Season Closer The Last Bass

The Last Bass

Dec 14 2011 The Last Day of Striper Fishing as the Season ends tomorrow at
Midnight but for Capt.Chris and I this would be our last trip for he too pulled
the boat after we gave it 1 more try.
Capt.Chris Called me about 1:30 PM,
Hey Pablo what are you doing I heard the Stripers are still around? To be Honest
I had mixed emotions Eh I said probably all Throw backs. No Man I heard there
was some Bigger fish caught. Yeah Right I said, Look my boat still in it’s 50
degrees out, the ocean is flat I’m going. Your gonna cry Pablo if the fish are
there. My Wheels start Turning, Should I go? Nah the fish left, But what if
there’s one more push ? The water temp still 50 you should go? Arrrrrr, Last
chance Pablo? ok,ok,ok what time? 3 PM meet me at my dock.
I finish up work and hurry to my house grab my Rod and zip down on his boat. I had to laugh as it
was the ONLY boat left still in the water. Capt.Chris pulls in right behind me
and says I WIN ! I said you win what? He says I’m the last one still in Ha Ha Ha…
I guess you do, lets go day light wasting.We hit the Ocean to find some birds working the Sand bar out front of Moriches Inlet. Pull up and make some casts nada. It’s out going and the waves are about 3′ spread out with big gaps but just Big Enough that you had to keep an eye out. We didn’t want our last trip to be the LAST TRIP lol.Decided to work the back side of the breakers for a while and no luck too. Then we saw a few Gannets diving around 30 to 40′ depths and tried Diamond Jigging that area nada. I made a couple of casts and all of a sudden I cast and There goes my A-27 Diamond jig bye bye???
Ok so now I have to re rig and I’m looking back at the Bar. Hey Chris look over there the bird activity has picked up lets move back over there. We were running out of time the sun was setting and we decide to go back through the Breakers just as we get to the inside I cast my White 1.5 oz Bucktail with Yellow Uncle Josh and Bam I’m on.
We land the fish no big deal Maybe 24″ but it was nice to
land anything on your last trip of the season. I quickly Snap a pic with my cell
phone left good camera in car… and release it. I then went to put my rod in
the holder and my bucktail just fell into my hand. I said wow that was close I
bet 1 of my guides has a chip in it. Later back at the dock I checked my guides
to find a Micro cut on one of them. Anyway we stayed just till the sun Kissed
the water then said our good byes to the sea and headed back to the barn.
Anyway It was a Good Ending and I still have some Cod trips to look forward too
Just in Case Merry Christmas Everyone

Looks Like another Season has come to an end

Posted on December 3, 2011 by avatar

 

With just 12 days left to the season, diminishing reports and lack of fish. I decided to call Mike M+L Marine to wrap it up for the season. Has much as I don’t want it to end the time has come to try chasing other fins and other spiecies. 2011 was a great season I had more big fish than I ever saw in all my fishing right in my own back yard. The spring run was full of fish in the Bay alot of Blues and top water plugs produced many stripers in the bay. June 15 to July 15 was the time to fish Moriches as the BIG STRIPERS were all over mega Bunker pods with fish over 40 lbs all most a daily occurance. Fluke was good as usual in early June and again in Aug the trick was to catch the end of the incomming tide and find the bait.

Sharking wasn’t that good although I only made a few trips, we landed one keeper Mako July 1 just in time for the BBQ. The Hot summer made for a picky bite after the bunker left and Sea bass were in abundance out on the wreck.

September was bait catching time once again the back bays were LOADED with peanut bunker and other small fish to load my well. This was a good thing to see so much life back in the bays. Then came October which was just unbelieveable Top Water Action with Plugs producing many, many Bass for everyone, it was just so exciting to catch a fish on Top Water Plugs. November started off with a good run mostly in the bay but soon bad winds and weather kept us tied to the docks and when we did get out the fishing was less than optimual with little to show for it. That was untill Thanksgiving once we were able to head back into the ocean the fish were there and Bucktails and Storm Shads were the trick SLOW retrieve was the ticket. The sand eel bite that we grew accustume to moved to NJ and they had some Awesome fishing off there beaches like thay haven’t seen in years.

So now that December has moved in and Christmas just a few days away I decided to put my lures away and clean and oil all my reels for next Season. This doesn’t mean I won’t be out once in a while chasing Cod’s or Blackfish but just not in the same way I chase the Striped bass. So with that being the way it is I’m calling my 2011 Season and now am looking foward to 2012 and beyond.

Tight Lines everyone

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Mama Mia Another 30 Plus Day of Striper Fishing !!!

Posted on November 27, 2011 by avatar

 

Another Sunup Bass Blitz ;)

Headed out Saturday Nov 26 and it was just Perfect Light winds water temp 54
Sunny very warm. We were greated with the Sun Up Blitz. Catching went on for 2
hours to the east then we made a pit stop for some Gas and headed back out to Catch even
more ;)

Green Bucktails with Double Uncle Josh got all 4 Keepers. Double Uncle
Josh ? What the heck are you talking about? Sometimes we add a second Josh to
make it flutter a bit more. Yesterday it was solid Yellow with Spit red on top. We actually picked off more bass at the slack tide straight out front in my SPOT than any where else.
Nappe landed 3 keepers while I was on White with red all day no keepers Neil
too. Not Until the last Hour I switched over BAM got my keeper.

Once again EXTRA SLOW was the crank speed.

BLACK FRIDAY !!! NOV 25 2011

Posted on November 27, 2011 by avatar

 

Now That's what I call BLACK FRIDAY !!!

Black Friday People rushing all over trying to save a buck all the pushing and shoving and crazyness for me I was hopping to see the above photo. I call Black Friday, Black Sky Friday cause I know all I have to do is find the birds and I will find the Fish !!! So just as the sun started to rise this is what we saw. Thanks Chris Devivo for the use of your photo

Now just before we headed out into the wild blue yonder I stopped at the west cut seems all of my bigger fall fish came from the bay so when I saw all the bait and birds working I just had to give it a try. In less than 5 Minutes Jr had a 18lbs bass slam his White bucktail right next to the boat and it was GAME ON!!! I didn’t think it was going to be that big but was pleasntly suprised to see a nice quality fish being that there was so many smallers ones being caught.

Jr and His 18 lbs Bass

After that we all tried hard but no more fish came up we headed out into the ocean to find our AM Blitz just to the east of the inlet 1/2 way down to Cupsouge Pavillion 12′ of water close to shore.

Cosin Dan had his fare share along with Pete too. Close to shore all on Bucktails and Storm Shads
The wind started to pick up right away and the SW rollers got big quick. Made for a slow ride all over the ocean. We picked fish all over but no more keepers.

So about 11am the tide all most done and all the birds disappeared. So we headed in. On the way home stopped again said 1 last shot and long behold a Fat 30″ to round out the day ;)

Jr, Pete and Cousin Dan

Lizzard Fish

Bay Striper STUFFED full of Grass Shrimp

Happy Turkey Day for Pablo

Posted on November 24, 2011 by avatar

Pablo's Turkey Bass

Woke up today 5AM and saw No Wind, I quickly text Jr cause it’s Thanksgiving Day and it’s been a Tradition on that day we fish. Today my calls and Texts went unanswered ??? I went down to the Ocean to see the conditions for myself. To my Surprise the North wind calmed the Ocean and it looked good. I kept calling him and got to the boat and dilly dallied around to waste some time but still no call back 6:30-6:45 so off I went.  It was end of incoming tide so I made a few casts and Bam Fish on it was small but still I was happy NO SKUNK for Pablo :) .

After that 1 Striper it got quiet and I moved around a bit looking for a few fish but NADA. All of a sudden I get a call from Jr around 7:30 AM I told him He broke the TRADITION he said he went out Surf Casting last night with 7 other guys and No fish, it was cold and he was too tired to get up. While I was on the phone with him the birds started to show up and I quickly told him I had to go… Has I caught each Fish I made sure to post it on Facebook and send him text messages just to rub it in HE BROKE TRADITION lol.

I ended up catching 10 Stripers nothing big but a few teen size fish keeping 1 33″ releasing the rest. All fish were caught on 1.5 oz Bluefrog Bucktails with Red Uncle Josh Trailer. Back at the dock I found some Interesting things in the stomach.

Can You Identify this? The Middle one is tuff and it’s not a squid it has a Skeleton, some kind of fish. Also cut out the row of the fish. Not sure if I could eat it but maybe ??? It doesn’t look so appetizing? What you think would you eat it???

Striped bass Row could you eat it?

Well It was getting late and I could Smell the Turkey Cooking so I flew home hoped in the shower and off to Grandmothers house we go.

And Finally in other News I have my 1st Jar of Herring in the refrigerator, Oh how I love that stuff :)

Well tomorrow is Black Friday, this is what I want to see on Black Friday.

Pablo's Black Friday ;)

Going Back Tomorrow
