Once in a blue moon
As the saying goes, only once in a blue moon do I get a chance to go do something memorable. It could be the people, the activity, a bucket list item, whatever.I had one of those last night. Finally had the weather cooperate (boy, did it ever) after previous cancellations to meet up for an overnight run off of Block Island. Westerly is quite a place, very nice. Tide was moving. Blues were in residence, big blues. We went through a lot of terminal tackle. I used a headlamp to re-tie most of the time, but the moonlight was definitely enough to "see", even in the lump. Because of the blues we ended up fishing two tides, and Cohen did locate the bass again. The dude is dialed in...Great time, great boat. Special night in the great outside, with stunning heat lightning off in the distance that lasted for hours. Mafiaman and 5/0 completed the crew. No lack of ballbusting the whole night. Hit the dock at 0345. And it was over.....
Except for the re-entry, which for me was a 2 hour nap in the Tahoe before driving home after the sun came up. I have another three under my belt now, but plan on napping through the afternoon.
One of the favorites to add to the best of 2015 for me. Thanks gents.

I'm still wondering how jay got that wraper off that muffin"while it" was in his mouth?!?!
I guess the YMCA was a worth
While membership for him,the guys must love him.
Great time Rossco,you will have to come to the canal this September and drift some eels with me,then you can check that one off your bucket list.
Please tell your girl she is one hell of a cook,those Turkey wraps with Bermuda onion,bacon mixed in with romaine lettuce and tomatoes hit the spot at 2:45 a.m...
If I had another I never would of made it home.
Cohen as always you are quite a host you dialed us in in the bass when there was acres of friggin blues. Tons of laughs & BTW you dialed in on that dogfish sky hook! LMFAO!
Completely priceless.
Jay....Stay tight buddy.

Huge blues from shore for me. Lost my biggest ever at my feet just after dawn. All were over 36". Made up for the small shore bass on plugs. Water is 74 degrees.

Well done ! Now stay out of my damn spot on his boat!!  |
Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.
