i took the boat out last week and had a few bugs to work out so i got it all fixed up and took her out this morning to just burn some fuel and check some favorate fishing spots for signs of life. i launched the boat at smith point bridge at about 8am and the tide was at the very end of the incomming. .we fished a quick drift with clam bellies but with no tide we headed to the inlet to catch the beginning of the outgoing.. west wind at about 8mph. weather was cool this morning with a few drizzles till about noon when the sun started to top in and out from time to time. we made 2 drifts in the inlet with the bellies with no life so i made the call to give up and look in a few ole bait spots just to see what was lurking. the first spot i looked we found plenty of life. there was bunker jumping all around but they were just to scattered to get the castnet on them. i gave it about 6 tosses with no luck. BUT I KNOW THEY ARE THERE. a friendly ospray came down and picked one out for me to see. that was a awesome site to see . we made the call to just look for bait today so we put the boat back on the trailer and headed to the north shore to look for spearing. on our way out a buddy had a 18" bass released under the bridge anchored on clam. word is they get a good LARGE spearing run early in the spring on the north shore. we got there at about 2;30ish .. we gave a few drags with a saine net but found no spearing. we ended up just digging up some steamer clams for dinner.......yummy. and some killer sand worms...released with the warmer weather and the bunker around its only a matter of time before all **** breaks loose. i am stoked..... GO GITTM..... capt. gil <like href="http://www.noreast.com/postedreports/view.cfm?id=81971" send="false" show_faces="false" width='layout="button_count"'></like> |
