06/24 Short Sunday

Sean · #1 06-26-2007, 09:26 AM

Weather forecast was for the winds to be West @ 11knots @ 4am Sunday morning and switch hard out of the SW by 9am :o. So the trip was planned accordingly, find a spot that we can hide from the west wind and tell the wives we will be home by 10am (that was a mistake :-/).
Woke up around 03dark thirty, and not a breeze in the air. By the time we were @ the ramp it was blowing out of the west, but not as bad as forecasted. *
Anchored up @ a little reef off of Jamestown RI and it was like we were sitting on a mirror, absolutely beautiful. *Schools of poggies are starting to flush out of the bay and they were breaking all around us with schools of snapper blues and bass smacking them around.
Landed 1 nice bass for the grill with in the 1st ½ hour and then everything went silent. If we did not have the families waiting on the front stoops to go to the beach @ 10, we could have moved around but we decided to keep every one happy and head in after catching a few blue fish for the lobster pots.

Boy them bass love bunker *;D

Beach ended up being perfect until around 1:30 - me and my girls:

Side note, I have caught more bass over 30lbs behind that rock then any were else. (ssshhh don't tell any one ;))

Way to go Sean! Nice striper. You did the right thing by keeping Mama and the kids happy. Everytime I go to PJ fishing I make sure to stop at Custy's fish shack there by the entrance of the Block Island Ferry parking lot. My wife loves steamers and I always pick her up a few pounds of nice fresh clams. She always tells me,"honey you don't have to do that" but the way I figure it's better to make her happy, that way the next time I want to go she almost never objects!

I remember when my two girls were small like yours. Now they are teenagers and wouldn't be caught dead with me on the beach! LOL They do grow so fast and you will never regret spending this time with them. Looks like you all had a fun day, congrats.
