addicted2sp33d,

i used to rent those same skiffs from MCRD often, with a Navy buddy of mine around 10-15 yrs ago, before i got into yakking. brings back many good memories.

i was also thinking about going to SDB yesterday as well (in my yak), but saw the wind reports & decided to stay home & watch NBA playoffs.

and yes, the lizard fish are taking over SDB around the Shelter Island, Bali Hai restaurant areas, etc.

MANY of them are everywhere, and some very BIG ones, as u said you caught on this day. my last few outings there, i have caught many dozens total, and also caught some 15-18 inch monsters, that were bigger than any i had ever caught in prior 2 decades, fishing SDB in skiffs & yaks.

wasting time with these trash fish, & having them steal live bait, or ruin plastics, just minimizes the total REAL fish you can catch during an outing in SDB.

Yeah - after I found out what it-was and what we could do with it, I was kicking myself for not gaffing it, or at least putting a tail rope on him while we Googled him on my phone. We would have had amazing meals to go with the amazing fish story.

Next time.
