Launched the yak out of Shelter Island at around 0900. I hadn't been out feeshin off the plastic in over a month (hoopin don't counthttp://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/hali_nuija.gif).
Target today was to try and get me a keeper flattie since my team & I were skunked on them last Sat. in the tourney http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif.
Proceeded over to one of my "go-to" spots and started drifting and casting. Spotties were hungry so I played with them for awhile.
I was working the bottom using a jerk bait on a dropper loop on one rod while casting swim baits and Gulps on my light gear set up.
Casted out a chartruese leadhead with a GULP! swimming mullet and started reeling in when WHAM! Knew it was the flat kind and eased it up on the 8#. Had the net in hand and on my lap he went for a quick spike to the head http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/hali_ruahahaha.gif .
Drifted some other spots for more fish including a couple checkers, lizard feesh, and more spotties. Called it a day around 1:00.
Very relaxing morning on the water. Nice and warm, tide was moving good, and the water was flat.
Counts:
12+ Spotted bay bass - C&R
2 Calico bass - C&R
a few leezard feesh - C&R
1 tasty halibut that is about to go on the grill
Peace,
Spyder
