Fairhaven Buckboardjr 23-30Aug

[buckboardjr]

23Aug.  9 for 10 with Nephew Chas. Ran straight out to 550ft as so many have complained of a late start    to staging kings.  We boxed 4 teens and 2 Steel. We did have a double on divers equipped with Green dot Pro Echip/ Atomik Ultra Green glow on one side and NBK pro echip/Ultra Green glow on the other. Bullfrog pro echip and Atomik Ultra green glow on a rigger produced a teen and so did an green dot SD with Big weinies  Ronns Morning wood in tow. Chas also landed a double on one rod and we let 2 Steels go. Stingray size Orange Tux Stinger on a free slide as well as Finger Lakes tackle Chicken feed scored Steel. I had my 1^st Chummer aboard the Buckboardjr. When he decided to Hurl I thought it was a fake one, it was so loud. Being down wind convinced me of it’s authenticity!

 

24Aug  4 for 6 Solo.  Went deep again. It was a hot one. I threw everything at them. Boxxed a 19lb  Mature on the buufrog/fly, 8lb Steel on the FL Chickenfeed, and a teen on the Bullfrog/fly. Released one Steel from a 400 copper with a FL bullfrog spoon

25Aug  5 for 7 Solo. Decided to start in 250FOW and work out. I started marking fish down 150 so I dropped one rigger down there. It went off with what seemed like no one there but I had a slider on it. I reeled like a bastard and then bam she took off. Got a nice teen king on a Sea sick waddler mag spoon.  Set back up and that rod starts throbbing again in 400FOW. The Sea Sick waddler in free sliding cheater mode produces a nice football shaped Brown. I let him go and re set as I am noticing the temp coming up. The Dreen dot SD/Rons morning wood fires in 450 and I take another Teen king. By the time I set back up the temp comes up to 35 ft down  For the next 2 hrs I work out to get the temp down futher. With the Bullfrog parked at 35 ft down in 50* and 634FOW It takes off screaming. Once on the rod I hold the mic up to the Sceaming reel and say “Hear that fellasâ€!  a little later a 22 lber hits the deck. I keep trolling out and temp finally gets down 55ft in 694FOW  and the Green dot SD/ Rons Morning wood fires and I land a aprox 18lber and release. Then in 700FOW  a dandy Steel  hits the Orange TUX slider and dances 3 time before spitting it at me.

 

26Aug 6 for 9 with camping neighbor and new friend Allen. Went to boat launch at 5am and Bro Inlaw was a No show no call . I ran back to camp and grabbed the neighbor who had been drooling over the previous days fish and so much wanted to go. We headed out and didn’t set up in 650FOW till 9:30. Port Diver takes off set at 170 and comes off after a short battle.  Then it goes off again. Allen lands his 1^st teen. Then  the center rigger goes off on the free sliding FL Chicken feed and gets off. I configure the Starboard Dipsey with a Pro Echip/Atomik fly and both Divers go off. Allen nets mine while he puts his in the rod holder which his fish is still on after my netting but later comes off. Next comes a nice 10lb Steel on the Orange Tux.  Now Temp again came up to 45ft down.  Now the port rigger rod trips and Allen is on it.  No one appears home and I yell “Reel, Reel fast†Then it takes off. A monster hit the free sliding Orange Tux Stinger spoon somewhere between 0 and 45ft down over 690FOW at high noon.. Check out the tail end of the “Scream†on the vid.  It weighed 32.5 on the boat but we took it to Screwy Louies and it was 29 10 oz after 5 hrs in cooler. NO NOT IN DERBY! It would have been 3^rd at that time. Next missed another on Chicken feed. Then I took a steel on SD/ Beotch fly. Then another Steel  on Orange Tux released. Here's a vid of the ride in after an awesome day out deep:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zLJfgcBrSw  Scream vid:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzsg6bLgZmw

 

27Aug. 7 for 9 with Bazooka Joe  Started in 550FOW and as I let the Bullfrog/UltraGlow Fly down it reased as if I thumbed it to hard. I said to myself, “Self, You didn’t thumb that HARD AT ALL†Then off to the races, Screamer.  In a bit a nice mature 15lber hits the deck. Next Joe takes a teen on a small sea sick waddler on a slider. Then the 180 diver goes off Green dor Pro e/ ultra grnglow teen hits the deck . Then I pop a laker off the diver. Then Joe lands a teen on a wht/grn SD/fly 70ft dwn over 710FOW. Tne a 5  an 11lb Steel on the Orange TUX. Then missed one on the Bullfrog rigger and on the 130 diver.

 

28Aug. Snotty Seas I cooked a big Breakfast then a Feast on a wood fire of  Lemon Garlic marinated Ribs, Yellow and Zuc squash from my garden, Corn on the cob in the husk. All good

 

29Aug 5 for 7 with Bazooka Joe. Started in 250 and worked out as temp came up but we thought it would go down. Finally in 650 FOW cheater go and Joe lands a nice 13lb steel and right after I get an 8 lber. We end up trolling 18.4 mile away from Fairhaven in search of Down temp. We were 6 miles from the water border and 24 miles from Canda land. 2 skippys and another steel released.

 

30Aug. 3 for 4 with AJ from work. We go out right in front in  125FOW and people are hooking up all around us. The wind is ripping our faces off and every 3^rd wave is splashing over the bow. I feed it to them for 4 hrs without a hit while watching everyone hooking up. I was stunned. Then finally went 3 for 4 all matures but on the small side.. This last day beat the fishing out of me and I pulled the plug early on my trip.  All and all was a great trip.
