BIT OF FISHIN, WITH PICTURES.

[charlie_the_tuna]

got out for a bit with my pop today and had a great day.
went for fluke and had a bit of everything.
you cant go 100 yards without running into bluefish this time of year. huge school of 3 - 5 pounders going nuts on huge schools of spearing. action was too hot to go for camera but heres my pop bouncing for fluke.

wish i still had my salty tank setup. he woulda been the star of the show.
pretty little fish.
all in all, a good day.
caught a bit of everything, had great weather and spent 2 hours in sanity.

Wow CTT, you are a chip off the old block aren't you!? ;D ;D

Looks like a great day with dad.

Could that guy in the V pass any closer and he could clearly see
you are fishing, he coulda slowed to reduce his wake.
Some people are just inconsiderate.

[charlie_the_tuna]

yeah parish another fine day.

in his defense we were drifting right down the middle of the channel of a relatively narrow inlet. we all do.
fish there for a couple hours and a hundred boats blast through there.

you shoulda seen the 65 hatteras go through at about 15 - 20 knots. threw a wake had us all holdin on.

gonna try to find a few pictures of the inlet.

[charlie_the_tuna]

heres a shot looking out (west) .
if it were a better pictur you would almost be able to make out sandy hook new jersey.

if anybody heard of the small thresher that swam up on the beach in the rockaways last week, its that beach on the right.

[Blue_Runner]

Is that your dad or is it you? Honestly I can't tell the difference ;D

That's camera takes a nice picture - you should use it more often. Also, nice bait 8)

Keep em comin Smiley.

looking east you see the four queens which was a famous canyon boat in the 90's. it was in all the national fishing magazines. i think the guy died some time ago and now it just sits.
the bridge is the atlantic beach bridge which connects the barrier island of long beach to queens.
it is where the scene from the godfather was filmed when sonny got whacked.

not the best pictures but you get the idea.

[parishht]

Narrow channel or not, unless there are major currents through there,
with the amount of boats fishing,
I would slow down to no wake and expect the same in return.

[charlie_the_tuna]

technically parish, you're right but this is one of the reasons that new yorkers go into culture shock when we go to another state or country.
people in other places say hello and we wonder why.
when trying to merge with traffic in another state people dont speed up, and actually let you in and we get pissed off.
it throws off our groove and we get flustered.
we are a state (downstate) of type A personalities and we dont like it when others are friendly or courteous.

[tsubaki]

Great shots, thought I was going to starve to death because of lack of pictures from you.
You've redeemed yourself. ;D ;D
Dad useing an Ambassador ? can't tell

[C YENSEN]

GREAT SHOTS CTT....

Can you get a better shot of those seats in the stern for me. I also have the I/O box and have wanted to put seats back there, but never found anything I like.

thanks ;D

[Skools_Dual]

hey in that last shot you got another Wellcraft that's a 248 or 250 Wellcraft maybe could be a older 280

[THEFERMANATOR]

hey in that last shot you got another Wellcraft that's a 248 *or *250 Wellcraft maybe could be a older 280
I'd say it is a 250 sportsman. It's got a single outboard on it with the long cabin area, plus it's got the stripe down the side that you normally see on the later models.

[charlie_the_tuna]

nope and nope.
its a 230.
out there all the time.

[charlie_the_tuna]

and yes, bukkake, pops is using an ambassador.
he swears by that reel.
got about 30 yards of mono on it.
claims he dont fish no deep water so he dont need no more.

[tsubaki]

Best reel is its class!!

[randlemanboater2]

CTT, you got it wrong on that fluke pic, you are supposed to stand in front of the camera and extend your arm TOWARD the camera.

Great pics.....that V-20 sure is a perty thing on the fly.

How much did you sweat reelin' that one in?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
