Sort of getting sick of tossing to the same rocks in the Ha'ba' weekend after weekend due to wind or water. If I can manage a trip when it's calm, venturing to outer islands and prospect some different waters.

More time in the boat. I will have to get up earlier or go to sleep later.
0000 thru 1200 on the water

I hope to hit the striper super highway in about three weeks and chronicle their travels from NJ to ME...and you just might see it on-line.

Block Island for me again. SE corner and Clay Head in particular. And certain areas in South County.

If I told you guys I'd have to kill you.....

Rockfish9 · 03-22-2007, 06:48 AM

Buisnes as usual, year 35 of stomping the Merrimack river basin as far north as Rye NH as far south as the Essex river.(Ma). but mostly working the water inbetween, from the surf in May and October the rest of the season by boat.. still looking to find something over 30lbs on the fly rod....

Flaptail · 03-22-2007, 07:20 AM

I am already there. On the west end of my domain things are perfect but the east end would be if the bait just would come ashore this year. I gave up hunting the "big one" and just learned to enjoy what I have and the chance to be where I am.

afterhours · 03-22-2007, 07:34 AM

looking forward to all of it! local, not so local, fischers, and that special island more than a few times.....

Hopefully with a little more home work I plan on surf fishing Know man's

mid summer. Boat wise, gonna concentrate on deep humps when the water warms up, weather permitting. There's so much to learn and try closer to home but often its the hunt not so much the kill.

Through an extended period of time I heard you say that several times and what that tells me is that in your subconscious your still after the Big One. Its ok man theres treatment for that...lol

Sounds good but really is a dangerous place to go ashore Noman's is and having worked the last couple years with the USFWS on Monomoy and Nomans 15 year management plan review there will be people out there from that agency this coming year.

Only minimal landing sites and strong tides plus the shark thing and that is no bs. Better off casting from the boat off of the north side rip at mid island.

Goose · 03-22-2007, 09:30 AM

Thanks for the heads up, looks like plan B is good or better. See the edited part the 1st post.

GBOUTDOORS · 03-22-2007, 10:10 AM

Tie a line to the back of Goose's boat and have him tow me to all his hot spots then cut the line and sneak off to my spots

I hope to spend A LOT more nights across the bay with eels and some good friends. Work on a fifty and sixty this year. NOMANS

Steve K · 03-22-2007, 10:22 AM

Looking to fish closer to home in order to fish more.

Rappin Mikey · 03-22-2007, 11:14 AM

I don't care where I do it, but I want to break 30# on top water from the shore this year. Came pretty close the last couple of years (27,28), and I lost a honker in the wash last year on a pencil that must have been in the over 30 class. I think this year I'll do it.

InTheHole · 03-22-2007, 11:50 AM

I want to try some place I haven't fished before. I am going to venture over towards the Hooter and do some exploring. I have been told more than once that you can find anything from large fluke to large mako's in that area.

Sluggoslinger · 03-22-2007, 01:14 PM

I'd like to try and fly fish the flats near me, get out more since I now have some work in the same town as my boat. Catch a tuna even if its a rat.

I also want to fish a couple nights on some south side spots that i've wanted to try since last year.

Catch a 40+ lb fish...

Rick Ackley · 03-22-2007, 01:32 PM

I just went outside, except for the stiff breeze it is absolutely a nice day.
Had thoughts of uncovering the vessel last week, didn't do it, but I shall on Saturday. Blow out the leaves and such, and maybe go for a test float. Drag a line in the process.

macojoe · 03-22-2007, 04:01 PM

Look for a new fishing spot, since Vinyard sound will be junk after all them draggers are dome with it!
