You guys should have gone south! :) I launched at river's end at around 4.45 :o I figured to be on the water ealy,hit my milk run and then get the hell outa dodge!
I ran(real slow and tedious) to the back side of coney island and 1st couple casts with the spook got nothing.Then my next 2 casts I missed a couple big fish,they weren't really eating it and didn't hook up. ;( Iwent drifting by a small island and put the spook right next to the bank.When I got on top of the weed edge I saw a decent fish just kinda nip at it,I paused then twitched it a couple times and actually got to see the fish come underneath it and just eat it!Fish on!!:7 :7 It turned out to be my best one of the day 7.5# and a face full of my spook! :+
The rest of the morning was spotty but I did get more good fish mostly on the spook (1 on a buzz bait and missed a couple frog fish).I think I ended up with the 7.5,a couple that were 4-4.2, and 3 more between 3-4#. :7 :7
I got off the water around noon and didn't have any misshaps(what a suprise!)Funny thing,when I was wiping the boat down a wakeboard boat had taken out and getting ready to go home.I asked the dude if there was something wrong with the boat and he replied"we just want to get off the water before all the drunk yahoo's get out" Pretty funny.
If any one goes out sunday or monday be careful out there!
