sweetieface · 06-02-2003, 09:30 AM

Sprinkles?!!! Oh, LOL!!! I am laughing at work out loud!!

I was sleepy on the ride home too. Doing the loud radio, open window thing. Almost a slapping-my-face-to-stay-awake-night, but not quite.... thank God for caffeine!!
