One of the Lanny Grazini crew. I remember nights these kids would not believe and will, in all probability, never see. 40s all night with some fish so big we never stopped them on Crack 300s and Squidders with the drag tightened all the way down.

I was serious. Mike and I should get together and fish with you. BTW, I think I do know you.

You wouldn't believe how much I miss fishing like that. Now my OCD is on BFT.
I use to bribe Nat and Chuckie with food, when I first started going down there. When we were not fishing we would be laughing our asses off.

Had four good nights of fishing over the long weekend with a bunch of upper 20# class fish and topped it off with a fish just over 30# on Sunday night. Sensing things were turning for the better I headed south to one of my better big fish spots last night and fed the toothy critters for two hours.

Tonight's a new night though...

Looks like the further south you go the more teeth you'll find. Making up bigtime for a blueless summer. I can't get anything past them right now. One more night before I'm Austria bound.

I miss Chuckie and Lanny and #^&#^&#^&#^&y C. #^&#^&#^&#^&y is still around and fishes SoCo a lot.

Thought I had it dialed in last night. Was where I wanted to be when I wanted to be there... just a slow night. Biggest fish 15 lbs, a couple of schoolies mixed in and a cigar butt for good measure.

Nice night out there though, perfect temp.

Last night I had one lowly bluefish in an area that's been producing lately...night before was slam zany but alas, I missed out due to work obligations.
Kind of like the entire season has been so far...some good flurries but the fish don't seem to hang around too long and much work has been reqiured to get them. Three weeks ago I declared it the "tip of the iceberg", but the iceberg seems to be floating by in small chunks...
We're starting to run out of time at this point, hopefully this week will produce like it normally does for me, otherwise its gonna be a long winter...

Mike, Canal was slow and the crowds in Bourne, due to the Scallop Fest, were huge. traffic everywhere.

I'm feeling good about the next two weeks. This east wind should help get some bait inshore.

Marked lots of small bait in the harbor this morning. Some fish on top, but not really organized. Third cast with a Ronz got a 38" fish at 0630. I'm thinking it was going to be a great day..... Only found three other fish, hours later. Was outside throwing into white water in the rocks. Got pretty sloppy out there. Hoping to see the surf fishing pick up, tonight... It's been feast or famine, but mostly famine.

But I have been focusing on getting my surf game ready for the MV Derby 10/4-10/11.... Looking forward to hooking up with some albies again, and maybe will hit it right for nighttime bass. The shore caught bass are getting larger by the week down there.
