At 5:30 am we were at Bartletts Reef drifting dead eels looking for striped bass only to find bluefish, after four or five drifts and hit and misses I thought the calm seas were perfect to take my wife to the Race.
Once there I dropped one very badly bluefish damaged eel on a tree way rig and with that my wife was on with her biggest fish fight. :D
Four drifts after and four more BIG blue fish my wife had enough of that so went to Fishers Island to find Isabella beach mobbed with boats, It was a beautiful day out there so I was not surprised to see 100 plus boats drifting for fluke. Well we did relax a lot, the bite was slow and the only eight or so fish landed were undersized. :roll:
On the way to port we stopped on the west coast of Fishers Island for some blackfishing. There, we saw a couple of divers got out of the water with some select grade of blackfish (I’ve been thinking about doing that too). I asked : HEY MAN, IS THERE ANY FISH LEFT DOWN THERE? :lol: :lol: He said: YEAH…SURE, I LEFT A COUPLE NICE ONES FOR YOU!!!! :(
(After the brief chat I hinted the wife what I wanted for my birthday’s present) :wink:
After a couple of nice porgies and no blackfish we came back to Bartletts Reef to hunt down seabass, couldn’t find the big ones that I wanted but I’m getting better at it, manage some shorts seabass and very hungry big porgies… gotta try newly discovered places.
Left Niantic state launch at 5pm, nearly a 12 hours fishing marathon with my better half. Life is good! :D
