JoeyZac Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Well, the blue claws are out in force, and shredding any chunk of clam the second it hits the bottom, so plan accordingly. 59 degree water today, halfway through the incoming.

JoeyZac Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Only thing we can even realistically try in this wind is crabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyZac Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Until about 10am, it was cloudy, damp, and even a bit chilly. Then the sun came out, all of a sudden everyone was asking for radio checks, got my first few gnat bites (yes, the gnats are out!!!!!!!), and just like that, it felt like summer was here.

Yep, all Spring long I've been cursing the wind for making anchoring conditions very difficult, but now, unless we have a stiff breeze, it'll be almost impossible to fish in peace.

Look forward to catching up with you another day Joey. Sorry we missed connections. Did you do any good after the one catch?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyZac Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 6 doggies and 1 skate after the pic. Enough of a breeze picked up that staying was bearable, but not much to show for it. I think you're early start subjected you to the worst of the gnats, and my lazy start saved me from all but the tail end of it. Tomorrow looks good too.

Spigola Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 At least we know there are fluke in the bays. Honed the jigging prowess with a bit of C&R for awhile. Spitting up bay anchovies, grass shrimp and tiny crabs. Looks like they will be fattened up by the 24th. libertyminded 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight771 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 On ;the water this morning. Upcoming tide, overcast and a bit breezy. Nobody out, nobody anywhere. Then battery problems. Brought it back to the dock and found a loose connection. Called it a morning. Joey Zac stopped by and we got to meet him personally. Nice guy. Hope to see more of him in the future.

Knight771 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Anything happening on the Bay?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsigns Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Looking at the weather yesterday I had planned on fishing the bay and bought fresh surf clams to drown, wind was blowing pretty steady from the west so with the tide going out it would have been good. Hit the bay and the wind started to decrease so I went to the inlet and then beyond. I ended up fishing a wreck in 65' and caught so many 12.5" seabass but they were just that so back they went, and ended up with 7 13" to 14" keepers and a mess of small tog. Wind kicked up after about an hour from the east and the waves were hitting me beam on for a couple of very uncomfortable hours, ran out of bait and headed home for a nice fresh seabass meal. It was great to finally get some meat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
