Heavy boat traffic on Saturday had Captain Jim seeking opportunities away from the fleets. Fishing locally produced
bluefish but we were hunting stripers. Acting on intel to the far south, Captain Jim plotted the course and away we went! Once we got on the scene the bass that had appeared disappeared just as quickly! A move back to the north put the fisherman on the bass and blues despite continued heavy trolling and fleet pressure.
Sunday dawned bright and WARM and the Father and Son Trip Part 2 was on! The Horning boys flanked dad, Art Jr and Sr Spatafore were back (nice bass Artie JR!, see the gallery), Valerie Morris (yes we know she is not a son, but she fishes like a boy!!) introduced the new boyfriend to father Robert...smart move, Neil and Jorden Thomas owned the port bow and kept the crew filleting after the trip!, the Motchinik men were in their usual mid ship, port side position, Joe and Tim Dorenwerl joined us, and rounding out the Father and Son teams was Tim and Stephen LaPella....um Stephen...8 to 5?! C'mon!
South we went to the grounds before the fleet could form up and were met by MONGO blues. Deck filled with flopping 8-12lb pounders!! A few moves proved the first of the days bass and continued gorging bluefish. Every drift provided plenty of action with the pool bass going 31"! Pablo Valazquez came out from the night and kept his five requested fish all the while putting on a "...this is how you do it clinic..", Sunday regulars Angel Hernandez and Christian Amagante filled the bluefish orders they were given and Al Savary and fishing buddy Terry Breidinger improved their score from their previous trip. Oh and Robert Yenser WON the pool!
When are YOU coming to get your BASS??!!
