BIG BAITS, BIG FISH !!!

Posted on September 13, 2011 by avatar

 

After reading the Marine Forecast for this week I said I better go out Monday
cause the rest of the week doesn’t look so good with 15 to 20 mph SOUTH winds
are in the forecast according to NOAA. This makes the South Shore not the place
to be as the Ocean in Moriches will get Kicked up.

I headed out 6 am with good friend Jay. I went back to my Favorite spot where
I been have great sucess cast netting bunker. Here’s a picture of my 1 throw
from Sunday, from the DOCK I was able to fill a 5 Gallon Bucket WHOLY
COW!!!

But that wasn’t the case on Monday? The fish were there I could see them and I
think they could see me?? It was difficult to get the net on them but I did
manage about 12 Peanuts and 1 Baby Weakfish seen here below Baby Weakfish

  So off to the Moriches Inlet we went. The Ocean was FLAT CALM and I saw
a huge Pod of Bunker right past the bar. I wasted no time at all and headed
straight over to see adult Bunkers being Harrasted by Big Fish explosions
everywhere. I was getting all pumped up with thought of Huge Cow Bass like I had
in June and July. This was short lived as we both snagged our bunker and in 3.5
seconds eaten by VARICIOUS BIG BLUES sometimes 3 or 4 at a time would go after
your baits. We worked the different school along with 3 other boats from the
Inlet to the Smith Point Beach but all we could catch was 10 to 15 lbs Blues. I
mean don’t get me wrong they fight hard and all but we were looking for
Strippers and there were none to be found today in Moriches. So we caught about
25 of these Monsters till we lost every Bunker Snag I had in my boat and called
it quits at noon
