Herring in Mt. Sinai
Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!
Well the boats all wrapped up and sitting on blocks at Patchogue Shore's Marina
www.PatchogueShoresMarina.com . But on New Years eve I was treated to a Jar of my friend Cary's Pickled Herring, and I have to tell you it was GOOD! So I've been meaning to get down to Mt. Sinai Harbor and get some more and with this weeks temps I did just that. So here's how it went.
The Herring run on the south shore was all most non existent this fall and I was disappointed to say the least. So I set out to get my fill of these delicious Herring.
Now I've been told that just before sunset they come into the Harbor and make a few runs past the docks chasing spearing and if your lucky you can catch a few. I made sure I got down there and armed with my Light Fishing Pole and Sabikki rig I was ready to go. For those of you that do not know what a Sabikki rig is, It's a rig consisting of 4 or 5 small Sharp hooks about 3' long. Here's a picture of 3 types I like to use. You can get them at any tackle shop.
Now I also like to include a Glow Light or Lunker light. This helps attract the fish to your hook especially when it gets dark out. I picked up mine at Rocky Point Tackle shop or any Party store or for 1 dollar too. It's a very simple kind of fishing you just add a 1 or 2 oz weight on the end and jig the rig up and down off the bottom. With any luck you'll get enough to make a jar or 2 of Pickled Herring. Also you may
want to add a Dodger. What's that? It's a thin piece of sheet metal or Aluminum cut out to look like a Herring about 6" long will do just fine. Add it to the top of your rig and drop it down and jig them up.
I was able to land a few the 1st night out and a few more the 2nd night but the 3rd night all I got was a few hits but that was it. However the guys down on the docks were extremely nice and since most of them caught 1 or 2 they gave me there catch and I had a total of 15 to make a few jars.
I followed Cary's Recipe and hopefully in a week I'll be eating a perfect snack of fresh Pickled Herring YUM YUM. Here's the recipe for anyone interested.

IN THE FIELD Bass Fishing Ends Quietly
Well, that, as the saying goes, was that. The striped bass season will
close on Saturday, December 15, but it will have effectively ended for
most fishermen long before that. Plummeting temperatures, a couple big
storms, the long stay of bunker in the surf zone and the fickle nature
of fish in general brought the premature end to what was a largely
disappointing fishing season for East End bass fishermen.

November 28 in Moriches Inlet. PAUL PELUSO

Catching In a Winter Wonderland
20,025 205,527
On the Ocean, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Catching in a winter wonderland.
Here to stay is a Bass Fish
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Catching in a winter wonderland.
Then pretend that he is Charlie Brown
He'll say: Did you catch any?
We'll say: Hell Yeah,
And you can catch some to
When you're in town.
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Catching in a winter wonderland.
On the Boat we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Catching in a winter wonderland.
Caught till we could not catch anymore
My back is KILLING me
Nappi was using an A-66.
What's that you say?
It's a 1' Diamond Jig with a Giant Hook
he Quickly was up on the boys but if luck would have it. His Reel gave out I think from the weight.
Nappi is a Great Fisherman with his Shinnecock ways
But soon after Pablo and the Buck Tails
Caught up to him and kept going
Today 2.5 oz White with Yellow worked and
Storm Shads too.
Timmy being the rebel he is, wouldn't use Yellow
He said I'm using Green!!!
He also had a buck Tail with a red Tie on it
He only had like 4 Fish till the last hour.
I kept telling him to switch
When he finally did he was TIM on FIRE catching
10 in a row!!!
BEST PART
Was when I came home. Home you say? Yeah because Kat had made a fire and had a
Bowl of Italian Wedding Soup ready for me. I didn't even ask for it. Then she
had made Deer Stew in the crock pot and said I know your tired honey go sit in
the chair by the fire and rest. I ate and fell a sleep in what 10 Minutes. Thank
you so much Honey!!!
Oh and Cary your recipe for the Deer Stew was Out of this world
No, some deadline has not passed and, yes, the herring could still show in big numbers and save a pretty dismal fall run, but with each passing day that I loop past the Montauk Lighthouse and don’t see those massive clouds of gannets bombing in the rips, I worry more and more that it isn’t going to happen this year.
This current blow will likely be the final piece to the puzzle, and I have a feeling all will be revealed by the time you are reading this. Nighttime temperatures in the teens and 20s the past several days should have pushed water temps down to 50 or lower, meaning that even the most hardy herring should be on the move. If this wind dies down and the herring aren’t here—they’re not coming.
As it is, we will need a significant warm up to keep them in the neighborhood for long. My notes tell me that the herring have shown up later than this in years past. In 2001 they suddenly appeared, en mass, on December 5 on the heels of an icy blow much like the one we’re getting now. The arrival of the herring that year kicked off nearly three weeks of some of the best fishing Montauk has seen in recent years, straight through to Christmas week. But it was also 67 degrees on December 17 that year.
Perhaps most worrisome is that there have been some signs of herring already this year. Pods of them have shown up outside Montauk Harbor and in the rips near Phelps Ledge, but they’ve been small and fleeting appearances.
You can be sure that fishermen from Montauk to Coney Island are crossing their fingers and praying the herring will show in Montauk this week. If they do, their subsequent westward migration could spark some good beach and boat fishing along the entire South Shore for weeks to come. There was no inshore trawl fishery for herring in the Gulf of Maine this year, but by most accounts the herring still didn’t return. And last year, when the inshore trawlers vacuumed up vast numbers of herring just a few miles offshore, we still got a healthy herring run. So who knows how to account for their habits. Some years they just don’t show. Truth be told, just like we’ve had a couple straight warm winters and are due for a hard one, we’ve had a bit of a stretch of good herring runs. Are we due for a no-show? Let’s hope not. If the herring do pass us by, it probably means the good bass fishing, for all intents and purposes, is over. The fish know if the herring are coming, and if they’re not, most of the bass probably followed the giant schools of bunker out of town last week. There will be some straggling micro bass no doubt, but the big fish will not set up without significant bait presence.
In the meantime there is some other good fishing to be had. The lads in Moriches are still picking away at the trailing edge of the fish following the bunker, and had some pretty good fishing as recently as Sunday. Blackfishing is still going strong. The North Shore bite is slowing down a bit, but the Montauk, Shinnecock and Moriches boats are still taking some big numbers of nice togs off the wrecks and reefs. The Shinnecock Star had its best shot of blackfish just this past week, so there is plenty of hope for a bite lasting a while as long as the weather cooperates.
Catch ’em up. See you out there.
Dec 1 2007
I drove down to the Ocean 1PM and What do I see???
Mega Blitz 1/2 way between Smiths point and the Inlet.

PM Trip with Mama
Mama's like your taking me out right? Like I had a choice, LOL!!! Ok drop Mia off at school and I'll pick you up at Union Ave again. Great be there by 12:45 Pablo, and don't be late I only have 2 hours to fish... and Here's what would have happened to Pablo if he didn't take Mama Out
I go right back to the spot we had the big fish the past 2 days and again this time I had the shads on and NOTHING. I look east again and see all kinds of birds so were off!!! We head back down to the EXACT SPOTS we had them in the AM and there were EXACTLY the same size and in all the spots. Kat and Pablo caught 2 Dozen Bass easy but no keepers??? Hey I was glad they were still there and we had to leave the fish Biting by 2:45 PM. Wind did pick up a bit from the west and made the ride home bouncy. Mama was happy she got to witness a Blitz and I got some nice video and shots of her in action... What a Fisherman she is becoming.

Nov 30 2007
100 to 1
When I called my wife this morning 8:30 AM the 1st thing she said was how ya doing??? I told her to get down here as fast as she could the BASS were biting MAD and Between Dean, Billy and Pablo we had over 100 Bass EASY!!! No Joke!!!
Ocean was calm and winds were light. The Weather Man said Rough Seas and WINDY glad I didn't listen to Storm Fields LOL!!! Ocean Temp still at 50 bay was 45.
1st thing we ran into was a baby SEAL in the inlet my picture didn't come out #$%@*%!!!
We tried the exact spot we had them at the past 2 days and I was hoping for 3 Pete but we threw our Blue Frog 1.5 oz Green Buck Tails and Yellow Josh for nothing??? I was shocked I look around and we went out into 40 feet of water and began marking Huge schools of bait. I tried to jig up some Herring but no good??? I even tried 2 different size Sabikki rigs still no good???
So there we are sitting in the ocean
at 6:30 AM and I look east and gasp at what I see ACRES and ACRES of Birds!!!
Dean and Billy are like what, where I don't see nothing. I keep pointing east
then all of a sudden there they were and we were the only boat in the ocean
Well they were so hungry this morning all you had to do was drop your Storm Shad in open the bail and WHAM Pablo On!!! The Bass preferred the Rubber Shads today over the buck tails but they still caught too. Pablo got the only keeper 29" and we just slammed the bass till 9 AM. Billy kept saying I looked like Heat Miser?
Why would he say such a thing? I though I was more like Freeze Miser???
Which One you think I look more like LOL!!!
Here's the rest of the Shots from the AM TRIP
I can't tell if Billy is Upset we left or that he one got 1 Keeper can you LOL!!!
THE BOY'S LIMIT OUT AGAIN
Nov 29 2007
After Yesterdays HOT ACTION I knew with this Low pressure system and all the Bait it would be a great day even if we had 3 hours to fish so I woke up at 5:30 Am looked out and we were off to the Inlet. Had Dean and Johnny Keeper with me today. Straight outside and it was CHOPPY. We moved right over to the same spot we had them yesterday and Dean's on 2nd cast nice 34". Dean Landed a few more Keepers 31,32,32" but it was Johnny Keeper with the POOL landing a nice 35".
All BASS caught on the 1.5 oz Blue Frog Chartreuse (Green) Buck Tail with YELLOW Josh again. Pablo landed a few keepers too but had to man the helm. The Ocean kept growing larger as the winds and sun came up. By 8:30 Am we have had enough and Johnny blew Chunks so we headed in. Shot a nice Video of Dean on the 32 or 33" I can't remember? It should be up in the video section. I hope this wind lays down soon... we did Limit out but I released my 30". Back at the dock by 9 AM. Be careful out there it wasn't to FRIENDLY today. See Video in Video Section

Nov 28 2007 PM Trip
Yeah !
Finally today was my day to get out on the water and try for the Bass... !!!!
We.. (Pablo and I) were not sure about when and what time to go AM or early
afternoon....
there is no predictability over the last weeks...
other than night
fishing and that hasn't been so hot for a week.
I have to make arrangements just to go fish....kids and sitter....cost me up to
$ 50. sitter fee every time....
getting skunk because of wrong conditions...tides,
winds, weather, temp..........Ouch !
So I decide and based on past year reports that I do have a shot in the
afternoon.
Don't have to pay a sitter drop my daughter off at school...jump on the boat for
3 hours.
Of course Pablo & buddies have to run out in the AM...and pull some nice Bass
up...I said watch we go this afternoon for skunk....
I said I don't care...I am going!!!!
And I don't want to hear you are TOO tired or you got a 36 incher already...to
bad you are going fishin AGAIN.
Especially since you didn't take me this AM.
Yeah that's right guys....you punish a fisherman by making him GO FISHING
AGAIN.....after he just got back in and has been up since 5AM.........LOL
Figures this morning my son wakes up a ill sick and I said rest up...because
your going to school at noon...Mama has been waiting for this.
Not to worry...doing homework and not playing any video games...perked him right
up...he was happy to go to school.
Drop him off by 12:30..drop my daughter off at 12:45....at the boat in 5
minutes...jump on...
Where is Dean and Laura...Pablo laughs he got a 40 inch this morning...
I said well what about his wife...Pablo said forget about it.
It was fine because Captain Bill was aboard and I have never fished with him
before...
so was glad I could get some input from Him and have his company.
What a beautiful day....winds laid down...zipped straight out the inlet...
tried
the white caps with Buck tail Chartreuse (Green) with Yellow Josh and Pablo get a
schoolie right off.
Old hawk eyes...Pablo would see birds far off...and we would go...I only had 2
hours now.
The fish finder was reading a lot of bait for 3 hours up and down.
A couple boats and Noreasters out there.
Didn't see too much rod bending for any of us.
Quick and small.
We
all moved around and tried working were the birds were sitting and diving.
Saw fish jumpin.
I pulled up 2 shorts, Bill got shorts, Pablo got shorts,...we were having
FUN...and some action...neck and neck for High Hook.......
My two mis-kasts and line getting stuck up in the bow that Pablo had to release
for me.
Tick, Tick....One hour left the big ones weren't takin buck tails...007's......so
Captain Bill rigged me with a blue Sardine shad.
Kasted high...let drop and reeled slow.....got another just short bass 3rd Kast
and a nice Blue...bit my shad almost in half.
Again Hawk eyes sees these birds working East....keeps pointing them out to
us....but we didn't have enough time to go there and make it back to the dock at
3:30 so I could get my daughter.
And we were getting low on fuel because of his AM run.
The other Boats took off after them....O' well...sigh...
We head back to the inlet and backside of the Breakers.
High Kast, drop, reeled slow....bumping bottom 14'...not sure but then...
Bang...ZZZzzzzzzzzzz...YES !!!!!!!!! Bass Favor !!!!
this IS a Keeper.....I Kan feel it....gave me a good fight...Pablo nets
it...always gets the fish in the net....
It was sooo nice to see a 31 inch Bass hit the deck...Finally !
2:50
PM
Time to spare...Head in tried at the Buoy a couple of times marking bait but had
to go back at the dock 3:21pm.
It was so beautiful out...Sun shining....I coulda stayed another hour or more
til it set. Even if all I got was shorts it woulda been action and OK.
God is Good !!!!

3 Short's and 1 Blue???
Sat Nov 24 2007
Went out today with Fisherman George, His Buddy Walter and Charlie. We headed out 6:30 AM ish on a COLD morning not much wind Thank God! I stopped off at my usual spots, water temp in the bay was 45/46 and ocean was 50. My fish finder was marking very large amounts of bait in the 10' depth and Big Bass again but, we had to takers by Patter Squash or Forge Pt? So I headed over to the Inlet and in the west cut like usual we had Shads all over and we hooked them on the Sabikki Rigs 1 dozen or so with 1 very small Bass too. We then Lived lined them from the back of the Inlet all the way through the small breakers for no takers??? I threw my 1.5 oz White Blue Frog Buck Tail with red Josh and connected with 2 27" Bass on the out side of the breakers. We all tried casting around and George diamond Jigged a Blue in 30 to 40' of water. We took a short ride east but nothing doing and headed back to the Inlet to drift and cast around again. Slim Picking's today sorry George we tried...
I'll get him out another time or in the Spring. No pick's sorry
Note to self Robert Mosses had Bass all weekend long so did Mecox!!!
BIG BASS!!!
Thanksgiving morning 11-22-07
Had BigBass out today that's Jr Noreast name. I woke up early and left my house at 4:30 AM. I wanted to beat the wind and rush of boats I knew would be hitting the inlet this morning. As I was dialing up Big Bass's number he was calling me, lol. Great your up lets go get em. He says to me to you mind if my sister in law comes out and friend I say no problem lets get going.
We hit one of my spots marking bait like crazy, No hits. Go down to another spot no hits again. Head down to the west cut at dawn nothing but birds working. Try the back of the inlet no good??? Ok so your wondering where the Big Bass right?
We Head outside and right into a HUGE BLITZ!!! Thousands of Birds working.
We move as close as we can get Breakers were a bit on the Large side. Stayed as long as we could but could not get close enough and stay safe and dry...
click any picture to enlarge

2 FISH???
Nov 21 2007
Had Cary, Peter, Dean and Kat out this morning.
Water was 48.5 in the bay at 6 AM and LIGHT winds with an over cast sky.
We hit Patter Squash and saw a few splashes and Dean hooks into a 29.5" Bass.
Pablo had a few taps but no hook up's?
Got the call from Kat baby sitter here 7:30 AM meet me by Union ave ok?
Dean Jumps ship has work so Kat replaces him and were off.
We try the west cut back of the Inlet out side by the breakers and even took a ride into the ocean, NO FISH??? MEGA BAIT around again. Peter hooks into a 25" fish and that's all she wrote we tried Forge Pt with the wind and out going tide with us. A few taps again but no LOVE??? We used Green, Green and White, White Buck tails. Metal lip swimmers, Yozuri Mega Minnow, Popper's, rubber Shad's and drifted Eels for NADA???
Gave the 29.5" Bass to Cary and called it a day around 10:30 AM
Heard Huntington North Shore was a bail job on the Bass
May try Tomorrow if Winds are low. Noaa calling for 15 to 20 but they have been wrong before so it will be a 5:30 Am decision.

ATTACK of the MINI'S
Nov 18 2007
Glad I didn't listen to the WEATHER MAN today! If I did I would have stayed home and missed 1 Great Day of fishing. SNOW, RAIN and WINDY was the forecast. We'll it was quite the opposite. NO WIND or SNOW??? RAIN??? All most to good to be true. I called Johnny Keeper 5:30 AM, SORRY LISA, and said what's it like outside? He said Pablo LET'S GO!!!
Next call was to Capt. Bill he said come get me. 3rd call went to Dean hello please leave a message... So I did and thought Ut-Oh guess Dean's not going?
Left the dock 6:10 AM gave Dean Last minute call again Please leave a message. Tides were still a little off water temp was 46 at the dock and 52 in the Ocean. Cold morning 37 but no wind it wasn't that bad. Stopped at Patter Squash nothing there? Stopped by Forge no one home. Hit my spot by the west cut where I been having some good luck all week, PABLO ON!!! 28" Bass snapped a pic released her.
I bet your saying I know what you got em on??? We'll here's where the story gets cool. Dean calls me yesterday afternoon hey man I'm at J+ H and there out of 1.5 White Blue Frog Buck tails. Ok get some more split tail Uncle Josh I say and some 50 LBS Leader material ok? Ok. So I say to myself, I'm down to 2 left better take a ride to Mr. B's in Patchogue. On the way I call Jr. He says Pablo buy a Green Buck tail I go ok, maybe? I'm a fan of the white... So I get to the store Mr. B's son is there and we start talking. He tells me water a little dirty Green is the color to use. I buy 2 Green 1.5 OZ Blue Frog's and a few white of course and he also tells me to try this special Baby Sea Robin 1.5 oz made exclusively for there store by the man who makes them. I say Ok I'll give it a try, 2 please.
So now that you know the whole story of the GREEN BUCK TAIL. I proceed to hook another 28" and a few shorts. Bill and Johnny are like what the F??? I tell them I have 1 more in my bag PLEASE USE IT! Capt. Bill would not but Johnny took me up on my offer and proceeded to hook up on the next drift with a 30" and another 28" too. Then we wanted to see if we could find some bigger fish and drifted the back of the inlet and I picked a few more totaling 6 for me 2 for Johnny and 1 for Bill. Saw John Gator he said Pablo out side to the east Birds working hard so We drift to the end of the inlet and proceed down the beach to find BIRD'S WORKING like MAD!!! Ocean had small waves on the clam side. We'll it was FISH ON on all most every cast. There were like 25 surf casters 1/2 mile east of Cupsogue Pavilion and we sat in 10-15 ft of water and just BAILED the BASS with only hooking 4 Blues for the whole time. We moved out to 40 ft when the bite slowed off the beach and proceeded to BANG more fish. Most fish were in the 22"to 27" mark but we caught some where between us 3 I'd say 60 to 70 Bass today. Light action poles made it great fun. We worked underneath the schools looking for Bigger Bass but all the keepers were in the bay today. We left them biting after hours of catching around 11:30 AM. Pablo worked the bay all the way home looking for that 1 Big Boy but Bill was shot and Johnny was tired from his late night lol. Anyway here's some pic's of the action I didn't take to many, we had triple and double hook ups all day long. So we were busy the pic's of the blitz don't do it justice and the Fish Finder was Marking like Space Invaders!!!

Back Breaking Blues
Nov 14 2007
Pic above was the smallest one I caught.
Woke up this morning to some light winds and said lets go!!! Called several friends but no call backs??? Anyway hit the water by 6 AM. Stopped at Patter Squash but nothing doing there and then Saw Geronimo Capt. Jim and proceeded to head down towards the Inlet.
When right back to the spot I was in yesterday and nothing doing there??? Had 1 Schoolie closer to the red can but no other BASS. The Rosie passed us by and then radio to all. Hey guys there's a HUGE BLITZ going on out by the sea Buoy!!!
Gannets Diving and Thousands of birds
working. Pablo was on that like White on rice.
Thank you Capt. James
I go to turn out the Inlet Sputter, Sputter, Sputter??? Oh no the port side engine out of GAS??? Dam those fish yesterday... So I put back to the gas dock by the Coast Guard Station Fill up and head right out to the Blitz.
What a Seen, I snapped a few pic's and said time to get the heavy tackle out. 2.5 oz White Blue Frog Buck Tail and of course red Josh. In 80' of water marking Bait like you wouldn't believe... Dropped the buck tail and 3 seconds Wham 10 LBS Blue bent my heavy rod over. Get him up quick release and back down again Wham another one... This goes on for about 1 hour. I caught about 1 dozen or so up to I'll guess 15 LBS, then I decided to try to see what's down there??? The birds are crashing the water but I can't make out what there picking up??? Sabikki Rig was getting me nothing??? So maybe it was small bait I don't know??? Only 4 boats were on this.
Here's some action shots from today the pic's don't do it justice.
Phone rings it's Mama she's got a baby sitter and wants to go fishing. Ok I'll pick you up. Head in around 10 AM pick up Kat and tell her about the blitz. I also tell her the wind was picking up and the seas were not to friendly. She says lets stay in the bay I said Ok it was all Blues anyway.
We try around the west cut get another schoolie and the tide dies. I say to her lets move over to my other spot we'll have the wind with the out going tide. She said where you got the Big 36"Bass the other day I said Yes and we move on over.
Kat Hooks up on a few more Schoolies and we totaled about 6 for the day but no keeper??? Oh well you can't win them all.
Captain Paul aka Pablo
Should I Stay or Should I go NOW!!!
Nov 13 2007
At 2 PM yesterday I was thinking I better
get gas and headed down to my boat. Tide chart says it's gonna be Low tide so I
didn't rush figuring I missed the action today. We'll they were wrong! Got down
to the boat took out 1 pole and set off to the gas dock. I guess the high seas
Monday night pushed the water way up into the bay because it was still high tide
and ripping out? I tried a few spots no takers, then I said lets go over to the
west cut buoy 7W,last year Johnny had a 31" keeper on my boat... Stop right in
front of the can and OMG marking BAIT big time. I cast out my 1.5 oz White Blue
Frog Buck
Tail with red Josh and figure let's catch some bait. I put the rod in the holder
turn to get the other pole and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! I go NO WAY grab the
pole and a nice 33" Bass. I look around to see I'm half way between the Buoy's
Ok go back up same drift same spot BAM! 31" No way this is 3 PM bright sun no
wind the low pressure left??? Ok so I go back up to the can 3rd time you guessed
it BAM 28" mow I snap a few pic's of this guy and I'm looking at the clock it's
4PM better should I head over to the dock? ONE MORE DRIFT then go Pablo. Ok set
up again BAM 24" now I'm should I stay or should I go Now??? Singing the clash
song in my head I decide that the tide was slowing and the fish were getting
smaller so I go. As I'm taking off I see not 1 but 2 Bass on top of the water
playing with a LARGE SHAD and actually tossing it around and trying to swallow
it. NO WAY??? I pull back both throttles and slide with in casting distance of
both fish. I throw my buck tail all most hit the fish get 3 tugs but didn't hook
up. I then still see the other guy on top I switch over to my top water plug got
close but he didn't even look at it. Nice way to end the trip. Oh by the way by
the time I made it over to the gas dock they left all ready LOL!!!

Who let the Bass Out!!!
Nov 9 2007
Today in Moriches Bass were everywhere!!! Pablo and Cary caught so many we lost count most were between 22" to 28" but it was PABLO ON!!! At times I wasn't even reeling and still hooking up. They were in the west, east, back, middle, outside, breakers, flats, Forge Point just look for the bird's. Low pressure made them bite there heads off. I think tonight it will be all big fish so get out there if you can... All fish caught on 1.5 oz White Buck Tail with red Josh Trailer. The smacked our Plugs too. We drifted Eels but couldn't take the watching the Birds so we went back to get some more. Only had time to snap 1 picture Crazy Action Man. Water temp 52 winds from NE 15 to 20

I finally got out today with Pablo. It's so hard to line up
a baby sitter and all but we did and I was glad to get the chance on such a
nice day. Don't get me wrong it was COLD this morning but I dressed for it and
we hit the water by 6:30 AM.
Peter (Bassman) gave us a Head's up call, THANK YOU PETER, and we stopped by
Pablo's favorite place. Light winds and calm water and I caught a 27" on my
2nd cast on a 1.5 oz White Buck Tail with Red Josh. I friend pulls up and says
Hey Pablo we just left the Inlet we nailed a few big ones up to 40" on an
eel's.
The next thing I knew we were pulling up to birds working by the west cut and
throwing our Buck tails but had no Hit's?
It was slack tide at the Inlet and we drifted for another 26" Bass on a
White Blue Frog buck
tail. Pablo Video me catching that one. Here's the Video and some pictures.
Click the Video Fish or the link below

The Ocean was Flat Calm and we went for a ride east to see
if there was any fish. We went down past Cupsogue and saw BIG SHOW walking on
the beach. Just then we saw birds working and hi tailed it over to the spot
but it was from a netter and we headed back over to the non existent breakers
and tried there for a while.
Around 9:30ish we started drifting Eels and the BASS LIGHT came on and
everyone started hooking up. I saw a few nice Bass being caught and I'm HAPPY
TO SAY I GOT MINE!!! A nice 34" bass took my Eel and gave me a good fight.
Pablo netted it for me and I snapped a picture and released her. It felt good
to do that and just like it was on someone shut the switch off. We stayed a
few more drifts but we had to be back the baby sitter had to go to work.
Hopefully I can get out again. I really want
to see a Fall Blitz I keep hearing so much about.
Thank You Honey

Pablo's a Shad off Today
Had a full crew out today. 6 AM start with 5-10 mph winds water temp was 50-52. We tried Pattersquash no takers so we moved by the west cut by the inlet and the shads were jumping. We threw our Buck tails to no avail and decided to use the Sabikki Rig and Cast Masters to catch a few of them. We could have filled the boat today but we only took a few to live line. The Shad's were all 16 to 20" range.
No Love on the Shads so we switched over to some Eels and found 2 Bass up to 29.5" in the back of the Inlet. Tim had a Huge one follow him up to the boat but wouldn't commit.
The Ocean was HUGE again today and there was some birds
working the BREAKERS. Didn't even try outside 6 to 10' it looked like

Monday Morning Bassing
Dean, Pablo and Capt. Bill had nice action today around the inlet. 6 Bass up to 20 Lbs all caught on White 1.5 oz Blue Frog Buck Tail with red Uncle Josh Trailer. Water temp was 52 in the Bay and 55 outside. Breakers were subsiding a bit and the ocean after the breakers looked calm. Eels and Clams were also producing some fish. Shads were jumping again around 7:30 AM. After about 1/2 hour all went quiet and we headed home early to get to work. Winds were light from the south.

Laura's 1st Keeper Bass!!!
Woke up this morning not sure if the storm mixed up the water, fishing is usually not so good after a storm. So I had to check out the boat make sure it was ok and all. On the way down my buddy Dean calls me hey I'm heading out with my wife (Laura) for a morning ride. I say hey it looks good light wind and all lets go!!! Great he says and we leave the dock 7 AM.
1st stop as usual only produced 1 25" Bass I hooked and passed it to Laura. She had a good time reeling that one in. Not much more a few bites but no hook ups. The water was 52.5 and surprisingly not as mixed up as you would think? Light winds made it very enjoyable and we were having a good time and all.
Laura being pretty athletic got casting down and we moved
over to the west cut. Pablo Stop's the boat and wouldn't ya know the fish
start breaking right in front of the boat. I swing the boat and Bam Dean's on.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz his line going out. I know it's a keeper but the way
it's taking line half way up it spits the hook. Ok so we move up a little,
this time it's Pablo On!!! ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz get the fish all the way to
the boat and it makes the last second dash and hops off the hook
We did land a total of 6 Bass but Laura was the Queen today landing her keeper.
Then just like that the bite shut down and we tried a few more spots but no more hook ups. Our Buck tails were hitting into Shads and a few other boats were hooking them on Sabiki rig's. Dean had to pick up his son so we didn't bother to catch the Shad's. Ocean was still ripping by the breakers we didn't dare go out there.

Storm Brings Big Bass into Shinnecock Inlet
The
talk of the town this past week was the monster striper caught by Mike Milano
on the South Side of Montauk. At a whopping 61 pounds, it was the biggest bass
caught from the surf probably anywhere in the country since Mark Malenovsky’s
64-pounder caught under the Light back on Thanksgiving of 1993. Mike had a
55-pounder just two weeks ago that he had to let go because he already had his
keeper for the day (talk about good karma).
But the fishing has
changed since that night. The prolonged night bite that had produced the bulk
of the fish this fall has since switched over to a daytime event. Montauk had
the most action, as usual,
but
the fishing picked up in a big way in Shinnecock and Moriches too, largely
because the millions of peanut bunker that grew up in local bays this summer
moved into the surf zone.
As the remnants of
Hurricane Noel approached the East End on Friday, the peanuts flooded into the
surf all along the South Side of Montauk, and they’ve been there just about
every day since, getting eaten by hordes of bluefish and bass.
Shinnecock and
Moriches anglers had fewer fish but bigger ones, particularly under the
leading edges of the storm on Friday evening and Saturday morning, with fish
in the 20s and 30s. Eric Kreymborg had a 35-pounder on Saturday at
Shinnecock, and there were some nice fish taken off the rocks and out at the
Moriches bar as well.
The rain minnows
seem to have let us down this year with the big September and October blitzes
never really materializing. But this has been the year of the bunker, so it is
fitting that they would bring the first shots of really good fall run fishing
we’ve seen.
Pretty much any
bayman will tell you there were more bunker in local waters this year than
there have been decades. Why, is anyone’s guess but their resurgence is
welcome since bunker are traditionally the engine that drives good striped
bass fishing.
A couple weeks ago
I pulled the boat into Three Mile Harbor looking for some big adult bunker for
striper baits. I found them and was glad they were sitting tight still.
And then I found
something I didn’t expect to find: a dense black school of really, really tiny
bunker, not more than an inch or inch-and-a-half long.
I like to think I’m
not completely clueless about most things to do with fish—no doubt there are
some old baymen that will challenge that belief after they read this. But I
guess I always just assumed that bunker were extremely fast growing fish, as
most little forage fish are, and that the peanuts we see in the summer and the
big adults that leave in the fall were the same fish, the offspring of the
adults that show up in our creeks and harbors sometime in the spring. But as
soon as I saw these tiny bunkers I knew something about what I’ve always
thought about bunkers was way off.
First of all, those
little bunkers being present at the same time as the medium-sized peanuts
meant that either bunker spawn more than once in a season or they do not grow
fast enough for the peanuts to have been this season’s young. Turns out both
are true.
Some quick reading
in my dog-eared copy of “McLane’s” revealed some interesting facts about
bunker. First of all, they are not fast growing at all. Bunker, in fact, don’t
reach spawning age until they are more than 2 years old—an age that anyone who
witnessed the carnage on the beaches this week can tell you must not be easy
to reach.
But in order to
make up for this, bunker have developed a rather unique habit: They spawn all
the time. Bunker spawn throughout their fairly wide range (Gulf of Maine to
the west coast of Florida, with the biggest concentrations from the Outer
Banks to Massachusetts), continuously throughout the year, at least two or
three times and maybe as many as five.
So, this accounts
for the different sizes of bunker we see here in the late summer and fall. The
tiny bunkers are this year’s spawn, fish born locally in early spring. The
peanuts are likely last year’s offspring and are not spawning here at all but
just biding time—or waiting to get eaten by something—until they can make the
run south again. And the adults in the fall are the same adults that showed up
in the spring, probably a little bit bigger.
Just a little
trivia for you fishermen out there.
Catch ’em up. See
you out there.

I'll Have 1 Dozen Bass Please
Monday Oct 29 2007
Woke up to CHILLY morning 34 degrees and NO WIND and said to myself. Self go fishing... So Pablo listened and off he went. Got out to the inlet by 6:30 AM to be greeted by some birds working the back of the inlet. Exactly the same thing happened 1 year ago to the day. Caught 11 Bass all on a 1.5 oz White Blue Frog Buck Tail with red Josh. Decided to check things outside. Ocean was Flat Calm. Tried my spots, no fish? Saw some birds working and headed over to them. My sonar looked like space invaders, solid red from 20 to 30' of water. Tried, for say, 1/2 hour no fish? It looked like the terns were picking up spearing? Wasn't sure so I tried the Sabikki Rig nothing... I was getting low on fuel and decided to head back in to get some gas. The NW wind picked up and we moved over to Pablo's Point lol. Now with the wind and tide with us I picked up 1 more Bass rounding it out to an even 1 Dozen Bass for the day...
Water temps was down to 56 and I'll bet this afternoon the bite was on. Saw Johnny B, Yabba Dabba Doo out there he got some nice ones on Eels. Wish i had brought some.
Had a Blast on light tackle 12 Bass up to 28" All released!!! Here's last night's Dinner at Mom's house Oh Man was it GOOD!!!

Johnny Keeper
Sunday Oct 28 2007
Got out early with the boys this morning before the wind 6 AM. Hit the Ocean and Johnny hooks up on a nice 31" Bass right off the bat. Tim Nailed a blue, Then the wind started to pick up and made it Uncomfortable to work the Breakers so we moved inside and had a Strong NW wind and Incoming tide made it no good there. So we moved back to one of my spots and had the wind with the tide Bam Johnny gets another keeper 29" and Tim lands a short at the same time. We stayed there for about an hour till the tide turned. Then with the wind at our backs and the start of the out going I thought the bite would be on in the west cut but the WIND was increasing to 20 to 25 MPH making white caps in the bay and we decided to head back to the barn early, 9 AM. Tried another spot where the wind was a lot less but no takers. All fish caught on 1.5 oz Blue Frog Buck tail with Red Uncle Josh. Water temp was still up around 60. This week coming should bust things wide open. Ocean was Rough. Max was waiting for us at the Dock.

Friday Morning Bass
Oct 26 2007
Pablo had his crew out today looking for a nice morning bite and we sure did find the Bass biting. Pablo had a nice hook up at the point but lost him. We then headed over to the Inlet and in the west cut I saw a fishing working on top. I spun the boat and Dean was on with a nice 28" Bass. After that we kept working that area and landed several more Bass to 30". The east wind and Incoming tide made it perfect conditions and we didn't even have to reel to hook up. 1.5oz White Blue Frog Buck Tail with Red Josh was the ticket. Johnny got a nice 30" too. Captain Bill got his on a artificial Eel. A lot of fun had between old friends and we headed back to the barn by 9 AM. By the bridge we ran into a Blitzing Hickory Shads and Pablo nailed a few with his Sabikki Rig. We released all but 2 Bass and went to work smiling. Here's a few pic's from today's action

Bill's Is Back
Oct 24 2007
That's Right got my Good Friend and Mentor Captain
Bill out this afternoon for some Lunch Time Bass. Funny thing I went down to
the my boat at noon just to check it out and started the engines up and well
you can only guess what happened next LOL!!! As I was heading out of the canal
my phone rings it's Bill hey man what ya doing? Let's go fishing! I say I'll
be there in 2 minutes I just left the canal I'm heading your way. He doesn't
believe me but my boat has one of those Truck Horns ( LOUD). So I say open
your slider and listen. I blow my horn, HONK!!! He goes great this is the 1st
day in a month, I feel good enough to fish. You see Bill's been fighting
cancer and a bad shoulder for a while now
.
He tries to act like there's nothing wrong but I know him for 20 years and
he's hurting BAD. He had a cat scan this morning and we'll know the results
in a few days he said.
I tell him I checked my reports back to 2002 and on
this day I always had Bass by Pablo's Point. That's right Pablo's Point. Since
everyone claims theses spots are there's I might as well start claiming them
too
.
So we start throwing a number of assortment's to the no avail, around Pablo's
Point. Hmmmm I say to Bill let's try Pablo's Breakers I know there has to be
some Bass in PABLO'S BREAKERS!!! I'm claiming the Ocean too you see I lived
here since 1965 and fished there my whole life. Some people think I have no
idea that there's fish in the Pablo's Breakers. Or where the Bait is but I'm
gonna claim the Bay, Creeks, Canal's and River's too. This way any fish caught
in the entire Moriches area I can claim was caught in my spot and should be
returned asap
Ok so we set up turn the back towards the breakers and wham Bill hooks up on a 32" Bass 1st cast too. He puts up a good fight and I net the fish. This all Happens at Lunch time and were back to the dock in an hour with a nice fish for Bill's Mom.
Way to go Capt.Bill!!!
Pablo's last Orient Trip for 2007
What a great night of Fishing Pablo had in Orient. The weather couldn't have been better. Warm summer like temps, sea's slightly on the rough side but we must have caught close to 50 Bass tonight. Pablo nailed 11, Kat got 9, Chris (Napster) must have got close to 10, Bobby Perriera also landed close to 10, Eric also had a few big ones and Lou Najack grabbed the pool fish close to 25 Lbs and landed close to 10 fish too. Constant action on all most every drift with multiple hook ups. Although the Cows weren't in full force tonight we limited out by 8 PM and were throwing back keepers. Only 2 Big Blues early on the all Bass for the rest of the night.
click any picture to enlarge
We had a lot of laughs and even Big John was in a good mood. Ken the 1st mate did an excellent job and Filleting all out fish before we could snap a group pic so we decided to take one with the filet fish LOL!!! Like I said we had a lot of laughs and Good time. I would like to thank Capt John for a GREAT YEAR of BASS fishing. He always put us on fish and I look forward to next year all ready. The Sundowner is a great Boat and what more can I say about Orient. Anyway here's some pic's and I know I'm gonna feel sore in the morning...

Pablo on big Blues
click any picture to enlarge
Invited Steve Boyd 
out on the Mama Mia today. Pablo, Eric and Steve tried all over and threw the bag for Bass to no avail.
However we were treated to a huge Bluefish Blitz. It was funny, there was
around 10 boats drifting the inlet not much going on. When all of a sudden the
sky is filled with birds and the breakers erupted. Every boat headed out to
meet these BLUES.
There was double and Triple hook up's and these fish were no slouches!!!
They spit up spearing all over my deck and we nailed a lot of them. Eric hooked into a double header all on white Blue Frog Buck tails with red Josh and teaser hook. Nice way to end the morning fishing with everyone's line singing ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and the sounds of PABLO ON!!! Being heard across the Ocean.
Really cool thing to see Small fluke being chased by Bass right out of the water several times. Also the blues were so big they bent my hook on one of my Bull Frog Buck tails. I have some awesome video of the Double hook up click the video fish.
ALL FISH RELEASED!!!
Thank
You

Fall fishing finally gets rolling
First things first. There’s been talk going around that Brookhaven Town
government is planning to outlaw the discharging of firearms within town
limits. Let’s just dispel that little tidbit of misinformation.
According to Michael Pitcher, former author of this column and now
Brookhaven Town Supervisor Brian Foley’s communications czar, the town
has no such plans for any laws limiting the use of guns in the town.
Michael, about as avid a hunter as there is out there, said the only law
that has been proposed is one that would lift a ban on carrying guns on
town parkland specifically to allow duck hunters to have their guns with
them at town boat ramps. So there you go.

also made the Manorville Press Nov 2 2007 issue
Now, on to
fishing. The rain minnows that had been packed up against the jetties of
Shinnecock and Moriches Inlets for the last two months were apparently
flushed out by the storm and have clustered in the surf east of the
inlets where bluefish and small stripers found them on Sunday. Most of
the fish were blues with only a few schoolies mixed in—no keepers that I
heard of. The beaches west of Moriches seemed to give up a few more bass
than the other spots did.
The inlets
are still holding some decent fish. The guys bouncing buck tails in both
Shinnecock and Moriches are picking some good fish on the early morning
and late afternoon tides. White buck tails are still the trick with all
the bunker and herring around.
The talk of
the beach this week was the president’s proposal to allow states to
designate striped bass as game fish. The move has been the raison d’etre
of
a dozen recreational fishing groups for decades. It’s a noble cause but
one that I, personally, feel is unnecessary at this juncture considering
the tiny share of the catch that commercial fishing represents anyway.
The commercial sector is arguably better managed in New York than the
recreational, taking far fewer big cows out of the breeding population.
We’d be better off imposing more responsible management of the
recreational catch and let the commercial guys have the extra few bucks
they can make off selling bass. Give weakfish the protection of game
fish status instead.
The reefs off
Shinnecock and Moriches are still quiet and were basically dead after
last week’s heave set in. They should be getting better as the water
cools in the next week or so.
The water
temps are still in the mid to low 60s, but they should be dropping
steadily with the cool nights this week. It will definitely get the fish
on the move. Look for the peanut bunker to begin heading for the open
water soon if it stays chilly. How long the baitfish hang around will
depend on what the weather does in the next few weeks. If it stays mild
we could get a month or so of good fishing in. But if we get a serious
cold snap, a few nights below freezing, it could wrap up pretty quick.
Here’s to Indian summer (which, by the way, is defined as when the
temperature reaches 70 degrees after the first autumn frost).
Lastly, my
deepest condolences to Christopher Voelpel’s family. Chris was killed
the other night while on his way to fish at Shinnecock.
Catch ’em up,
Chris. See you up there.

What a Great day we had on the Mama Mia.
Eric and Pablo hit the water at 6:30 AM and headed for the inlet.
I was surprised not to see Huge schools of blues
and Bass working at 1st light???
We proceeded to hit 2 Big Chopper Blues around 12 LBS Plus in the ocean and
then decided to drift some clams while the incoming tide was still strong.
We didn't get much action drifting but as soon as we anchored up
we had Constant action with 12 Bass up to 31" Eric got the big one.
Well the tide ran out on us around Noon and we set out to find some live Bunker in a few Spots I know hold bait.
Pablo was showing Eric how to throw the net and he did good casting and was able to put some in the live well.
Pablo was able to net at least 100 small Bunkers with the net and we got gas and headed back to the Ocean.
We tried live lining them but the wind picked up and it wasn't working out.
So we decided to try the out going tide and anchor up again.
This time the west wind had us facing east and the tide running south.
No good we pulled the hook and started to drift again
but there was to much Sea Weed on the out going and we decided to head in.
On the way home I decided to try some of my favorite spots
and on the 1st cast hooked into a 33.5" Bass on a Storm Shad.
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!
My line was singing my favorite song once again.
And she put up a gallant fight even jumping right out of the
net
But no match for Pablo. We released all our fish to swim another day.
Total 15 Bass up to 33.5"

Inside and Out
Took Kat out last night and Eric for some after work fun. Working the west cut with my 1.5 White Blue frog Buck tail with Red Josh I was able to nail 3 Bass up to 27" on light tackle in about 5 minutes. Looking for some bigger fish we tried fishing the Breakers producing another 3 Bass exactly the same size 27". Eric nailed 2 huge blues over 10 lbs on a popper. And Kat got 1 Bass. All released to swim another day. Headed in when it got dark. Things are heating up in Moriches anyone want in on this action give me a call. Here's a pic of my Good Friend Louis Hooking up on a Bass.

Looking For Bait
I went on a little scouting mission. I wanted to throw my cast net again so I wouldn't forget how to do it. I went up several Creeks That I Know hold Bait and found exactly what I was looking for. My 1st throw netted me 4 Pea Nut Bunkers. After seeing them half stuck in the mesh I then realized my net mesh was too large for this bait. I'm gonna buy a smaller mesh net today. I made a few more casts and filled the well. Also caught a snapper too.
I headed straight out side to find Huge waves and not so fun conditions. Fished out side for about 1 hour resulting in 1 Bass 24" released unharmed on a 1.5 oz White Blue Frog buck tail with uncle Josh red trailer. Nothing on the Nuts???
I then drifted the inlet with only a blue fish to show for my trouble's. I made a long drift to the back of the Inlet where I was pleasantly surprised to see Bunkers jumping out of the water at Dusk again and big smacks all around my boat. I quickly threw out my Bunker with no weight and it takes off great! What I get another 24" Bass. I probably should have stayed longer but this cold has the better of me and decided to call it a night. Got home took some Nyquil and past out. Anyway anyone have a recommendation on a Mesh size net I should buy?

Pablo and the Man in The Orange Shirt
Was invited out for some Bonitos/Albie Action today from the Man with the Orange Shirt. Met him at the ramp at 6:30 AM and we headed out. Looked all over found a few schools of fish here and there. The Bait was so thick we had Millions of them right under our boat. We saw some birds chasing bait right out of the water and I hooked up on a 8 Lbs Blue in 1" of water. I actually threw my white buck Tail on the beach and as soon as it hit the water Pablo On!!! We had several more Blues in various sizes in a few spots but those Bonitos/Albies kept eluding us.
About noon we were into a nice size feeding frenzy and I was pleasantly surprised to hook into a nice Bonito on my 1.25 White Blue Frog Buck Tail. Awesome time out there on the North Shore I had. The Man with the Orange shirt is quite the fisherman. Making his own Flies and all. Steve I want to thank you again for a great time sorry about all the Blood I got on your boat. Your a gentlemen and I owe you a trip on the South Shore. Here's a few shots from today. Also saw another good friend hooking up as well.

Pablo Surf Fishing?
Hi all sorry for the late report. John
-Sparkie1871, Wayne- Walruss22 and Pablo- Mama Mia headed out to the inlet last
night. Arrived about 9:00pm ish , the wind was blowing from the South about 10
mph and the water was very clean. Through the usual buck tails and Metal Lips. I
wound up with 2 blues /10 lbs+ and a bass about 32 inches . Wayne picked up a
fat blue also and that was it for the night.
The best part of our night was seeing Pablo in waders casting a 10 ft stix
carrying a surf bag that we all chipped in with. Pablo didn't catch anything but
he had a blast none the less. Paul your one of us now welcome to the Dark
side>>>anytime LOL.
Benny Bass
MARTIN I didn't post because I thought we were under the surf
casters Rule
.
You know fish and don't tell. Anyway I have some excellent pic's of you sliding
down the rocks and holding that Bass you nailed. What I got a big kick out of
was you guys calling me crazy for fishing Moriches in a boat
Hey Rock Hopping on slimy rocks at night is way more dangerous than being on my
boat. Anyway I had a good time and would like another crack at it. 1st I'm gonna
buy that Metal lip you have and some Wader that fit
PLUS CORKERS!!!
Excellent experience

Fishing with Sea Lion for Bonitos
I was fishing
with a Sea Lion today aka Cary in MT. Sinai Harbor. I've been talking to Cary
since the BBQ and told him I would love a crack at those Bonitos he nailed the
other day. Cary called me last night. Pablo come on down and we started the day
by Cast netting 3 dozen or so small Bunker. The bait was so plentiful it was
Crazy! What a nice place to fish very protected. Lots of structure. Saw a very
Famous boat and Fishing person too but, I'm not allowed to talk about it.
Shhhhhhh!!! PABLO!!! They'll kill me if you post anything!!! So I will not
!!!
Even the fly fisherman wasn't hooking up??? Oh well we did run into several
Blue Fish and 1 HUGE BLITZ on the way back in the Harbor. Lots of fun on light
tackle. Phones started ringing and we headed In. Thank you Cary for the
invite! You have to ride along with me next time

Saturday Morning Surprise
Got out this morning alone to hit the outgoing tide. Lots of weed and the water was very mixed up like coffee. Before the tide started to move I tried the back of the inlet again hoping for a repeat of the other day. I was casting my 1.5oz Whit Blue Frog buck tail with Red Josh when I get a hit. Bang, bang, bang, What the hell is this? Small Blue? No it's not running? I pull it up and surprise a 20.5" Fluke! Nice surprise.
So the tide starts to turn and I drift some clams for 2 Bass @ 22" . So much Sea Weed it was ridiculous!!! Breakers were ripping and outside the Ocean was kicking so I didn't bother. Snapped a pic of Eric Eman58 hooking up on a Bass. Hope the water clears up. And that storm stays away. Look at the sea weed on the side of his boat below.
Sept 6 2007
Ran to get my boat
Picked my boat back up today. Had a problem
with my windless Anchor. Thought I was gonna be out for a few days. NOPE Loose
wire some where but now its all good. Yeah!!! So I got to the inlet around 6:30
PM saw birds working all over the bay picking up small bait. My sounder was
marking bait all over. Heard from Gil, Eric and Ed the steam Fitter no Bass yet.
Hmmmmm I started looking around nothing out side. Looking to the back of the
inlet I saw some more birds working. Tried my favorite thing 1.5oz White Blue
frog Buck
tail with red Josh. Bam PABLO ON!!! hooked up on 1/2 dozen Bass up to 24" left
at 7:30 I didn't have any snakes with me or I would have stayed plus I wanted to
see the Opening night Football season GO COLTS!!! Good to be catching in my own
back yard again. I didn't have my camera so no pic's sorry. Eman (Eric) also was
hooking up. I bet they all did good tonight. Hopefully I'll be out tomorrow
night as well.

Headed out with Capt. Bill to look for that BIG MAKO
As we rounded the east jetty we saw a big school of 3 to 5 lbs Blues Breaking on the surface.
Of course I had to catch a few for fresh bait, and we proceeded to our spot 10 miles out.
We set up shop and began Chumming
1 hour later I hear a call on the radio is Pablo On???
I swear I was setting the Hook when this came through the speaker.
I say to Bill, Q the mic and I yell PABLO ON!!!

Another Successful Orient Trip
That was the feeling from last nights Orient trip. Pablo started off with a 1/2 dozen Blues in the box 10 LBS plus then as soon as the lights went down.... Show time the Bass started to TAP. Tap? you say? Yes, Tap our Eels. They were picking them up you would lower your rod, BIG JOHN yelling LET EM EAT! LET EM EAT! You wouldn't even get the chance to set up on them and they would spit the Eel???
This was happening to 3 out of the 4 Ploes last night. Strange. But like usual we Capt. John kept us over them there fish and sooner or later someone would hook into nice FAT 25 LBS fish. Yes All of the Bass were fat last night between 25 to 30 Lbs. We only had 1 throw back. Everyone was calling on the radio where's the fish???
Big John kept us out an Extra hour so we would meet our Limit and on the last drift Timmy and Anthony(Aweiss4428) Nailed the last 2 and that was it. Here's some pic's from last night Sorry I was to tired to post last night.
Hey Does anyone reconize that thing Hanging from my Hand...Thats how you take a Picture. Wink, Wink.

Full Moon Bassing Orient
Monday night Kat
and Pablo went to Orient looking for the Cow
Bass
Also Joining us were Bob, Carlos, Dean, Johnny and Chris. We started the night off with some Porgie action. It was fast and we all caught a bunch of Porgies to live line. Then Capt John of www.SundownerCharters.com set us up over a spot with our Porgies but the Bass weren't having any part of them and we moved on. Switch to Buck Tails and the Bass started Chewing!!! We easily limited out with the Bass and Eels were producing the largest fish. Pablo himself caught the Pool Fish But we were all ready caught our limit and I released the 30 + lbs to live another day. Here are a few pic's from Monday night Bassing.

A Fluke with No Tail
I was watching the weather all week and planning on Sharking today. I had all the Blue Fish from Capt. Amanda's Boat and Pablo was good to go. Woke up this morning checked the forecast and it said 5 knot wind 2' seas with 17 second gap. I said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I had to call Cesar and tell him no wind + no drift = No Sharks! I said I could take your money and go for a boat ride but I'm not like that. Instead I told them lets go Fluking instead and we made the right call.
1st we hit a school of Blue's by forge pt. They said they never seen fish jumping out of the water like that and they all caught several up to 5 Lbs.
We headed for the Inlet looking for what ever
didn't see anything working so we headed straight out for Fluke. Did get a
heads up from Gil Thank you! But decided to fluke. They caught ALOT of shorts
don't know how many??? We did manage 4 Keepers today and a lot of laughs. One
of the guys was scared of the skates and the Gustavio would get so excited
every time he caught a fish he would make this sound like Daffy Duck Woo-Hoo!

Buy these Hot rigs for Fluke right here from Capt.Bill
Click the Capt. Bill's Fishing LOGO
Cesar and I rescheduled the Shark Trip for a later date. I heard from the radio there was no drift out there and no sharks caught as far as I know right now. So I think we made the right choice. Also thanks to Jay relentless for
telling me to go deeper for the keeper flukes. 80' was the ticket just west of the
Sea Buoy.
Note to self Bait was so think it looked like the herring run WOW!!!

Thank You Capt.Amanda
The Bass are heavy at the Moriches Inlet lately. This is great, and you usually see Pablo all over this like white on rice. How ever I need Shark Bait so I Hit the North Shore hearing they been killing Blues all week. Got down to Port Jeff and Jumped on the Osprey with Capt. Amanda and her Dad Capt. Stu. Never been on her boat before. We'll we didn't even get out the Harbor and were into fish. Pablo On!!! Amanda Laughed, talking in the 3rd person Pablo? I just smiled and she un hooked my Blue. Then the whole boat hooked up and she was running around helping everyone. You should have heard the women screaming when they caught a fish. There were a lot of smiles and memories made last night. It did rain a little but it passed us by and everyone had a good time. Let me just say this boat is a great Family boat and OUT STANDING CREW. Not only did she help everyone she sliced and diced them like a PRO!
I am definitely coming back. Filled my Cooler with MAKO CANDY
and won the pool
Amanda didn't want her picture taken? But I snapped a few anyway. Ha Ha!

HONEY I JUST WENT TO GET GAS
swear I had no intentions of fishing, Kat, really lol. I just
went to get gas for the weekend Shark trip. So were getting Gas and watching Pea
nuts jump all over the canal. My Garmin is marking huge lumps under the boat. I
say to Carlos tomorrow I'm going to buy a cast net. He said he would show me how
to throw it and wished he brought his. Why is that when you go fully prepared
you get nothing and when you least expect it BAM there all over?
Anyway we pull up to Gil and there's BASS ROLLING ALL OVER THE PLACE. AH, the
site of huge Bass, just smacking there tails, and rolling on the top... I had a
moment there, I drifted off while writing this report lol.
click any picture to enlarge
ok I'm back, Pablo threw everything Man, I mean Everything at them no takers. Sea
Cents is next to us and he says hey you want some Peanuts. I say sure and he
hooks us up with a dozen or so. It quiets down fast like all blitz do and
everyone leaves including Gil? Has soon as they all cleared out they started
boiling again. Wham fish on for Carlos, Come on a short??? Now these Bass must
have gotten a notice from the DEC or just getting smart because they kept
playing with our bait picking them up running a little then dropping them. In
the middle of this my cell phone going off, It's Kat "what ya doing?" Were in
the middle of a Bass Blitz got a call you back. She's mad she wanted to get to
see that. I'm like I didn't know this was gonna happen??? I gotta go Honey call
you later. I later learned Grandma had the kids and she wanted me to pick her
up. PABLO'S IN TROUBLE AGAIN LOL!!!
Then Gil calls, His calls are always like this PABLO, GET OUT HERE click. I
always laugh and say one day I'm gonna call him and do the same LOL. We head
outside and the breakers were ok, we proceed to have our nuts mauled again with
a few run off's but no hook up's?
It's getting dark I say to Carlos lets go back to where we started it's calmer
and I bet we'll hook up.
Were down to 4 Nuts and we start drifting my line goes Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yea I'm thinking set the hook and the line really goes
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Carlos goes man you got a good one and it still
going Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I yell he's Taking a Hell of alot of line like
Quint and Carlos says what you want me to do? I say start the engines, he says
really? I go no man, just reliving the Shark trip from the other day. But the
fish is still running. I check the drag it's good so I apply a little more
pressure, POP, goes the hook and I just Shake my head. Then say a few words
@&%$,@^$#@,*&^%^#@. We'll that was it did a few more drifts, did take some cool
video of the breakers and Carlos's run off.

Domenic out for some family time and Fluke. Ocean was Flat calm so we decided to
try outside in 65' of water. The Flukes showed up on Que and the kids had a
Ball. Several Shorts and 4 nice keepers up to 22". Not bad for a 3 hour tour.
The Capiletti's then wanted to hit the beach by the east cut so the kids
collected some shells and played in the sand all in all everything was Good.
Hope to hit the water later today. Great Family George and Maria. Fluke bite is
HOT anyone want to get in on the action Give Pablo a PM.

The Battle of Will's
Today I finally met my match. Capt Bill and Pablo decided to make one more try for the Noreast 1st place big dog Mako/Thresher Shootout. We stayed close because we weren't sure about the unstable weather. Set up shop at the 1st set of fingers ,10 miles out. 10:30 AM zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for over 1 minute long, I got all on video too. 2 jumps at 500 yards it's a Mako Looks Huge Bill, I say. We'll this Mako NEVER stopped running we had to start the engines and run her down. I actually had to dump Cold Ice water on the reel because it was so hot. After 3 hours of this Capt.Bill shoulder can't take no more and he passes the pole to Pablo. Now that she stopped running it became this GRUELING 1 foot to me, she'd take it back game. NEVER in my 17 years of Shark Fishing did we ever see such a fighter and smart fish too. another 2.5 hours and we got down to about 100 ft. But this Fish after 5 1/2 HOURS could still take line. every time we thought this was it, she run under the boat and we had to quickly turn the boat, OVER and OVER and OVER..
At 4 PM the Thunder starts rumbling and Bill says we better do something fast were running out of time. We decide to change places again and RUN the fish down Hard! We back up on her get a lot of line she go under the boat. We go along side her speed up get all most all of it back. She go under the boat. We saw color once but only for a second never got a shot at the wire. Well After 5 1/2 hours the knot gave away as we were reeling her in. Easily over 500 LBS. My biggest to date is a 310 LBS Mako that only took 1.5 hours anyway I have some video of the fight but the jumps were so far out you can see them but not enough to tell the size from those shots.
Score for today
500 LBS Mako 1, Pablo 0
I'm going back Tuesday I have her address...

Picture says a THOUSAND words. Last night aboard the Sundowner we had one HELL OF A NIGHT. KAT WAS PURRING BIG TIME catching 8 or 9 keepers herself and was high hook. CAPTAIN JOHN totaled 26 KEEPERS and a few HUGE blues before sundown. We started off Parachuting Landing several Bass up to 30 LBS. WILD GOOSE (Chris) who last minute took Gil's place had this BIG ONE. Nice Pic Chris!!!
We LIMITED out by 8:30 PM but we kept throwing back 20 LBS BASS leaving open the last 4 SPOTS for the BIG BASS. Good thing to the Big one was caught by Pablo easily a 35 pounder. One of the High lights of the night came when Kat got SLAMMED by a huge fish taking Drag and her down the side of the boat. I grabbed the pole to help her as she was screaming WHOA!!! and the line was ZIPPPPPPPING OUT. I said OH THIS IS BIG and she started to try and reel for about 1 minute we never did gain any ground and the fish bent the hook and got away. I knew that was the best of the night and called it in the car on the way out. Saying this time it's gonna be Kat's night. She was the KAT LAST NIGHT. Her prayers to the Baby Jesus was answered. We were a FISHING team last night, SHAKE AND BAKE BABY!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!
Mark Kafagga ,Tim Ashton and Paul Randazzo who filed in for Dean all had several keepers in the 20 to 30 lbs range. We kept only our limit and I kept the Blues for my next Shark Trip.

Pablo and the Pearlie Whites
Headed out for the 1st Shark Trip on the Mama Mia Sunday. Headed 25 miles south east out of Moriches to 200 'of water 3rd set of fingers. A wee bit far, but we were looking for a BIG MAKO and Capt.Bill's spots usually Produce.
So there we are seas weren't bad on the way out except for the last 2 miles they started to build to 4 footers and get close together. This and the wind 15 to 20 made an excellent drift and by 10:30 AM we had our 1st Shark on. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz yes! Rob fights him for a while, 100 lbs Brown Shark wow after all these years and literally 100 plus sharks I never saw a Brown. Cool we take some video and pics and bye bye he goes.

butting up a good fight what is it? Another Brown Shark 135 to 150 lbs wow 2 in

Boat side while Bill was on wire duty the Hook straighten out
Now It's Pablo time. 11:20 AM zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz even faster oh great this finally could be the one. This time the sharks not pulling straight down like the Brown Sharks he close to the top. Not extremely heavy and I boat him Fast. What is it? It's a Mako!!! But only 75 Lbs. Very cool and we took a lot of pics and video tried to get the hook out but he got real pissed when I did that and TRASHED his little head causing me to lose my small hand gaff. Check out the 1st Mako Pic he looks like he's smiling for the Camera LOL
So we re set again 12 Noon this time zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Who's up? Capt Bill This time the Shark's making runs and pulling drag After 1/2 Hour cause of his shoulder Bill handed Pablo the pole. Can't do it bro my shoulder is burning. To his credit he tired out the Shark and all I had to was get him to the boat. What was it? ANOTHER HUGE BROWN 200 + Lbs. Really got some nice pic's again and video.
The seas were building to 4 to 6 footer George Blew Chunks no pics of that LOL, But this shot was right after that. We set up once again. zzzzzzz, zzzzzzzz ,zzzzzzzzz what the Hell is this? Blue fish? Oh no a School of 10 lbs Blues showed up and began to eat our baits. by 2 PM we had enough and started to hook these Bad Boys for our next shark adventure.
The wind was howling and the cooler was sliding and I said man this is not gonna be fun ride home. Good thing we chose the SE location cause I was able to ride between the waves at only 15 mph for about 1 hour then as we got closer to land the seas got calmer and calmer back at the dock by 4 PM.
Even though we didn't catch the BIG MAKO we still had a great day. The Mama Mia handled great and I can't wait to get back out there. If any of you want a crack at them just give me a call 631-433-6220

Family Time
On Saturday afternoon had my other Cousin and her family out on the Mama Mia for a little ride. We weren't really gonna go fishing but I always have a pole on board just in case and after we had the Fresh Bass Steaks from Cousin Dan's 40 lbs Bass off the BBQ we headed out for a sun set ride with hopes of some fish to show up.
We hit the inlet around 6:30 PM and there was some birds working, but I didn't see any fish working under neath them? So I sent out 1 pole with some fresh Clam on it and we made some drifts. The kids were all having a ball just being on the boat and they were casting the small kid rods I have and just taking it all in. Well we didn't catch any fish that trip but on the way back we were witness to a beautiful Sun set. I stopped by the bridge because I saw big crabs there the other night and sure enough there they were. My son was on the spot light and Chris was on the net and the kids were so excited to see some crabs. It's one of those summer moments you'll never forget in your life. We did it as kids now we and always talk about it now we get to share the experiences with our children and see there faces light up from a crab. I guess it's exciting because there's an element of danger. CRAB'S BITE so you have to on high alert when one comes into the boat LOL!!! Anyway Celeste and Chris let's get together soon the Full Moon is coming this week and the crabs are biting.

Dan and the 40 LBS BASS!!!
We hit Orient again Friday July 20 for some Bass on the Sundowner. We worked hard to get only a few Fish on board. I think the high pressure system that moved in shut the bite off??? Anyway I had my Cousin Dan you nailed a nice 40 LBS Bass on a live Porgie. He's friend Rob, Pastor Mike, Brother in Law Gino and my friend Mark.
Sea's were a little rougher than usual because the wind was blowing but we did manage 5 Bass and several Porgies. All the Bass were over 25 LBS. We didn't catch much but they were still BIG. Captain John tried real hard said, this had to be his worst Bite of the year. Hey it happens that's why it's called Fishing. To the Sundowners credit I have been on so so many trips on this boat all except this one we had our limit of HUGE BASS and or we were throwing back Keepers. Sorry Guy's If you want I can book another trip for us. Let me know, here's the pic's from that night.

The weather was Hot and water was calm in the bay, the ocean on the other hand was a different story. Small craft and they weren't kidding. I did see the Rosie out there but I wasn't taken any chances so we drifted the Inlet.
Kat Joined us for about 1 hour and hooks a Bass around 20".
Bassman (Pedro/Peter) had a few hit's but missed the sets. He did have one
nice fish on and passed the pole to his wife Sue. I thought she was bringing
in a cow till, some how it got off Gosh Darn it!!!
Go Kat Go!
We made a few more drifts and Hayden got to reel another small Bass in. He did a good job of releasing her too.
The wind started to pick up and the Boys wanted to Fluke for a while. We tried by Buoy 15 had 1 hook up but Colin lost him before we could see him. We were drifting at 2 to 3 mph. I had 8oz on just to hold bottom. Had several hits but the wind was just too fast to get a good set on any fluke.
All and all it was a great day. I let the Boys take turns
driving us in and even Sue drove for a while
Peter you have a great family and your always welcome on my boat.
Hayden did a great job helping me clean up and Colin grew so big since our last outing in the fall. Hey this time there was no blood and Puke lol.
Here's a few shot's of from the day. I'll bet the Inlet lit up at sun down I was marking a lot of bait and the birds were working heavy.
also all most forgot saw my friend Dave Arrest/Spot and his family on there boat above
Thanks for the sandwich and good times you have some great kid's there Pete.
Na na na na na na na Bassman!!!

Home sweet Home Evening Blues
I went out last night looking for some Blues yes Blues. I need a few for my Shark Trip. So I picked up My Mom and Sister (Pam) along with Emily, Katie and Little Daniel. We left around 4:30 and the tide was all most done so it was LOW. Anyway I made my way down to the inlet to see mad Birds diving all over. Trouble was there was no fish??? So I said lets just see what's outside 1 year ago today I had them outside so we went ocean flat calm but no fish. I said to my Friend Dan wait it's gonna get crazy here tonight let's drop them off and come back. I let Katie May drive on the way home and Nephew Daniel was such a good boy he just slept all most the whole time.
After returning home to Mom's new and Improved Back yard!!! I said to Dan lets go to Violet's Cove now called Anchors and wait for the tide. We ate like to king's and about 7 PM the tide started to move so I said lets roll. We hit the back of the Inlet and what do I see FRETLESS! Hey Jan want a few of Fretless in Action? Sure he says and I snap a few and proceed to this mad Blue Fish Blitz in the back of the inlet. I say to Dan we only have till the sun goes down then it will shut off like a switch. We proceed to catch 22 Blues in the 5 Lbs range and just like that light's out. Now, Normally I wouldn't even think of keeping these Blues but they are perfect Mako Candy and I had NONE in the freezer so we headed for home. Short and Sweet trip Video should be up on Mama Mia soon Good shot's of mad Blitzing fish.

Johnny Keeper had his biggest fish of his life 35-40 LBS we didn't have a scale but it was a lot bigger than Pablo's 30 LBS and Government Bill and Johnny's Pop also had Big Bass up to 30 LBS. The BITE was on and the we hit them right off the Bat!!!
All fish were caught on either BUCK TAIL'S or Eel's we DID NOT need to switch over to heavy wire Parachutes this evening. Capt.John just kept on moving and every spot had big fish. We also THREW BACK over 2 Dozen Bass most being Keeper size and we had a few blues too 5 or 6. Just another awesome night full moon water was again CALM and no rain or thunder storms.

Pablo's 42nd B-Day Orient Bass Trip
Kat say's what do you want for your 42nd B-Day Pablo? Of course
Pablo say's, a Night Bass trip on the Sundowner and I want you to come too.
Tuesday Night the Moon was all most full, the weather was Hot and the sea's
were calm. Bob was REALLY happy about that
Kat and the award
winning video the she won't let me post. Let's just say she was huffing and
puffing but she got her fish
So that began to
slow down and Capt.John again takes us over to a new spot and it's Eel's over
the side with Matt the 10 Year Old GREEN HORN rigging our poles and Eel's. I'd
cut him in for a full share he worked so hard and never gave up or complained
once
Pablo also catches a 30LBS along with Joe and Timmy
We were all doing great had plenty of keeper and a few throw
backs and then the bite Died again??? So what do you do switch over to Buck
tails and play in the rips. This also produced some nice Quality Fish and
that's how we ended our Night Buck Tailing in Orient. Just wanted to say thank
you Carlos for picking up the Secret Sandwich with those nice Strip's of
Mozzarella and Red Peppers you caught a lot of hungry Mouth's
Book this Captain if you want to catch fish like Kat(above)

Pablo, George and the Secret Bait
Had Great company aboard the Mama Mia Thursday. I received an PM from George asking if he could come out fishing with me. He told me he needed to have his friend Charlie drive him out, I said no problem I have a big boat with a nice soft seat in the back. We hit the water around 8 am and I saw some birds working around forge point. Of course I'm not gonna pass up birds working, and we caught several Blues and 1 Short Bass in about 15 minutes. Great now we had the fresh Secret Bait I love to use. Shhhhh don't tell no one but I like to cut a fresh Blue fish filet's, with the skin on, into strip's. With Capt.Bill's Hand made 6" Fluke Rig tipped with the Secret Bait I knew we were gonna catch fish. If you want to get these rig's go to www.mamamiafishing.com click the link's button and click Capt.Bill's Fishing.
The Radio was, hey you got any, no, you no, none down here. I said lets try straight out the inlet 50' within minutes we had Fluke Action all shorts but at least we were picking. After Bill and I caught several fish I say to George and Charlie you guys want to try this rig. They were buck tailing and said Sure we continued to pick for a while trying a few known spots but the wind picked up and was pushing us at 3 knots from the west. So we moved into the bay trying the east cut since the incoming and a west wind blew us east and to Fast.
caught I think 2 more flukes and some robins but the keeper Eluded Pablo.
Switched over to Clams and Drifted the Inlet for a few Short Bass. and then Charlie's reel goes over and he's on with a big Boy. Zipping line and he's fighting this fish and reeling and he's pulling more drag for about 1 minute. Then about 20' from the boat BOINK the fish is gone and when we reeled the line in the 9.0 Gamakatsu hook was bend??? We then made several more drifts till the tide died and called it a day. We had steady action all day And I invited George Back to fish again so we will get that keeper For Sure. I up loaded a video of George Catching a Bass here on Noreast so check it out.
Hears the pic's from the day

Paul Anthony's 1st Grade school trip
N 40 41.631, W 072 59.377
I had my best surf TEAM out with me and I knew
they wouldn't let me down. I know a lot of people think it's wrong to burn a
spot but after you scroll down and see what I caught I just know EVERYONE will
be plotting those GPS numbers in and RUSH down to WATCH HILL after reading this.
Ok here's the specific's I arrived at Watch Hill at 10:30 AM and walked over the
boardwalk to the Ocean. The tide was heading out but it was a nice clam sea with
a few breakers on the shore VERY FISHABLE. Water clarity was GOOD not a lot of
weeds and the water temp I would say 60 degrees.
Here's where it gets good! Now I didn't have my pole or even a lur but you stick
Pablo by water and I'll find something to catch and a way to catch it!!! I
Grabbed my 1st one with my hands Yes my hands and then a 2nd all of a sudden
everyone was down at the beach doing the same thing. Everyone ended up catching
and you should have seen all there faces. So without any further a due here's
the Ultimate Catch!!!
Pablo On!!!
Oh yeah just wanted to thank the BOYS for Helping me out!!! Way to go Guys you

You Can't Always Get What You Need
But sometimes you get just what you need...
That was the story last night I was invited again to fish with Carlos and Louis and jumped at the chance. So we hit the inlet 6:30 PM after work and caught the last of the incoming Tide. We Hooked up on 5 Bass up to 27" right off the bat. Carlos had a nice one on for a minute taken drag zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz but spit the hook. Tide died and so did the bite. Gil came out and hooked up on a nice fish next to us. We then waited drifting clams for about an hour till the tide started moving out. Thought it would be a slam feast not to be. Only 2 more Bass. we had some nice bird action again and there was one guy on the tip of east Jetty Hooking up on some nice Blues One after another(seen in the pic below). I only threw one cast to them just to make sure they were only blues down there and I was right 1 Blue on Buck tail. We drifted till dark and Gil stopped by and gave us some Eel's he was heading in. We drifted for about another 2 hours with really good strong tide but no takers on the Eel's. All total 7 Bass all released 1 Blue. We worked a few spots on our way home. Had fish splashing around but could not get them to connect. No Skunk but good times had by us.
Just got the Call The Mama Mia is ready!!!
Got to go
Capt.Pablo
Thank's again Carlos!!!

"FINSTITUTION"
Pablo and Carlos
40 Bass Day
My boat is in the shop having the Radar/GPS installed so my good Buddy Carlos asked me if I wanted to fish with him. I said sure thing let's meet at 6 AM Sunday and go. I picked up some real nice Fresh clams from Smith Point Bait and Tackle thank's Craig, the night before. It was Outgoing tide and we proceed to hook up on some nice BASS. Boat traffic was building but not to bad at 1st. Around 11 AM we were out of clam and tide Catching around 15 BASS up to 36". I say to Carlos lets go get some lunch, bait and gas and come back for incoming. We proceed to the restaurant by the coast Guard Station Wind-Swept's now under a new name Belle something sorry I forgot but the food was good gas price wasn't bad and we headed back out.
Now the tide was ripping incoming when we got there and a lot more people. It was like this we had 2 diver's at the same time, some where around, 25 + boats fishing, some anchored up in the worst spot, Wave runners flying by, Surf casters tossing from both sides, Occasional Speed Boater just flying by, Coast Guard doing Spot Checks, Fish and birds breaking making everyone nut's. And there's Pablo and Carlos Hooking up on BASS on every drift. We were having a Ball laughing with the radio on pulling in BASS, AFTER BASS, AFTER BASS. I think the total was over 40 BASS only because we had 18 Clams and we caught 15 in the AM and when we returned we had 30 More Clams and we came home with only 5.
Carlos Thank you so much for inviting me on your boat. There's always a spot for you on mine. Let's hope the fishing continues to be so good!!!
Only Keeping 2 BASS 36" and 31" There's some nice pic's of some throw backs and All most forgot I have some new Video Running on my site. Check out Fluke Girl with sound catching her 1st keeper Bass. I know she looks like Mia but it's my friend Scott's Daughter, Christen From Noreast.

When in Rome
Had the Pleasure of Fishing the North Shore today with Capt.Desi. I didn't know he was gonna take us on his day off on his Private Charter Boat but I'm glad I went. I bring all my south shore Fluke rig's and my Blue Fish Strip's that work so well for me on the South Shore. Capt. Desi looks at me and says Pablo what are you gonna do with those. I say catch Fluke, he says, put that 3 way rig away grab your light pole and use this 1 oz Buck tail. I say really he says this isn't the south shore. WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMAN'S DO! I have no problem with this and proceed to rig up with the lightest Buck Tail I have 1.25 oz White with a teaser hook.
Water was FLAT CLAM and the Sun was Shinning!!! We started out east of Port Jeff using Spearing on the Hi/Low and we had a steady pick all day. Now these fish were VERY picky. I'm use to a strong current and drift not that way on the North shore at least not today. The slightest lift of the pole and you missed a Fish. I watched Desi let the fluke all most hook them selves and then it was all fun from there. Wasn't long before we all had some keepers in the boat and many throw back's just missing the keeper mark. Capt.Desi kept saying today was slow but I was having a ball. You know me as long as my pole bends Pablo's Happy... After we got back to dock I tried to give Capt.Desi some money he refused several times and said this was my day off and I enjoyed it fishing with you guys. He wouldn't even take Gas Money. I also would like to thank Joe Felicia for the Invite. We also passed Capt.Barb out there she looked like she had a boat full of people so we didn't bother her. Hey if you really want to fish the North Shore Check out Capt.Desi web site www.celticquestfishing.com
Tell him Pablo send ya! LOL!!!
So Here's several pic's from the Day.

Michael's 16th B-Day
Took the Family out to Great Gunn for a Memorial Day fun on the Boat. I was surprised to see not that many people were out on such a Beautiful day. We anchored up and went to the Ocean had some fun with the waves ate a little lunch and headed home around 5 PM. On the way home I saw some bird's working and just had to try for a fish or 2 for Michael really wanted to fish but with 9 People and little children aboard I thought it wasn't a good Idea. So I made a few cast's and Wham Fish on I let Michael reel him in you guess it Blue Fish. Then Michael hooks up on his own and the Blue does one of those acrobatics' moves a shakes the hook. Not much more than that it was getting late just wanted to post some Pic's for Michael

O-La from the X-Bar
11,622
Got an PM the other day from Carlos (Finstution) saying Hey Pablo love your new boat and was thinking about looking into one. Can I come check it out? Hell yeah I said. Let's go out say 5 PM Monday after work. Carlos says see you at the dock. I told him on the phone to bring his grundens. Carlos said, why do I need them? I say well you don't have to bring them, but I would if I were you.
I pass by arrest spot Dave on the way out. We talk on the radio and I tell him I'm going to the inlet I'll give you a heads up if there's anything going on! Sure enough as soon as I hit the mouth there was a HUGE BIRD seen going on all over. Carlos and I quickly hook up into Blues and I call Dave on the cell get out here it's mad blitzing all over. Now were catching Blues on the Yo-Zuri Mag minnow, and we both switch over to the White Buck Tail with Red Josh to get under neath theses fish and nail some BASS! Well we had NON-STOP action for say 3 hours and don't know how many fish I'll guess 50 Plus. I say to Carlos lets work the X BAR I know there Bass over there. Just before dusk Carlos line goes ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and we both new it was something besides a blue I get the Net and a Fat 30" BASS is landed!!! Yes we worked hard for that fish but it sure made the day. I took some insane video of the bird action and snapped a few of Arrest spot with his Pole Bent. Carlos, your a great fisherman and you are welcome on my boat anytime. Don't worry I'm going to the bait shop today and try my luck with some soaking some clam's.
Today looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The Bite Is Still On. I would hit the breakers If I was you or PM Pablo my boat is Huge!!!

50 to 1
That was the ratio today for Blues to Bass. For every Fifty Blues I caught (ALL RELEASED) I caught 1 BASS also all released.
I started off today with the bright Sun Shinning down on Pablo and as soon as I got out the canal a thick FOG rolled in on me and I could see 10 feet in front of me. I threw the Hook by the 2nd piling from the middle at the Smiths Point Bridge and proceeded to Hook up on every cast on BLUES in the 4 to 10 LBS range. This went on for 2 hours. I stopped counting when I hit 50 because that's when I landed my 1st Bass of the day. I threw Yo-Zuri Mag and Crystal Minnows, 007's split tails, Buck Tails and a variety of other plugs all worked to catch these fish. If you want to buy some of these HOT LUHR'S click http://stores.ebay.com/Capt-Bills-Fishing for great prices! There was a few surf casters also catching at will, I snapped a few shots of them. As soon as the fog lifted I proceeded down to the cranberry hole and landed some more blues and the FOG rolled in and out so I threw the hook again and landed another BASS around 24". The FOG lighten up around 11 AM and was able to see birds working around the Patter Squash area. Of course Pablo could not leave with out investigating so once again I landed more Blues and 1 short Bass. NO JOKE MUST HAVE CAUGHT OVER 100 FISH TODAY! My whole body hurts especially my hands and arms lol.
The Police Boat stop's over by me just as I hook into the Biggest's Fish of the day 10 Plus Blue. It's my friend Charlie! Hey Charlie what's happening you guys want this Blue Fish. Nah he says I wanted to see your new boat. Where's Kat he ask's right away? I said I just called her and she's on the way to meet me by Union ave right now. He says you better get a BASS?! I said you didn't see the report? She all ready as 2 for 2007. He said lucky for you LOL! I ask Charlie to snap a few of the boat so I can use them on my web site he says no problem and snap's a few of me. Thank's Guy's!!!
Now it's around 1 PM and I pick Kat up at UNION Ave dock.
Kat bring's me 2 New Mag Minnow's and Lunch and COFFIE!!!

Pablo Working the Flats
May 14 2007
I was up early this Monday Morning and saw 0 MPH wind and
decided to make a run for the Bass. I'm glad I went!!! I called Capt.Bill and
Dean I got no answer so I went all by myself. I took my trusty Video Camera
and set it up on the seat next to me. I have to tell you I was hooking up left
and right on Chopper Blues and some smaller ones and a few short Bass from 6AM
to 8AM. All fish were released and all caught on the Yo-Zuri Mag Minnow. Water
was like glass and I was the only guy out working the Cranberry to Patter
Squash area. I had Bird's working all over and fish breaking. The sun was
rising and the only other guy was the Scungellie Trap guy and he came over to
me and gave me a few Poppers that were caught on his traps. I said thanks
man!!! I shot like 30 Minutes of the coolest video's and I'm working on them
right now to get them on My Site and Noreast. It was great to be out there and
catching the hook sets on Video. I only took like 4 pic's and of course this
Bass was the smallest fish I caught. I had to do a Bassman and hold it up and
snap a pic with the other hand LOL!!!

Saturday afternoon I took my Father out along with Huckleberry
Tim and Capt.Bill looking for some Bass steak's for Mother's day dinner. I
decided that since the incoming tide was happening we would fish from the
inlet back to home base the Smith Point Bridge. On the way out I saw some
birds working in the flats just south of Buoy 11 and 12 on the south side of
the sand bar. I tried to go around and get in there but the water runs out
FAST and didn't want to chance getting stuck. I saw one guy up in there and
said to my guys bet he's catching some nice Bass up in there. He was in a
small center console perfect to get up in there. Hey where's OMD skinny water
Raft when you need it lol
Anyway we peaked out side the inlet and no one was out there? It was slightly rough and would have made fishing not so comfortable for POP's so I decided to work the back of the west cut towards the island behind the inlet. My father doesn't have much patience so after about 1/2 hour he was sitting down talking on his cell phone. I say to him your never gonna catch that Bass sitting there with your pole in the holder... He says there's no fish in these waters, as soon as he spoke those words my line goes zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and I go really here i pass the pole and he lights up like a Big Kid at Christmas. I grab the video camera and shoot him catching his 1st fish of 2007. It was a Chopper Blue 10 LBS plus. Then ever body started hitting one after another. Bang,Boom, Pow fish all over the deck again. We released all but 3 that got badly hooked. They can't keep off the Yo-zuri Crystal Minnow and Mag Minnow's. We all tried different lurs yesterday from Buck Tails to rubber shad's and even other plugs no good. As soon as the Minnow was on Wham fish on...
Well I had to get back in for my 10 year anniversary dinner with my wife so we started to make our way back home. Fish were by the mouth of the forge river with birds working. Then we stopped by Forge point more Blues there, then we stopped by my Favorite spot Patter Squash but to my surprise no fish but we really only made 2 drifts there. I said to the guys bet ya the Bass bite would have turned on right around dusk. The wind was starting to lye down but Pablo had to go... Glad to see my Pop back on the water again and hooking up on some fish. We'll get your Bass next time POP Jackie Peanuts say's the big ones should be my way in a week. Hope he's right Stayed Tuned...
Capt. Pablo On!!!

WHAT'S DA MATTER WITH THESE FISH?!
I went out on my boat today. I'm minding my own business, I'm not bodering anyone. I'm just sitting there with my 2 good friend Joe Felicia of www.websbyjoe.com and Capt.Bill http://stores.ebay.com/Capt-Bills-Fishing right. When all of a sudden I see this big Fish start to eat my Plug. I say HEY WHAT'S DA MATTER FOR YOU? YOU'S GOT A DEATH WISH OR SOMETHING??? But this fish doesn't care he keeps trying to eat my Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow that I just Bought from Capt.Bill's on line Tackle Store. I tell him SNAPPER HEAD go ahead Try to take my plug I'll break your freaking neck!!!
So this 9 LBS takes my plug and starts swimming away with it. I
lift my Rod tip up and Slam 3 Hooks into that little jerk. He makes a few more
runs and some cool leaps out of the water but in the end I pulled his @ss on
board and Said that's what you get for messing wit Pablo. Bada-Bing over the
head with a baseball bat and put him on ice... The same thing keeps happening
to me and my 2 buddies. Then we see some bird's working our corner and proceed
over to wack some more Blues!!! Then out of no where one of these fish must
have broke out of Jail because he had Stripe's running Horizontally on
him. Pablo land 2 of these escaped Convict's and Joe Web land's one too. We
snapped a few pic's and told them Wise Guys to beat it and don't come back
till your at least 30". The Fog started to roll in and Aqua stops by to see
what we were up to? I switched over to my Secret British Spy Lur 007 and on
the 1st cast Bam another 9 Lbs Blue. Hey we go again... No I have to tell you
this went on for 3 hours but we let a majority go with just a warning. BRING
BACK YOUR BIGGER FISH OR ELSE!!! Well those Bum's didn't show up. They were
Lucky too cause I might have had to call Jackie Peanuts, Bobby Waldbums and
Mojoe to come down here and break some heads

Kat's Got the Blue's
10,225
Another good trip was had by the Peluso Family. I left the dock at 4 and headed over to Senix marina for gas $3.84 a gallon. On my way down I see a Osprey Nest and the Mama sitting on a post looking for bunker. I snapped a pic of her got gas and headed to the dock to pick up Mama,Mia and Paul Anthony. We stopped by the bridge and there was shoulder to shoulder surf casters on the south side. I guess someone must be SPOT BURNING LOL!!! Oh well nothing happening there. The tide was out going and slowing by the minute. I quickly headed over to Patter Squash working the south area between the red Buoy and the sand Bar. Mama quickly hooked into a nice 9 LBS Blue on my new favorite Plug Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow. I shot the whole thing on Video and it came out pretty good. She then proceeded to land another Blue on the Mag-Minnow Yo-Zuri Plug. She also hooked up on 2 more fish, but they escaped the Kat's Claws before Pablo could Identify the suspect...My son and daughter also helped Mama Pull the second fish in also on Video. The FOG really came in and Pablo headed in totally on the GPS for I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me. Heard there's a big storm on the way. And I want to thank Mark aka Iplayfair for this Plug Stand. I told him I would use it to show off my store bought plug's LOL!!! That's what Happened Wed May 9 in Moriches...

There's Blue's In Them There's Water's!!!
THERE'S BLUES IN THEM THERE'S WATER'S!!! LOL! I took the crew out for the crack at the Bass and Blues this year. We started off by Patter Squash and Pablo nailed a 7 to 9 Lbs Blue on a Yo-Zuri Mag Minnow. The rest of the guys hooked up on either small 3/4 oz white Blue frog Buck tails or other plugs. We were doing pretty good for a while then it slowed down around 6-6:30 so we headed to the inlet. We just missed Gil land that Bass he posted about. We picked a few more Blues right around where he was. Then we moved out side to see my FAVORITE THING HAPPENING, BIRD'S WORKING!!! Get the 50 LBS Floro Carbon Boys were headed for some fun. There was 5 guys on at the same time it was like a comedy show. Fishing flopping,Blood Flying,Who has the pliers? Watch out don't cross my line. Don't know how many fish caught WE RELEASED THEM ALL, BUT FOR 1 THAT SWALLOWED A PLUG. We all switched over to WHITE BUCK TAIL with RED UNCLE JOSH and tried to get under neath the blues. Timmy Nailed 1 Bass around 25" and I got another one around the same size. The Boat handle better than expected. Plowed through the waves and didn't rock much. It was so nice to have those 4 strokes running and not get Fumes in your face or hear them even running. Sorry no Pic's,I for got the camera because I was loading the boat with all my stuff and left it on the seat. But you all ready seen at least 3 to 4 other reports of the same news. I know, I know I never leave home with out it. How do you think Pablo feel's? Anyway a great day of fishing was had by all of us we headed back to Patter Squash and tried for that keeper Bass till 9PM. So by the time I washed down the boat and got home it was after 10PM ate and feel a sleep on the couch. I tried to get it done this morning but work got in the way. How dare that WORK LOL!!! That's the way it was May 5 2007.

Pablo's and Kat's 10th Anniversary
9779
Today is STPAUL's
aka Pablo and My 10 year Anniversary.
And yes...I ended up fishing....dinner to follow next weekend.
(For those that follow the Angler Lounge on the discussion boards.)
As fate would have it...the Boat was ready for take off....What a Present to my
Beloved !!!
So of course Pablo raced down at noon to the Marina and jumped on board.
I told him I would come down with my daughter and Son and take a ride.
He couldn't wait until 5:PM for us.
So He called some buddies Tim and Bill to check it out around 3:PM.
When I called him to say we were on our way...he was so excited they started
hooking up from first Kast.
I have to say when he told me that...I was itching to get out there and start
Kasting myself.
I have been waiting since November to try again...and only Kaught one BLUE fish
in the fall when I started and some guys have been bustin on
me all winter.
By the time we got there they were returning and
THEY had Kaught 3 huge BLUEfish around 7 LBS. They lost a few due to no leaders
and no net on the boat.
They really didn't intend to fish let alone Katch.
My husband was in heaven to not only be on the new boat but
that HE landed the
1st FISH on board the New Mama Mia.
We really had no intentions to go fishing he says ...yeah right...the Sun was
out a beautiful spring day
and the tide was moving so how can you not throw a
couple of Kast's. Who's he kiddin'
He picked us up...My daughter waiting on Dock for Daddy with her Barbie Fishing
Pole in hand...we jumped aboard....and
He made a B-line back to where they were Katchin because his BLUE streak was
interrupted by having to go back and get us.
We all couldn't wait to get Poles in the water.
My son Paul-Anthony drove us out the dock beeping the horn and a little further.
Capt Paul took over and off we
went for the very first time as a family. ALL of us to fish!
Immediately my daughter Mia has her Barbie Pole over the side and
the Capt hands me a light action Seeker rod with
a Shimano 4000 and 10 lbs test mono with a Yor-Zuri Crystal Minow.
The fish loved that today.
Go Gettem kid...he says with a big smirk.
Its been 6 months since my first fishin attempt so back to fishin 101.
My Kasting was terrible at first and I was so worried about hookin the kids that
I still ended up...
to my frustration hooking the side trim on our brand new
boat...sheeesh!!!
I was swiftly de-hooked and given patient instructions on how to make the
perfect Kast.
After a little lesson...
I make a Kast and all of a sudden I get slammed with a fish???
No way... !!!! What do I do now? ....Just Hold on and REEL!!!
Now the pole bent in half, the line is screaming out of the reel, my 3 year old
daughter
is yelling and throwing her Barbie Fishing Pole with her plastic fish
on it in my way....imitating me.
My son's also giving me instructions.....
At first we couldn't tell what it was until it leaped outta the water...Its a
Bass, Its a Bass !!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm really trying to reel this BASS in and listen to instructions...
stop
reeling if the line is screaming....keep the lines tight.....
Mia is running around my legs... Don't reel when the fish is running!
Look out for the engines!!
If your line hits the prop's bye bye fishie!!!
I see it coming jumping and bring him in...
Pablo has to grab em...again we have No Net...
He leans over and out the back and get's a hold of the fish while I hold the lines tight and try not to lift or the line
will snap...holding our breath until....The fish was in DA boat....Yeah !!!
Everyone is jumping around with the fish...
Well if that wasn't enough excitement for one day I then proceed to land a
schoolie Bass and a 10 lb +/- BLUEfish and not a cocktail !!!
Had no Glove so couldn't hold em up...
Man they are fun to fight...!!!
I lost one fish on the line but he felt worthy with his fight..wish I Kaught a
glimpse of him.
My son helped reel in two Blues.
The first Bass was just short of a keeper.... we released both Bass.
We Kaught 3 - 7 to 9 LBS Blue's.
Mia was happy with her lil plastic fish for now...but truly another OMD in the
making.
Husband smiling ear to ear...What a Anniversary Present for him!!!
(Not so bad for me either...but shhhhh don't tell him
Fishing with the family!!!
What could have been better than that?
Oh by the way...I have to mention this for any inquiring minds and all the
discussion board debates about it....LOL
We were out 3.5 hours....Both my Children and I had to use our new enclosed
head.
Son, daughter and me in that order.
However...as was predicted my son officially christened it, the bowl, the floor,
and the walls...Thank God it was enclosed and for baby wipes.
If we didn't have this simple luxury that I insisted on to the questioning and
ridicule of some fishermen we would have had to cut OUR trip short or Mia would
have wet herself all over...with no change of clothes...because my 3 Year old
and 7 year old can't hang over the side the walls are too high....it was 54
degrees out with the wind wiping.
All I heard from both is......Mama I have to tinkle...NOW !!!!
If we had to go back in...
I would've never Kaught my first bass, and had a blast with my husband and
children.
Vid will be up on the web site tomorrow.
For now here is some pics as proof!!!
Happy 10th Anniversary Captain Paul !!!!!!!!!!
Your wife and First Mate

the 1st Noreast hand's on Seminar
Pablo had one hell of a good time today at the 1st Noreast Hands on Seminar for TOG/Blackfish. First I would really like to thank Noreast for putting on such a great learning experience. There's nothing better than Learning with Hands on People teaching you the How too's.
There's a lot of thanking to do so let me say thanks to Captain Mike Marks and Captain Steven Cannizzo for putting this together. Also a Really Big Thank's to Captain Desi, Chris and Pete the Crew of the Celtic Quest. A TOP NOTCH Job on showing everyone how to Anchor a boat over a wreck and explaining to us all they knew about Black fishing and Putting us On the Fish today. And what trip would be complete without the 1st hand Knowledge from Captain Neil? He not only came on the trip today to show us all his knowledge on choosing the right fishing rod for the job but he also brought several different ones that we all could use. Pablo took full advantage and used one of Capt. Neil's custom rods and Managed 3 shorts and went home with the rod. Thank you Capt. Neil!!!
Ok let's see I think everyone caught fish!!! There was so much discussed that there's no way I could tell you all. I have like an hour of video to go over and I will be putting together a video for Noreast in the next couple of days. I just wanted to Thank everyone that was involved in making this happen and if you didn't go I urge you not to miss the next one!!! Fantastic Presentation 2 THUMBS UP FROM PABLO!!! GLAD I COULD BE A PART OF THIS!!!
Thank you George!!!
Pablo On!!!
