I did the final trip of the season with Ken Cohen and his son Caleb.

We had a good time on a mid day trip. The weather was perfect and we found some fish. There were a few bunker around the inlet area and we set up with plugs and caught fish.

Here is Caleb with one of our fish for the day.

His dad Ken got in on the action with this fish on a plug.

There are still fish around and some bait but the end is near. Maybe some fish coming down the coast and some jigging action to get in on but I am now switching to hunting mode and also working on boats at Babylon Boat Works. 

Check for hunting reports and  also check out www.babylonboatworks.com for the boat building activity.

I guess you can say it ain't over till its over.

Did a late trip with George and Ray and we caught some nice fish. This one was 41 pounds. 

Bait around and I also heard nice fish to 35 pounds on jigs in the ocean to the east.

Today I fished with Jeff Sussman and his pal Joey (left to right). We did a half day and worked hard for one fish that Jeff caught on a Danny plug.

It seems that most of the big fish moved on and we are now waiting for another body of fish to move in. 

It was a beautiful day and we did catch a fish so it turned out to be fun and a good trip.

Another excellent day on the water.

Today I fished with Rich Nelson pictured here and his good buddy JB Deerin shown below.

We had horrible fishing conditions today. Rain then wind and no bait to be found inside.

We tried plugs today but that didn't work out either so we went to my stash of live bunker and found some fish.

Here is JB with a nice 28 pounds fish taken on a live bunker.

It was a good day regardless of the weather and certainly a memorable one. 

I just love my new Aqua Skins rain gear. It kept me warm and dry and the best part is the bibs have a waterproof zipper.

I fished today with Fred McKibben and his buddy Scott. We had a great day with at least 8 or 10 fish to over 30 pounds on both bait and plugs.

Here is Scott with a nice 30 pound fish and he also caught his first fish on a plug today.

Fred and Scott back at the dock with a couple of nice fish for the table. We left the fish biting and threw back a bunch.

Another excellent day on the water with a great crew. Fred and I go back a long way and it was fun to fish with him again plus he always brings a super lunch.

Here is the crew with a beautiful 38 pound bass taken  on a Gibbs Yellow Danny plug. 

The fish really slammed the plug and fought hard. Scott did a great job of working the fish to the boat under tough wind and tide conditions. 

A great start to our day.

Here is the days catch and it was a good one. On the left is Jason with his 27 pound fish taken on live bait. This was a short but very bulky monster shoulder fish. Tough fighter as well. On the right is Justin with his 30 pound fish also taken on bait. An excellent fish and another great fight with all the wind against tide. And then there is the dad Scott with a beautiful 38 pound fish he caught on a plug. 

We had 6 fish with two on bait and four on plugs and missed a few more.  It was good action and we set some free.

This was a memorable day of fishing under tough conditions.

Another excellent day with a great crew.

I fished today with Rich Nelson Jr, his son James pictured here, and his dad Rich Senior.

We worked hard to catch bass in very tough windy conditions. 

James boated this 20 pound bass and what was amazing was the fish had a rock the size of  my fish in his gut. James is holding it in his left hand.

I have heard stories about bass eating rocks to give them stability in stormy weather or accidentally eating one when rooting for crabs in the sand. This is the first time I have personally seen it in thousands of bass that I have caught. I guess this was a true "Rockfish". 

An interesting day on the water.

I fished today with a great crew. From left to right Amy, Linus, Tom, Marty and Nina.

We had some fast and furious action with huge bluefish on the bunker pods in the inlet. 

Everyone took a turn on the rod and we kept a couple of fish for the table. When I keep blues to eat I immediately bleed them and get them on ice. A lot of people don't like to eat bluefish but that is because they don't handle them right after they are caught and/or are not such good cooks.

They are excellent eating and this crew will have some fun with that.

It was a beautiful day on the water with a great family. Another day on the water worth remembering.
