On the north shore, it feels like we're getting a no hitter thrown at us....

I've been eating a whole lot of humble pie.

Besides almost breaking my back @ 1 am this morning crawling out on my rock it was very productive for bass. 6 bass in the 30lb range and a friend lost a cow that took him into the rocks big. Blues showed up again at first light so we called it quits.

The fish seem super-powerful the past two weeks for some reason. Had a 30lber that fooled me into thinking she was at least 40 or so.

You guys to points south need not worry, they are coming.

I'm getting on a ferry this afternoon. What this means to those of you who aren't aware is the fishing will explode on the mainland shortly after my departure.I'll get a call tomorrow am from someone asking me WTF are you doing on an island when the fish are right here. Happens every time.

Only difference this time is I'm going golfing, not fishing.

Sharpen your hooks men, its(ferry effect) practically a sure thing..

Between trips to MTK I did manage back to back 30 lb nights here in NJ..While most are scoring some keeper sized fish ..

.MTK was not as good size wise for me.There where some nice fish takin.Like the one landed as we pulled up that was 40 and the 38 that was takin out of my footsteps just as I left one night..
Numbers wise the place was off the charts this yr.For example..One of the pinhookers who gets 225 tags per year used 70 all of last season.He has 12 left for this year..
