HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

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.

Pickled Herring by Cary	Servings:
Estimated cooking time:	Posted By: SeaLion

1 Pound Fresh Herring; scaled, filleted, skin on/off
(Approximately 8 - 10 Herring per Jar)
Salt Brine
1 teaspoon Mixed Pickling Spice
1 Bay Leaf
pinch of Dill
dash of Black Pepper
medium Onion, thinly sliced
few small pieces of Carrot, thinly sliced
fresh Garlic slices/chunks
1/3 cup Sugar
1-1/2 cups White Vinegar
1 quart Mason Jar

To make the salt brine, mix enough salt in a bowl of water to make a salty solution to float a raw egg (or until good & salty).
Cut fish into 1-inch pieces & place in salt brine, cover & refrigerate for 1 day.
Discard salt brine & wash herring well in cold water. Dry the Herring with paper towels.
In a saucepan, bring vinegar to a boil adding pickling spice, dill, pepper, sugar & bay leaf. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat & cool.
In a one quart jar put herring, onion, carrot & garlic. Fill to top with cooled pickling solution. Keep tightly closed jar in refrigerator 3 to 4 days until ready to serve.

I like to mix drained pickled herring & onions with sour cream & serve on a toasted english muffin or saltine crackers. Or you can just eat it straight from the jar. Yum...

Enjoy

There's a few spots on the Island you can catch these Herring Magnolia Pier is one hot place to visit here's a link to that place http://www.striperonline.com/magnolia_pier.htm

Tides and timing is everything so you may want to check with a tide chart before you head down and check the reports on www.Noreast.com or other publications for up to date reports. This week with the Full moon and High tides should be a great time to catch a few for your self.

Best Fishes!!!

IN THE FIELD

Bass Fishing Ends Quietly

By Michael Wright

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.
The herring run that was supposed to bring a grand finale to the fishing season, as it has done in most recent years, apparently just ain’t going to happen this time around. The herring came, but either in too few numbers or too late to attract big numbers of striped bass to our waters.
Now if you are a completely hopeless optimist or just don’t have anything at all to be doing with your time, there are most certainly still a few striped bass to be caught out there, both on the beach or in the boat. There are some herring in Montauk. The few boats that put in enough time to catch a live well full of them and then had the patience to bounce from rip to rip in search of life caught some decent stripers over the weekend but had long lulls between bites. No one had more than a few fish.
Presumably, those herring will have to move on at some point and the few straggling stripers that there are will probably follow them. If you are ultra-vigilant and are in the right place at the right time, there may yet be some fish in the surf to be caught. Whether that will happen before the close of the season remains to be seen. Or the fish may just head offshore amid this week’s stormy forecast and it may not happen at all. But, hey, keep looking.
So East End outdoorsmen are left with two options: Go hunting or go black fishing. The weather forecast this week, at least, seems to favor trips to the duck blind over the blackfish grounds.
If you’re not a gunner, there are still lots of blackfish and their cohorts to be had. The reefs and wrecks off Montauk, Shinnecock and Moriches are holding a good number of ’togs, sea bass, bergalls (or cunners), big porgies and some codfish, and they all seem to be plenty hungry. Pete Haskell weighed in a 27-pound cod caught on a wreck in 175 feet of water off Shinnecock last week, and the Montauk charter captains put lots of nice togs on ice this week.
If you are shore bound and itching for something to pull on, there are some herring at Gann Road in East Hampton and a few in the Shinnecock Canal, both of which should get better in the coming weeks. The Montauk party boats are switching over to cod fishing in the next week and hoping for some better fish. Otherwise, it seems like there are plenty of geese in town, if you have a pit to hunt them from. Some more ducks will no doubt be moving into the area with this big storm coming out of the Midwest and the Great Lakes settling into the depths of winter. Check out The New York Times’ story from Monday about the effects of global warming on duck hunting in the Midwest—there’s some good pictures.
Catch ’em up, if you can. See you out there.

Catching In a Winter Wonderland

20,025 205,527

BASS bells ring, are you listening,
On the Ocean, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Catching in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluefish,
Here to stay is a Bass Fish
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Catching in a winter wonderland.

On the Boat we can build a snowman,
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.

Later on, we'll conspire,
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.

Pablo 35 Bass 1 Keeper 32"

Chris Nappi 28 Bass 1 Keeper 30"

Dean Locke 18 Bass 1 Keeper 31"

Tim Ashton 15 BASS NO KEEPERS???

Things Couldn't have been better today!

Light Winds, Temp COLD 25 Degrees!

Snowing on our way out LOL!!!

Water Temp Bay 39 then way back 46

Ocean was 47

Lucky for us I did a recon Trip Yesterday

And saw Mega Birds working just east of Smiths Point

Cause today that exactly where they were.

I tried to let as many people know as I could

But as usual we were the 1st boat down there 6:30 AM

and Had a Ball Catching 96 BASS!!!

We were Sliding around the deck and all

Catching Fish and Having a ball

Good thing we had that Heater!!!

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!!!

We had triple Hook ups but could not do the Quadruple Hook up LOL!!!

The Best Day so far of 2007

oh the reason the Yellow was working was the Bass were on Pea-Nut Bunker as seen in the picture below

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

13 Fishing Days left

and the Best is yet to come

Last licks for striper season

By Michael Wright

I’m typically the most optimistic person on the beach about the chances for fishing to have a final chapter with the pending arrival of the herring—the engines of late-season bass fishing. But even I am starting to get worried about our chances this year.
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.

Snow? What snow? Chris Nappi, Dean Locke and Tim Ashton braved Sunday’s snow storm to hit Moriches Inlet aboard the Mama Mia and brought home some nice (cold) stripers for their efforts. CAPTAIN PAUL PELUSO

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.

See Kats Video in the Video Section

Last pic Mama Lost her hat when she was reeling in a fish we missed it with the net and it sank. BOO-HOO!!!

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

KAT-taker in the Breaker

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 predictablity 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 everytime....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 lil 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 !!!!

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?

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???

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

Kat Scratch Fever

Nov 8 2007

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.

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. Winds really picked up by 8:30 Am 20 mph and decided to call it a day by 9 AM. Gave my fish to my Cousin Dan. Autopsy showed 3 half digested eels.

Here's Pablo's Bass dinner Kat made for me the other night YUM YUM!!!

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. Oh man it was a nice one I'd say 30 to 32". So we move up again this time Laura's On!!! ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz ok lets get this one in! Laura proceeds to fight the fish good and Dean nets it. This was Laura's 1st keeper Bass a nice 29.5" hump back male. We'll you never saw a bigger smile and I caught it all on video.

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

By Michael Wright

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. And I want to know who's been giving away my SPOT'S!!!

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!!!

Fall fishing finally gets rolling

By Michael Wright

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.
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.

Oct 16 2007

I wanted to live dangerously today. So you know what I did? I Used Yellow Uncle Josh on my 1.25 oz Blue frog Buck Tail instead of Red. I was a little nervous at 1st people might think I'm being such a rebel and all. But I threw caution up to the wind and went for it.

We'll I couldn't be more surprised to HOOK 20 something BASS this morning and 4 HUGE BLUES in the Ocean today. This all happened between 6:30 AM and 9 AM. I also ran with scissors and had a Black Kat cross my path. I'm such a Rebel!!! Also Had this Deer lick my hand???

Pablo and the Jets

Even though the Pablonians wore the Home team Colors we both came up empty handed. The Jets lost but at least we got a nice sunset and some quality family time. We tried HARD!!! Only Dean came up with a 25" Bass on his own boat. Oh well you can't always be like yesterday.<
