  • Big Fat Skunk 3/25/09

    Launched at Sea Isle a little after 7 (after having to back the truck halfway into the water to get the boat off, won't be visiting that ramp again anytime soon). Tried at Snake Island first, but we only gave it 30 minutes due to lack of bait. Then we ran west to some flats around the water tower. Saw lots of bait. but not one fish. I threw mostly topwaters, but tried the trusty old pumpkin BA without a bite. My dad threw different colors of BAs with the same luck. Moved west another mile or so and found tons of bait. A pelican would swoop low over the water and the water would start boiling in places from all the bait. But still there were no fish, or at least they weren't feeding. I went the whole trip without a single blowup and only lost one tail off a BA. Saw 3 or 4 porpoises while we were wading in water 2 foot or so deep. I've never seen them that shallow. We called it a day at noon. Wind was 5-10 early and incresed to 10-15 mid-morning. No rain at all and for the most part it was a beautful day. Water was green to sandy-green. Just one of those days that leaves you scratching your head. But the boat ran good (first time it ran in almost 3 months ) so no complaints.

    GOD BLESS AND GIG'EM!

    I hope I catch a 10 lb trout before I catch a flesh eating bacteria.

      No. We took a little boat ride to the start of the markers that channel through but then turned around. Are those markers still good post-Ike?

                Thanks for the report. I almost headed out this afternoon, but decided on bass fishing instead with the winds howling.

                      Trying beats not. Dang good try-try the Jamaica Ramp next time or Terramar. The Sea Isle "public" ramp sux and needs a dig out and the residents' ramp usually is chained.
                      thanks for the report. (BTW-watch out for Barney Fife at JB-he'll ticket ya for going over putt speed in the canals {streets too!!!} even if he's just in his vehicle).
                      "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

                          Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I will probably go to Jamaica next time if I launch at the island again. I'm getting burned out on West Bay though. I just wish the Dike was operable
