Legendary missed blitzes

[RickBomba]

I slept through the Blitz that Mike was at. I was out every other minute of the vacation.
I think about it all the time.
It was Rappin Mikey that day, I was asleep.

First time I met Slingah about 8 years ago. I went left at the beach. He and his buddies right.
They pounded 30 pound class fish and came back to the lot draggin slobs.
The only thing I pounded was my head on my hood.
Has happened several other times, but that was probably the most memorable one.

Same thing happened about 3 years later. Fish had always been coming in to the left. That one night they came in to the right. Supposedly 2 near 50's caught that evening in that mayhem.




You can't be everywhere at the same time.

I suppose every time I go out and get skunked that I am missing the blitz somewhere else....and that is too often for my likes.

Fell asleep in the truck, woke up to a pile-o-bass chest high all monsters. I think I actually cried.

I missed a good one this spring. I was at the parking spot about to gear up and saw the thunderstorm coming and decided to leave.. my friend was there before me and was just walking down the path and I said to myself "poor guy, hes gonna walk all the way down there and get rained on, and possibly zapped... I left, he stayed and caught something like 8 bass up to 42 lbs if i remembr right- smallest was mid 20's

I wasnt pissed, i wasnt jealous, well maybe a little jealous, but i have a kiddo at home and i wont put my life in danger over a stupid bass, even a 50 lber.

I have many years ahead of me to find fish

I'm not sure on the year, I think it was mid to late 70's. I was still in elementary school. It was during the fall run and both my parents were pretty serious about their fishing and we were spending a LOT of time camped out at great point. They run a B&B in the summer, so once fall rolled around we had all the time in the world to fish...

On the day in question we had camped/fished overnight at the point. In the mornings we'd head back to town to go to school, and then they'd come back into town in the afternoon to meet the bus, and we'd head back out.

During the time it took them to leave the beach and pick us up in town, turn around and head back up to the point, there was a mammoth blitz with fish chasing mackerel right out of the water from the lighthouse up to the point.
By the time we got there it was over.

That was the when&where of the 60+lb fish that's been hanging on the wall in Fisher's tackle shop.

This was not from the beach but from the boat. Year 2000 Aug. 14th, hugh hugh school of fish came up on Scorton Ledge during comm. season. It lasted several days but first 2 days many guys limited out, 40 fish per boat. People ran out of worms, mostly tube and worm fishing, and went in and came back out and caught more. After 1st day only small handful knew, 2nd day few more and after 3rd day there were 100's of boats from all over the Cape even from Boston. Looked like a parking lot out there everything from 50' sportfishing to 4' zodiacs. I knew about it the 2nd day but could not make it till the 3rd day which by then was a zoo and not worth it. I just turned off the engine and watched 50 to 75 boats all trolling tube and worm work an area the size of 2 football fields it was pretty comical to say the least. Lucky guys the first 2 days made some serious coin. Paul

Man, I always hate "The morning after phone call" we have all had our share. For me it was 91-92 I think fall. I was at Watch hill and we were killing the bass most of the day but, the fish were not big largest in the teens and most 5lbs or so, I told my friend at the time that I had had plenty and I was going to leave for a chance at a better fish someplace else. He told me good luck and that he was going to stay and play it out. For the rest of the night I was striking out at other places. The next day the phone rings and its damon , first thing out of his mouth is "how did you end up making out" I told him not so good then he hits me with "well you should have stayed, an hour after you left we hit them big time and I had 4 fish over 30 and busted off a couple times on bigs"! took out a 39lber, everyone had good fish"!

Had my share of those...we all have
