All Activity

I was fully booked every season I wanted to be because I pounded fish . and we didn’t just target any striped bass , we targeted the biggest fish we could find . and 8/10 times those giant bass come on a top water , not a live bait . me taking advice from you would be like taking real estate advice from a homeless guy . .

So let’s fish Oceanside , not in the hatchery . 10 fish and total weight of the 10 fish is the prize amount

Well first person to ten fish is the winner, my baits won’t go bad before I get 10 fish whooping your ass!

Just because your a “charter” don’t mean you’re good I’ve seen plenty of captains that are lazy and not fisherman, not saying that’s you but just because have a “charter” doesn’t mean your any better then the guy next to you that’s not

Better tell that to Nomad who crushed them on plugs.. yes when they get finicky it can be a challenge. But I've seen even the slightest change turn that around. Even somthing as silly as taking the split ring off of an sp minnow

I know at least in my neck of the woods the turkey population is down by a lot

That's the key and the difference in this argument, when they crushing the bunker any imitation will work but when they are finicky like right now live bunker is the ticket. Trolling always works no matter what, yesterday I watched people casting their balls off including myself on great marks with not much luck so I laid out the Mojos and caught some fish

Nice job . Congrats

Having bunker in the well is great for a short while . once the slime coat wears and they show red distress bass will push past them looking for fresh bunker . Dead bunker allowed to glaze over will out fish those stressed baits . and a freshly snagged bait , rehooked will also out fish those well baits also cold water and a good pump only go so far , warm water and those baits become worthless quick .

What a Difference 30 Miles makes as far as Turkey Population. I think the North Jersey Population has gone up some. However,I Went 0 for 8 in the North Jersey Hills so far. May 1st and 2nd in my home State of NY- What a difference!!! I have been surrounded on both Mornings by upwards of 6+ Gobblers. The Hen Population is Tremendous as well. So far,I have called up 2 Toms to 50 yards and they stayed right behind low Bushes- never showing their face. Same thing today-- 2 More-- same deal-- behind the low Bushes at 50 yards. Having a Ball out there-- but,I am now 0 for 10 days. Back at it tomorrow of course. Cynthia after 4 Springs with me is determined to do it all by herself in another NY area. She saw 3 Big Toms all together that would not come in. She will be back out there tomorrow after them. She is up to 5 Gobblers in 4 Springs . Tomorrow, I have a 4am walkin of 1 Mile and we play again. I have my B + C week tags also for NJ. Definitely be back down here in NJ Soon. Good Luck out thereY'ALL!!

Just curious , how many charters did YOU have someone pay you to fish ? How many fish did those clients catch under your direction ? How many days a season do you actually fish ?

Ok let me roll up to a pod of fish with bunker now and he goes with his fancy metal lips and heavy shads I bet you who would do better

Are you switching colors changing rate of retrieve etc. Ever hear the saying match the hatch. It apples to salt water to mimmck the bait they are on and you will catch

You make me laugh but keep doing what works for you

I had them in the middle of Newark at my rental afew years ago.

Congratulations on a great bird

You said snagged bunker give it a shot netting bait and live line with no weight it will get smoked, if I’m not live lining I’m throwing metal lips shade poppers etc I give them a chance

Congratulations on a great bird

Nice Tom , congrats

way to go

Having a one year old has certainly limited the hunting time this spring but was able to slip out this morning and knock one down. Knew there was a good one in this area but I could not locate him while roosting last night. Turns out he was only 75 yards from where they normally roost but he was tight lipped. We got out early and hoped we could strike him early enough to get all the camera gear dialed in. Well we found him off the field down in the swamp and got everything setup perfect. But as the old ones like to do he had his mind made up he wasn’t coming any closer. After about an hour of back and forth we decided to leave all the gear and decoys and close the distance deeper into the swamp. We setup right next to some standing water and gobbled at him and he sounded off close. This time I saw him just passed an huge old blow down that was keeping him from getting to us as there was water on either side and that was why he was going back and forth. The old 870 barked and another one in the truck. And of course he flopped into the water and looks like a drown rat. Didn’t get any footage today but glad to be on the board. Best of luck everyone. 10” beard 1 1/4 spurs 22.5lbs
