Fall fishing...

I enjoy fall fishing. It's usually good fishing all day. With the cooler weather, the fish seem to bite more. I must admit it's colder on the water and more dangerous. Additionally, you need to be more aware of the weather. The winds can kick in at anytime.

Last week, I caught a 34 inch bass at 1:30pm. During the summer, I would be catching a schoolie during that time frame. The best thing too is I get to sleep little later. No rush to get to the launch when it's pitch black. I just love fall fishing...

Togging...

My friend asked me to go togging in his boat. Last time I went out with him. I didn't catch a thing. I was debating between kayaking vs boating. I actually need a break from kayaking. It seems I am catching too many fish in the yak. I kind of feel it isn't fair. Anyway, my friend says he knows a lot about togging. If i don't catch a thing, it will be fun going with him and learning some new skills.

Good day fishing...

October is a great month for catching big bass. It was a nice sunny day and about 10:00am . I had caught earlier only schoolies. I was at 2Tree island trolling a tube. A big bass hit my tube and took me for a ride. As I reeled it in, I lost it. I figured I had 1 more shot to catch it. I went back and followed my same path. I was letting the bail out and it hit. I dug my thumb into the bail and flip the bail. I had it now. It took me for a ride towards another boat. As I reeled it in, it gave me a good battle. I knew it was big just in how it fought. My tape measure wasn't big enough to measure it. It goes to 36 inches. Its head extended about another 5 inches. I was happy. I then caught a keeper tog. The winds were kicking in and I decided to head back to the launch. I can't wait until next week.

Fishing at the cape...

I went up to upper Cape Cod. I was in the Truno / P-Town area. I had a great time. I have never caught so many fish. I caught over 30 bass and 10 blues the first day. I stopped counting. The next day within 3 hours (includes paddling there) caught over 20 bass and 6 blues. I did learn a lot about fishing. I tried different approaches to see what works and what doesn't work.

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....
