Sunday 6/1 AM - We had Arben's charter out again for live lining. First thing in the morning the wolf pack came to the boat and blew up on every bait. Hooked a couple and of course lost em. One more quick shot at them with a few blow ups. Then nothing till 11am, they called it quits to go party in Belmar. Had the shot just didn't boat any.
Sunday 6/1 PM - Open Boat crew of 6. Back out to the grounds and the bass were ripping through the bunker schools. Scattered schools all had fish on them. Went 2 for 10 as the fish were angry. Never seen so many broken lines and pulled hooks in a matter of minutes. Bunker schools all came together and began to be tough to catch. Went looking and found em all alone. Blowing up on the baits and knocking the bunkers clear outta the water off the hooks. Got one more and lost a couple more. Right before dark had another shot got one and lost one. Too many run offs that didn't get tight. Pulled hooks etc... No ones fault, just couldn't get em. 4 fish to mid 30lb range.
Monday 6/2 AM - Open Boat crew of 6. Worst trip of the year so far. Only had to bites allllllll day. Hooked both, lost one and got one. Tried like hell all day but never happened.
Tuesday 6/3 PM - Open Boat crew of 6. Decided to move the trip to 12pm with the lack of catching in the AM trips. Took a while to get bait but once we set up, the mother load of readings and almost everyone was hooked up. Only got 3 in. Another drift and there they were again, put another 4 in live lining and pencil popping. Read em like that all afternoon and only managed a couple more bites and landing another. Had 10 bass attacking one bunker. Much better fishing, but something still has these fish not eating right. With the readings a party boat with 100 guys shoulda all hooked up! 8 fish to 41lbs for the afternoon.
OPEN BOAT FRIDAY & SUNDAY PM THIS WEEK.
