Spot burning post for Narr Bay

Tons of fish this morning. Unfortunately nothing under 25" nor over 29". All the little kids you wanted. Too small even to take a Bunker.
All they did was play with their food! Had to switch over to a small swimmer but fun.

Very wet ride back into 4' seas NW 25knts. 6 footers around Warwick Light. I was sking down the backside of some of the rollers.

No boat, back in the suds.

Funny. My wife and I were just talking about the fact that I have not swung a club since the fish showed up. I told here I'll be back on the links when the Bass settle in for the Summer.

Almost 7 hours on the Bay today. Noticable lack of bunker in any great numbers. Ran about a total of 50 miles and finally found decent but not until the tide was half up and pulling. 2, 24-25#, 3 high teens. Still cold SSE at 10 but water temp is back down to 52 in the mid-Bay

Went out with my bro-in-law Sunday, Paul for his birthday charter, a little earlier this year than the past

Pogies were pretty scattered in the East Bay, saw Jimmy White and Billy Silvia scouting around too - our sizes were about the same as you got

The only real shot at glory was a breaking school of bigger bass - it looked like we were on the road to greatness until some momo in a Sea Ray ran right into the school WOT and scattered them...

Man, I'm telling ya, the people you run into when you don't have a gun...

"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.
