Hey guys, its been a while since I posted and I hope all is well. I've been heading out East a little bit lately for some fresh strawberries, tasty wine, and some fun Spring Fishing. Last week I went aboard the Zephyr from Riverhead. In short time (3 hr condensed half-day) I filled a tote with 2-6lb. blues, all taken on 10lb spinning tackle for a load of fun.
Today I went further. Its been a long time since I took a "mental health" day so I skipped work and headed to the beautiful North Fork of Long Island to enjoy a gorgeous day on the water. The Prime Time III in Orient has been beating up on the bass for the past 3 weeks and figured I'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the bite slowed down for our trip but I can't complain as I still had a respectable day. In the end I managed 5 gator blues, a 29.5 inch keeper bass, and one 27 inch throwback that were all caught on a 10oz gold diamond jig. I also choked a very good fish close to the boat, but those are the breaks. I have to say that I'm glad that I brought the gold jigs. The remaining 15 fares fishing with standard jigs only managed 3 other keeper bass and a handful of blues. 5hrug For Orient Standards it was slow but also very summer like as the night bite out that way is still amazing and definitely the way to go.
