Hi All,
After not having a boat for 25 or so years I got myself a pretty red one this Spring. I have been fishing with friends for the past couple of years but there is nothing like being able to go when the urge hits. I am semi-retired so it was nice to be able to launch during the week when the ramp, only two miles from my home, is less crazy.
Overall the year was slow and spotty, for me at least. But one day about three weeks ago I saw something I have never seem before. A full blown Blitz. I got out at dawn and headed toward my favorite spot, Gooseberry Island here in Westport. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were birds working from the campground to Hen and Chickens, almost solid birds going crazy over a mixture of Bass and Blues...for miles. I came home with two keeper bass of moderate size and three Blues, the largest of which weighed 14 pounds. All this on my lightest 7 foot rod with popping plugs. Buy-the-way, there was only one other boat within sight the whole time.
We have all seen birds working over fish, but in all my 65 years I have never seen such action. What fun!
Al
