New boat for 2011

After much thought....I have decided to move into a 26' center console inboard diesel......It is the cats ass!!!...Beautiful layout....No outboard to catch clousers onto anymore......fully bolstered, wicked nice smooth ride......ARE YA READY?!!

Seasons End....

Hello Blog Fans.....Sorry for the lack of posting lately....It's not because we haven't fished because we have. It's just that the fishing has been minimal due to the WIND like I have never seen it blow before!

I lost 17 trips in Sept and Oct due to the WIND and peoples inability to reschedule. As u can imagine, that put a serious dent in my seasons earnings but that's fishing and part of being in the business that you have no control over.

Last Saturday we hooked a giant bluefin around 700lbs and had him right at the boat b4 the hook broke....It was bittersweet.....We did catch a very nice Porbeagle Shark, *my first* and released a 71" butterball.

A trip into the drink was also ordered up due to my mate getting a line caught in the prop.....*grrrrrrgrin*

October Tuna

It's been pretty good when the weather let's us get out. I plan to run trips till mid Nov.....If you want to get out, NOWS the time!!

Fall approach.....

Sorry for the lack of reports. It was a weird late summer. The bass fishing was phenomenal in some areas and just plain non existent in others. We are lucky we are on a trailer and able to dump on the other side of the pond when need be.
After one of the hottest tuna bites that I can remember for June and July, things got tough in August and early Sept. We are starting to see the tuna show back up and get into their fall mode. Weather has been a big hindrance to us. Wind...wind and more wind!!.....About 5 to 6 weeks left in the season till the good ol girl is wrapped up.

Bassing has been very good!

Sorry for the lack of reports....I have been doing alot of bass trips the past few weeks and we have caught alot of nice fish on flies and jigs. The other day i had an angler from Italy onboard who spoke virtually no english....He nailed a 30lb bass on the fly and all we needed was the universal *high five* language to know how special that catch was.....

Commercial bass season will probably end this week with 70 percent of the quota reached by Sunday.....After that it should be awesome for chartering with the lack of people after a buck have long gone home......

Tuna has been slow of late but after next weeks moon phase I predict things to heat up....
