08-01-07 Short trip

[Sean]

Every one ended up working late today so we only had about 2 hours to fish. Wind was about 5-10 out of the ENE. They were suppossed to be out of the SSE, so once we were out @ the spot we wanted to fish every thing was wrong. Tide was gowing west, and the wind was blowing east, so we ere sitting still ::) Unless you are out to catch skates, this is not good. *So theres a reef we fish in the fall thats literly a 1/4 mile out from were my boat is, and it has a decent slope from 20ft on the reef, to about 60 feet to the shore, yup it gets deeper the closer you get to the rocks.
Long story short, it paid off. *;D

Here is a photo from the were we wear fishing. Right next to the mansion is the entry way into my cove.


My Crew, the main picture is the "Gee" or Terps, behind him with the cowboy hat is "Worse mate" and I'm the "Captian" *;) ;D



Sun Setting before we head in..


FLuke to about 5lbs with a decent sea bass throwen in ;D

[parishht]

Nice catch.

Is that mansion new or old?

[Sean]

Old, most of them were built in the late 1800's. Newport is full of them, some incredable architecture and lands scapes. I'm very lucky to live in such as senic place ;D and this fishings good to ;)

Stripers bite at night too. ;)

Nice pics Sean

[Sean]

Thanks chum!
stripers, what are stripers *;D Ya, giving the stripers a litle rest, we have been slaughtering them since May. *;D *I'm still doing a litle striper fishing but for the next month or so I want to focus on other species. *To many of my friends focus all on stripers, even I was dead set on stripers. Now I want everything *;D The biggest Fluke, Scup, Sea Bass, Black Fish and even Choggie *;D
I like to consider my self well rounded ;D ;D

Sean,

The other day my son's buddy called me and he wanted me to take him fishing, I was thrilled. My son is stationed in England in the Air Force and I miss him dearly, we use to fish all the time together. So I did the next best thing and took his buddy fishing at Point Judith. That young man was so happy you couldn't wipe that grin off his face with a 2x4! Between him and I, we took home 3 keepers and must have thrown back 25 total, but we still had a blast. He caught the biggest one that measured 22".

[Sean]

NICE!! ;D ;D I'm glad you got out and on to some fish. Fluke are a BLAST, specially the 1st 10 or so feet pulling them off the bottom, tuff litle buggers ;) ;D.
I bet your son is going to be real home sick when his buddy calls him and let him know of the extravagansa ;D
You getting out this weekend?
