Nice going Fin.

Got out last night fished from 6 to 10pm got 2 short bass and 2 nice keeper size fluke better then 19 inches maybe 21 inches. The fluke took the SP Minnow, and the Bass were on Strorm shad. Lots of bait where I was and seen lots of swirls. Anyone seen any sandeels yet?

Fished this morning out from 3:30 to 8:30. Water felt a little colder today. Breeze out of the north east. Got one short striper on an Ava 007 green tail around 8:15. Nice time, great weather (had other stuff to do today so trip was a little short, will be back out Thursday in the AM more than likely). No sunrise today.

Fin, you are on fire. I hope to my numbers increase

As to sand eels don't want to be the bearer of bad news but there are none even the mud hole is void of them the big blues are feeding on squid and smelts and butter fish. this comes from my charter boat friend who is well informed by lobster man

I'm not really crazy about the sandeels. I hate fishing Avas. I just don't want the bass to pass us by.

3 bass to 29", bucktails, moco. Surf is still bad but the strong west wind should knock it down tomorrow.

Nice going Bucket. Are you using anything with the Bucktail? I was throwing Bucktails Yesterday with Pink Fins with no luck using the bucktails.

Chas. Never seen a Sheepshead caught around here. They must of been common at one time. I guess they named Sheepshead bay after them. Nice going.



Last night I fished from 6pm to 8:30pm I got 1 bass just shy of being a keeper. The bass was caught on a X-Rap. I wasn't prepared, the rod almost came out of my hands on the hit. The bait seem to have moved.
