So come on down Sunday afternoon (best day with regards to Cape Traffic) and we'll shoot some food, bull some fish, and catch some sheit

Mike says there are some good fish in the area

ditto.

wish it was tomorrow instead.

would love to see the outcome though.

Mike P · 09-01-2008, 10:06 AM

No one had a camera, as far as I could see.

Did anyone catch anything decent? Best I could manage was 26"-28" in the wee hours this AM

striperman36 · 09-01-2008, 10:13 AM

I didn't see the Leper

I only filmed good lures for reference in the future
The cup was not in residence, it is currently with Team Franklin.

JohnR tried to explode the grill but without success

Tynan and Starfish did manage to stay awake after a 24 hours of binge fishing to go hit RI beaches.

SeaDangles was off to hit the Cape on the Lund

NumbSkull and the FishDog were there

TOrlando was sans wetsuit

NIB was throwing rigged eels behind the shop

ProfessorM was showing his peanuts

RickHearn was present

Flaptail was telling more stories

Slipknot · 09-01-2008, 10:35 AM

I missed it too

I couldn't be in 2 places at once
sorry I missed a good time again.
I had to go to a family/friends fundraiser for my wife's cousin who is lucky to be alive after surviving a serious heart attack aorta disection similar to what Killed JohnRitter. He has a long recovery and missed a lot of work and pay as expected, but he is still with us.
I fished the night before with NIB, then around sunup with JimPowers but we didn't get anything other than schoolies jigging. Let's do it again in 2 weeks

BrianS · 09-01-2008, 10:46 AM

I managed a 20lb-ish fish around 2am

Slow after that except for schoolies

Wish I made it to the cookout

tynan19 · 09-01-2008, 02:21 PM

Bluefish that is all. Didn't get home till 6am and now here at work.

2 hrs of sleep in 48 hrs is just stupid. 3 different drivers to make it the 1 1/2 hrs home. Good to see everyone and thanks again to M&D's for having us.

striperman36 · 09-01-2008, 03:17 PM

You can only do that when you are young. Hopefully you won't get any calls to go out.

Offshore24 · 09-01-2008, 03:29 PM

It was nice meeting y'all. ty, can't be said we didn't try. 2 states in 3 days without sleep. There may be a nightcrawling future for me yet. It was awesome. Broke my cherry on the ditch, wooohooo/

missing link · 09-01-2008, 04:41 PM

Sorry I couldn't attend, went to my goddaughters 6th bday party in ct, woke up at 2 am with pudding a$$., temp 102, was sick as a bastage all day sunday. monday, felt fine, washed truck and went out back for freshies, skunked.
Hope all had a good time at the leg.

Great seeing everyone, John, Mike, Barbara, thank you.

Chris, awesome pulled pork!!

Nib, Casey, Kasey, Bill, Steve, Vic and everyone else, great to see you.

Had some amazing fishing in the west end of the canal this am from daylight till about 8am. Total over 30 fish from 26 - 34" and some big blues(up to 32.5"). Loads of bait including all sizes of squid. Killer plug for quite a while was a pearl rapala Xrap Walk 13. At one point I had fish on 14 out of 16 casts(got weed on the other 2) Particularly during the slack and the slow current, no wind, this plug just slowly twitched on the surface is deadly. Guys around me were getting occassional fish on bigger poppers but this plug was killer. It casts decent also, at 1-1/4 oz.

Glad to hear you got a good one John. Wish I could be there tomorrow am, should be a repeat performance.

mikecc · 09-01-2008, 07:10 PM

As always glad to see some old faces.Nice to meet the new guys also.
Barb Felicia & I had a great time.
Thanks again
Mike

striperman36 · 09-01-2008, 07:29 PM

You all are the most hospital shop owners around
Thank you,

I'll bring my german sheperd next time so Felicia can take care of him too!

t.orlando · 09-01-2008, 07:31 PM

32# kept.............Thank you Mike, Barb, and Felicia,.... great hosts as always.

hyefisherman2 · 09-01-2008, 08:32 PM

nice fish tony!

macojoe · 09-01-2008, 08:41 PM

Sounds like all had a great time!! Good going all!!

Wish I could have came!! But I have been ill for over a month now and 14 day hospital stay, Missed the whole month of Aug fishing!!

Hoping to be ready in the next 2 weeks to get some fall stuff ready?

Congrats to all that tried!

LT. DAN 2 · 09-02-2008, 06:37 AM

Macojoe,

Sorry to hear you were out of commission. If you were fishing Buzzards Bay out of Wareham August was slow with smaller Seabass, scup, and an occasional fluke. Vineyard sound was O.K. for the Fluke especially in the first week but slowed into the Aug. 15th closing. You'll be back just in time for the Albies and Bones.

Get well & strong soon MJ. Wish for you to have a great September to make up for a crappy August!

Back Beach · 09-02-2008, 07:24 AM

Was hoping to make it, but first things first. Family, work, fish. I got the first two things in this weekend and that's what's important. Will try to make the Rhody leg.
