Russel , good to see you at the dock . Sorry I didn't bring the reels . I think the T-
rex is overkill for what you are using it for . Dee has the Avet 30 and it's a winch . Keep in mind that If it's a big Mako you should use the boat to follow it so Line capacity isn't that much of an issue . As far as killing a Mako dragging the fish works or a brain stab when the fish is subdued . Makos are the Bad Boys of the Oceans and no two are the same . No bangsticks or Shotguns allowed in Tournament Play . I'll be back down at the dock again Sunday and bring my stuff for you to pull on . Cav. , I'll let you all know when I find out if we are changing gears to Bottom fishing as soon as I find out .I hope that we are not because there are still fish there .

yea I thought that reel would only be good for a chair or fighting out of a rod holder.So far sunday looks good for me wheather permitting.I want to check out the avet 40 before I purchase another reel,but more then likely I'll go with the avet 30 wide pro

Cav and Russell , I just talked To Capt.Bob and he said that we will be fishing Stripers with the exception of Thursdays and Saturdays when we will be fishing Seabass Offshore until they leave or the customers stop coming .

nice I think he'll get a couple of more weeks in.I heard there doing pretty good on the boats south of barnaget inlet and them being that far north looks pretty good.I was going to go tomorrow since I have off but I'll wait till sunday,plus I have to try and fill my winter bow tag my freezer is empty.hopefully on sunday I can have a nice venison and striper dinner.If I can only catch one thats not 27 inchs.That is my lucky number this year.

Russell , Kill um and Grill um . I'll see you at the dock Sunday .

Hey pedro happy holidays how are they making out on the bottom fishing trips

the Seabass fishing has been good . Bob is taking her out for another trip tonight to fish Thursday . I didn't get the "call" again so I guess I'll sit in port and go to my regular job . I dumped seven totes of racks from last Saturdays trip when we cleared the one mile marker Sunday . I don't think that they will go Saturday due to weather Offshore . Are you going to try and go on one ?

It looks likes some rain for sunday hopefully it moves up to sat.No deer in sight today so hopefully some fish sunday.I never grabed a flyer on the sea bass trip,I'll grab one this weekend.

sunday looks good again.any word on recent striper trips since last sunday?

About the same as when we went . Bob said that there are still plenty of fish around .

just have to find the right group of fish.pretty soon we'll be catching north bound stripers if stays this warm.I'm sure bob wouldn't mind steady striper fishing till summer.Could be tuna fishing in april.

I'll be there tomorrow for sure the only thing that will stop me is the alarm clock..Did alittle fresh water today caught a nice large mouth bass and the kids did pretty good with the sunny's.Never did that in january before there usally frozen solid this time of year

thanks for bringing the avet down today,the 2 speed is the way to go.I can't wait to get one.That wraps up my striper season,I'm done till the spring run.I threw in the towel.I brought back the tsunami and exchange it for a tica with no questions asked,you can't beat that for the pole being over a year old.I want to check out one of bob's sea bass trips before they end or it gets to cold to think.Do you know of any good places to purchase charts with wreck locations on it?

Hey Boys, I came down with an ear infection the first week in Jan. Wow That hurt..Could'nt do anything but moan. Lost a lot of work and never fished again since Dec.30.. I finally got my boat out of the Marina @ Barnegat Light and brought it home. Just wanted to say hello.

Dude , haven't been out in three weeks . The weather/funeral/catching a cold has kept me on shore . I'll shape up again Sunday hopefully we will have enough to go .
