Took my wife in the evening. Picked up 1 doz. BB at better bait and tackle. In the water at 730 pm. Went to the condos/spence island tring to market fish with none found. Gave up and went to the towers and imediately saw people catching fish. The bite was pretty steady until we left about 930. We caught 9 shorties and kept 4. All fish were about 40ft. My wife had fun and we have dinner to show for our 6 dollars for bait and 3 dollars to launch. Not a bad night and the sunset was really a cool sight.
Not bad when you catch 9 fish on a dozen baits.
I was out there too. Had a rare afternoon off, so I went straight to the towers, which is about the only place I seem to be able to catch a fish in the middle of the afternoon. Biggest was 26", and another 23", but most all were short. Fished anywhere from 40’ 55’
Took a break, picked up a friend and went back out in the evening and caught some fish in the river channel straight out from Providence Pt. Picked up a 21", 22" and some shorts. It didn’t last long but was some good action right at dusk. When we were getting them it looked like this:
But, once it turned totally dark they scattered and we went in. Think I may pull out the DR’s and troll next time out.

Yeah, guess what? My wife wanted to go back tonight. I recon she had a better time than I thought. The fish we caught were all 18". I saw a skiff when we pulled up to the towers about about 745pm. I think a girl in the back caught a fish. They left soon after that. There’s always a pontoon with some asian people hawling the fish in. I’m looking to get to bed early tonight and possibly go to the coast tomorrow so no small stripers for me tonight.

Yep, that was me next to the asians in the pontoon. I seem to recall you pulling up now. There was quite a few boats around at the time. Made a stop there when we went back out you saw me when I headed out to drift in the open water.
The keepers I got over there were in the middle of the afternoon. Good luck at the coast.

Dam, seems like the fish turned on right when my motor went. I hope to get that taken care of this weekend.
I think the fish turn on about 8:00pm every day at the towers. What happened to your motor? Ya think someone will get to it by this weekend? Most places are full out 2 weeks.

The motor is shot. The rpm’s ran up real high when the prop spun and blew out two cylinders. I’m selling it to someone that needs all the electrical stuff and buying a used on. His rectifier caught on fire and burnt up all his electrical parts. Good reminder that you need to switch out the rectifier every few years.
hwy magnawake; looks like i will be taking care of the poor old yankee boy until we get his other motor going. then again; it will be nice to take the sea pro out and show him how it is done. LOL. to be honest about it i hope that we do get to fish a couple of times in the next two weeks. maybe even this weekend. everything is ready to go.
