Winds out of the west to, they bite the best when the winds out of the west! Wish I could fish to Clint but been hard at the home improvements since 7am. Gonna be done by noonish to watch the us open and some nascar, it is fathers day weekend after all. Happy Fathers day to all the dads.

Got out this afternoon on oneida, lake was flat and the bite stunk! Marked most of the fish off lewis point and made 3 long trolls from bouy 115 towards the lighthouse. Got two small bites and never set the hook after 3 hours gave up. Hate fishing mid afternoon but this year Ill take it when I can get it.

At least you out out John.  Between the wind the rain and not having a partner I have been home the past 2 weekends.   I may have something planned for this weekend though

Sweet HT.   I have not went out in a few weeks.   We are starting to cut hay too so time may get tight. Hopefully one day this weekend.   Weather was VERY NICE today.  Back in the hot box by the end of the weekend into he 90's

HT-In no time he'll be giving us the "clinic" on the SR.

Well getting ready to pack up the car and hit the road to spend a week in Narragansett, RI.  The only fishing gear I'm taking is my Lami 8wt and a bunch of saltwater streamers.  Hope to nail a striper or two in the suds at Narragansett Pier town beach and Point Judith Refuge near the light house.  Later......

Go get 'em boys . Back to work for myself. May take a trip out back to carp land later.
Have fun and good luck :) pics too :)

Well here is the update some good, some bad. some ugly.   Got to the launch and the boat started died and then would not fire.   Luckily 2 shots of starting fluid got it running good (**** ethanol).   Since it was nice decided to venture out and look for a few things.   Went right out to bouey 115 looking for Bilnd isle but could not find it,  so we went down to 113 and fished Messanger shoals for a bit.   Kind of going slow if we marked fish we would stop and jig for a few.  My buddy missed one hit.  Got to Messangers fished around there for a while my buddy got 3 bass and one was pretty good size.   Went into the north shore and fished what I guess was Eaton shoals on a very low drift.   My buddy got 2 more bass 2 large perch and 4 slab gills.   I picked up some slab gills and a big white perch along with some dink perch for the both of us.   The Sunfish had to weight a lb a piece.       Now the ugly.  Right after we got he boat trailered  I started feeling bad, by the time we got to Burger king I was ready to heave and had to run in for the seated death.    Got home and BARELY made it in the house for round 2.   I slept  all day on and off and just got the boat in the garage.
 
So I was going to go to Henderson Harbor today for some perch, but that was OUT OF THE QUESTION.

Finally got my camera off the boat these are from friday, Ive seen a million sunrises and have loved everyone.




clint this is one of the hot colors right mow.

managed a limit

major alge bloom going on

got out this morning in the rain, ran out to the pancakes and had a limit in under an hour. Same color as in the photo above and home by 730. Wallys for diner tonight!

A nice week in Narragansett, RI.  Hazy, hot and humid with t-storms later in the week but it was great to get away. 
Booked a charter on the Sakarak and Capt. Mitch Chagnon on Tuesday and took a mix of stripers, blues and fluke.  Boated a half dozen stripers, a dozen blues trolling umbrella rigs near the south west corner of Block Island.  Nothing big but managed to put four stripers in the box along with a couple blues.  Later that morning we fished inshore for fluke near New Harbor.  The pick was steady but once again nothing big.  We boated about three dozen fluke and kept many under the Captain's commercial license.  I kept six for the dinner table (they are already gone).   

An assortment of blues and stripers before they went under the knife.

Today I got to fish with a good buddy John and his son John so there were 3 Johns and we kicked the snot out of the eyes. Johnny fought everyone except a few I brought in and a few his dad did. Probably boated 30 and kept are limit of 9 which I sent home with them for their family diner tonight, johnny was pretty excited about eating a fish that he cought.

still the hottest color.

small eye and some nasty alge, the bite is always best when the alge is the worst.
