Title: Out With The Boys, Niantic,CT
Post by: T-Man on July 23, 2008, 03:49:24 PM

Shared a rare between charter off day with Eric and Spanky this morning. Plan was to grab some live baits hickories or scup and live line till the slack and then do some T&W Trolling.

The shad were playing hard to get so we opted for some scup and were lucky enough to hit some keepers pretty quick.

So off to the rockpiles in 25-35ft we went and on our 1st drift Eric was on. Soon we found a nice pile of bass and we were able to stay with them for a while. We boated 8 or 10 real nice bass to around 35lbs even having one drift that produced triples.

Once the tide quit we switched over to the T&W and scored one real big fish (yup the Bubblegum Tube again) and a several smaller schoolies and just keepers. We tubed the same area we were drifting our live baits once the tide went slack.

Here's a few pics....
