That is good to hear.
Hopefully can hook up with them this year.
Fished form 2:00 to 9:15 this morning ocean side LI.
Nice south east wind, awesome looking water......but tons of weeds. Almost every cast got weeds on either my line or plug.
Threw lots of Hogys and nothing but weeds.
Did manage 1 ~20 inch bass at 5:30 on a loaded 7 1/2 inch red fin in some white water. Had a bump or two during the dark.
Walked further west today to try to get away from the weeds, no luck, but the bass was caught at the end of that walk.
Around 8:00 was almost done, fishing the last area where I would walk back to my vehicle. Was a nice rip perpendicular to the beach.
Throwing a yellow Howdy and it gets hit and I land around a 30 inch blue.
Then between then and 9:15 I caught 2 more around the same size. Lost 3 more in the wash (after long fights). And then lost one that I was losing the tug of war with after like 30 seconds. That one felt heavier and was much stronger (I'm a Knucklehead).
All other blues hooked or caught after the first one on the 2 3/8 oz white Little Neck. Its a frieking rocket.
Great time, love the blue action.
Liked the water....hated the weeds
