Actually we have some sandeels around.A diver told me there was a large pod around one of the jetty's weeks ago.hey seem to be holding some small fish around but the larger bass are all on the bunker.Was out in the boat the last 2 mornings because i had afternoon barbeques to attend.the bait is there but the fish would not co-operate.i knew it would be a late afternoon bite an was right.As I talked to some who got em.It's amazing it feels like the complaceny is setting in.Its really nothing to snag a bait an get a 30 when they are feeding.One 2 hr span I had 15 fish 25-35 lbs. I almost feel ashamed to catch these majestic warriors in such a ridiculously easy fashion.I crack up with disgust when i see the pics in the papers an the fish rags of these JO's holdin up 30 lbers that they are so proud of.5 yrs ago a twenty was a decent fish u had to work ur ass off to get a 30.now anyone wit a boat has got a 30.its a joke.An some out there (boaters) still don't get it.

I remember that day Eben. That was actually on your birfday if I recall correctly

most memorable was 2002 fishing with the almost mrs.'s dad (I learned TONS from fishing with him) We had fish (I hope its ok to note the locations, mods delete if necesary) from the champ.. rock area, well past little league, we lost the school for a bit but it later surfaced around league itself, from there we had them around old ant.., but lost them around the gong or whatever that structure is called. The fish were'nt all massive but its the most fish I'd seen ever come over a rail. I remember I took 5 mins for a cig and a new castle and Jim looks over and says "what ya cant fish and drink a beer at the same time?" It was one of those morning where, we didnt know whether we should go or not becuase we had to hose and scrape the ice off the boat before we headed out that morning. (this one didnt count boat fishin)

Then there was the time the pogies, were beaching themselves in np, Flav and I jumped in and were catchin with our hands as they were trying to make it through this lil cut between a boulder thats infamous for trappin folks at high tide and the boulders that make up the terra firma. we took a few fish and piece and live lined them that was a good evening/morning as well as sun was just about to set. Drove by that area this morning around 3am this morning and its been built up pretty bad... 1993

Last Monday's blitz I encountered comes to mind.Bluefish pushing thousands
of juvenile herring up onto the beach.
And then when it was getting dark everything settles down and gets real quiet and all you see are the tons of dead and dying herring floundering in the water.Then I start seeing the swirls and boils of the bass as they start picking up on them.I caught quite a few 8-10# bass and many blues.

I can also recall a massive blitz of 15-20# bluefish back in '86 right before I left for basic training.Some even went 20+lbs.I remember it was COLD too.I never saw so many broken rods and gear stripped reels before.I still have the rod and reel I used that day.
I can remember my buddy Al catching a 20lber on a foil Combo's wrapper after he lost his Atom popper.Other guys were just picking up the huge pogies that were all over the place and sticking them on a hook.It really didn't matter what you were using,if it had a hook on it and you could cast it 10ft you caught a fish.
