Title: FISH STIX - Late Reports - Bottom & Bass to 44lbs
Post by: Capt. Kris on October 28, 2014, 09:17:19 PM
Hey All,

Sorry for the lack of reports we have been canceling a lot due to the darn wind.

Friday 10/24 we had Vince's charter that was originally for Stripers but we decided to seabass fish since there wasn't much going on. Little crappy out once again so we were limited where we could go. They caught 35 keeper seabass. Just another tough day. But they had a good time, and some times that's what really matters.

Saturday 10/25 open boat crew of 6 for seabass. Started off the beach and they were stacked on a wreck but we're not biting. Made a couple stops but not much happening. Got a call the bass were around so we steamed inshore but unfortunately a little too late :( . After that we went togging. First drop was dead. Steamed up north and it was drop and reel keepers. All around 4-5lbs. Only lasted an hour or less. Around 15 keeps only keeping out legal limit of 8. Made 2 more drops for seabass/tog on the ride home but no one was home. Got the boys back to the dock after 5pm. Tried like hell. Ended up with a Half a dozen seabass and 8 solid togs.

Monday 10/27 open boat crew of 4 for Stripers. Live lined em, it was just like the spring! Tj had his PB and the first fish of the day at 44lbs! Got 4 others and the bite was over. Tried a couple more pods and not much going on. Changed gears and went TOGGING close to home. Again not cooperating in this area. Some bites then nothing. Weird. Caught their limit and went home early. Heard the bass went absolutely insane on jigs when we tied up at the dock! Ended up with 5 keeper Stripers from 25-44lbs and 4 keeper blackfish.

See what tomorrow brings!
OPEN BOAT SUNDAY - WEDNESDAY AND 11/7. STRIPERS & TOG.

Tuesday 10/28 ran an open boat for Stripers and Blackfish. We never got to blackfishing. The bass kept us on our toes all day. Long run in the morning on the breezy ocean. Found a pile of bunker and immediately got a fish. Never had a shot again. LOTS of looking today. Scattered bait and fish here fish there readings with no takers on the jigs. Later on close to home the gannets were everywhere. Finally the fish were stacked top to bottom! That's it game over. So I thought. Couldn't get them to bite. Little while went by and they started. Landed 6 more bass and lost maybe double that. All on jigs. LOADS OF LIFE. Very very very good readings. Put in a long day and the guys finished off with 7 Stripers all 20-25lbs. Nice day boys.

OPEN BOAT 11/2-11/5 & 11/7 - STRIPERS
