Taking some friends out...

I was asked to take out tomorrow some new yakkers. I have been checking the marine weather. I was hoping it wasn't going to be so windy and rough. I will need to rethink my plans. I always have a back up plan for bad conditions. The weather is so unpredictable...

I installed a Blue Seas cable calm

After researching my options for a long time, I decided to go with the connector by Blue Seas. I was worried about installing it on the yak. I drilled an 1/2 hole for it and holes for the 4 screws. I used silicone on the holes and around the connector. I hope it handles the test the next time I go out fishing. It's a solid unit.

Get the mid sized one. You don't want it too big or small.

September fishing

I like fishing in September. I mainly go after bass and bonito. It's a great month. It's not too hot or cold. It's still dark when I get out on the water. It seems fishing time is extended. I do catch big bass in September. my manin focus is bonito....

Keepers....

I have been catching keepers every week for awhile. It makes the trip complete. But, even if I did not catch one it still would be complete. It is great to be out on the water.

This week I helped a beginner I met. I explained how I fish and some general tips. Some people have told me they don't share their secrets and tips. Maybe I shouldn't but I do. There lots of fish (keepers) in the ocean........

Good day...

I knew today was going to be a good day. I nailed a big schoolie on the first worm. It was a perfect day. It wasn't too cool or hot. I kept on nailing them until I was out of worms. I had 2 keepers and 9 20-27 schoolies. I wished the day wouldn't end...

Bunker...

This year I noticed lots of bunker. It seems the bass are only interested in bunker. I tried eels, fresh bunker, plugs and tube/worm. I had no luck and I am confused. I have read many posts about other fishermen wondering why too. I think in the beginning of the season the bass haven't had bunker since last year and just target them. As the season unfold, we will see....

Kayak Rodeo...

Last weekend, I fished in 3 states (CT, RI and NY). I left from Barn Island launch around 7am after checking in for the Rodeo. We headed towards Napatree. I caught a 26 inch bass right off the bat near Napatree. The weather and conditions were perfect. But, there were no fish. We ended going to Fishers Island from Napatree. It was a tough ride to it. We went with the tide and then the waves kicked up big time. I just relaxed and made my way through them. There wasn't much action at Fishers Island. I was somewhat disappointed. I did catch a few scup but no bass. We needed up going back to Napatree and Sandy Point. I caught a few more bass but no keepers. We grabbed a bite to eat and went out again. We went to Avery Point. There were lots a bass. My buddy ended up catching a 37 inch one. It was a fun and a very long day. I ended up going about 50 miles in 12 hours of fishing.
