We got to Shelter Island Ramp about 7:30 am and headed out to the jetty, lots of boats on the water already so I had to have my head on a swivel
not a bad putt out there with a bit of overcast sky but still comfortable
Max was the first on the board with what at first glance I thought was a sculpin as he reeled it in, no dice on the sculpin but he was still happy
I was next with a small calico
Myles couldn't catch crabs in Mexico if he tried
He was getting discouraged and backlashed a few times too
Oh well, gotta keep trying
::)We hung out till the tide peaked just after 10am and only had 2 fish so we made a move to just inside the inlet and we scratched a few spotties
Things got slow and quiet, I turned around and saw this
Made another move to where Myles hooked into something last trip and things picked up instantly
The spotty bite was on in about 10-12 foot of water, the fish finder and trolling motor got a workout on this spot
Most of the fish were larger models and full of piss and vinegar, very fun
Only a few dinks in the mix, then Myles gets his first Hali
19'' and made his day !
The day turned out to be pretty good, 50 fish on the boat and we left them biting
Made it back to the dock and I let these two drive the boat onto the trailer and we headed home
Forgot to use sunscreen, I will pay in the next few days, I know better
Hope to get back out soon
