Normally don't have a lot to post, as I'm still learning...
Launched with EntropyFletch off of north Shelter Island around 6am. Made a loop out towards the bait barge, around ballast point, and back along north island. Pretty much everywhere we hit, fish were biting hard. When it stopped we moved. Started off on a three inch halloween swimbait and 1/4 oz lead head on 10lb. Never changed from it. between two of us we landed about 60 bass, mostly spotties, with some calico and a couple sandies mixed in. Went through a lot of chewed up baits.
Across the channel spotties were firing in 7-9 feet of water right on either side of slack tide at about 10am. Had multiple back-to-back, back-to-back-back hookups.
Made a couple of drifts with bait and also picked up a legal butt along the way.
One of the more fun days of bay fishing. Go get em.
