^ King of the Googans, think we can get a logo for that? ;) :HappyWave:
Here's some pics we shot the other night. Many of the fish are done spawning, (or at least 1/2, G :)) There are some bigger fish in the Dirty Water Spots. The action is still sporadic, and tied in to the numbers of bunker that come in or out.

Hit Nomoco at sunset yesterday to find a fish on artificials. Water was clean, clear, and very cold in the ocean, 50's. Beautiful conditions for the sunset bite, but no bait to be found. Pluggers, boaters. and bait fishermen alike got blanked at this popular location. Stopped by and saw Speedy, :HappyWave: and went to the bunker factory to make bait.
Bumped into Joesfishinproblem there, the bunker were not in close reach, so I cut out of there with the bunker I had left over.
Before I left I saw these 2 guys with spinning reels get some hits from decent fish. Unfortunately one of them didn't have his rod secured in a sand spike. He ran to grab it as it had a massive hit, he was microseconds late as the rod went flying into the water...:eek:
I felt bad for the guy, losing a nice bass or big bluefish, and his setup. I watched it all in slow motion and yelled at him to grab it up, but it just went flyyyyyying awaaaaaaay... ;) :(
There are some big fish out there people. Murphy's law says you'll get that massive strike when yer not paying attention, or taking a leak, so pay attention! :learn:
Decided to hit the Dirty Water areas and do some inside scouting. First stop, guys were hitting small bluefish on bunker, though they did get a 35" bluefish the day before and some 30" bass. Nice to meet ya's. :HappyWave:
Then I found G in another place. There had been some action, it was maybe a little slower than it had been. All bass though, no bluefish.
Big Rodney had the hot hand, :clapping: he nailed a 32" and 38" bass near the top of the tide, tide change. There were bunker here and there.
Attachment 11009
The 38" bass had a huge gut and dwarfed the 32".
Probably around 22.

It was late and G had been out for hours and wasn't feelin well. I took him home, back out in the rain.
I found a sheltered place to fish from. I felt that the rain would minimize and the fish would turn on. I was wrong :beatin:as I fished from 2-6am. Nothing in the rain except cold wind that blew through your bones. Ended up sitting in the car with the heater on for 1/2 hour. At 4am the rain minimized again, back out to fish. :fishing:
At 5:30 am, along comes Manny, a guy I met 2 years ago. I helped him land and gaff a monster bluefish from some rocks when no one else was around. He's been fishin that area 25 years. He was happy to see me. We shared some intel and kept fishin for the tide change.
I usually bring my own food, but this guy had Spanish empanadas (meat pastries) and rolls with butter. After being in the cold for so long, I was happy he offered to share. Muy delicioso! :dribble::thumbsup:
Lesson: Sometimes it pays to help strangers out. http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...cons/icon3.gif
At 6am, around the tide change, I got a nice runoff on my bunker head, didn't come tight. That was it. As the tide for that location is pretty strong, I decided to cut my losses and go to work on time.
A friend of his called in a 30" bass from a nearby location, but Manny got blanked too. I had a feeling it would be a little slower today.
The fish are there if you have the patience to sit and wait. The key is the bunker loading up, and the water there is warmer than the ocean or bays. Hopefully some more decent fish to come out of there. Hope to see G get a nice one, he's definitely put his time in. :thumbsup:
:viking:i will be back soon i hope
Hopefully sooner than soon! Feelin any better today?
Works like a charm for me too. ;) Theoretically, the older ya get the more times ya need to take a leak, which statistically translates to more hits!
Who said gettin older was all bad? :lookhappy:
no my head is still pounding and i am shot:(
Sorry, bro, rest up and feel better. :HappyWave:
who you calling old???
now i put it in 4 wheel drive to trespass...
^^Amazing what that 4wd can do, ain't it? ;)
Wait until you guys get really old, then let me hear you complain. For now, quitcherwhining!:d
Where are the Dirty Water reports. All you guys are talking about is peeing to get bites and trespassing. Get out there and fish. lol
point
eat rice
I am actually 38 yrs old. Thanks for the compliment though. Clamchucker, I am guessing you are in your sixties and one of those guys that needs a toilet close by and if you are, you let me know and I will go fishing with you and carry your rods for you. How's that sound?
well i got a dwa report for u guys i went out around 1 pm yesterday i just had to get i still dont feel good but i was going nuts in the house so off i went it was a slow day to say the least from what i was told some guys came in and just took most of the bunker that we could not cast to so not to many bunks were around so i got some old ones from a guy and we fished what we had not to many guys out but the ones who stayed got fish some good sizes no blues at all just bass to 40 in the blue crabs were just messing up my bait but thats part of the game so i just kept fishing i left with one bass 39 in it works for me for those who want to see its in the dwa ;)
Nice fish dude! :clapping: :thumbsup:
I checked out the pic, it must be around 20 or close to it. :lookhappy: :fishing:
For anyone who has trouble finding G's pics, just click on his name, then his profile, and look to the right side of the page, near the bottom where it says "Albums".
Click on albums, and click on 'the dirty water' album. The pics are listed in chronological order, with the latest being at the top.
well i am glad i got one this year has bin so bad for me and the bass but thats fishing:rolleyes: i am going back out i a while i have a few old bunker i hope there is some there so i hope to get another bass i mite go to another place were the bunker have bin seen i just hope they are still there if i cant find any at the first spot :(
wtg gjb!:clapping::clapping:

Here's a pic of Marlin's 32.5# bass, 43", caught 5-23-10
Marlin is also known as the surf king.
Attachment 11200
Said he got it on a bunker tail. :wow:
I don't use tails and never considered them as bait. I would much rather use a head. What this catch does is illustrate the concept "to each his own".
Remember that the next time you see a guy fishin a bunker tail and think it's a joke, it worked for this guy.
WTG Marlin! :clapping: :thumbsup:
:wow::fishing: another big dwa fish boat not needed:rolleyes:
Some pics I shot a few weeks ago, million $$ views. :dribble:
