"Jumbo Bass & Blues to Go"
Marlin VI - Montauk
May 31, 2001
7AM
on Eddy's boat means only one thing...time to jig up a cow! Right
off the bat the birds were going crazy as the bluefish tore up
the waters off the front of the Lighthouse.
Rules
of the Game.
The blues tear the baitfish to ribbons on top of the water. The
bait leftover drops to the bottom. Big fat bass on bottom get
free meal and need to go on weight loss program!
Reel
your jig in fast and get a bluefish. But if you let it hit bottom,
then reel 8 times and let it fall...reel 8 times and repeat...hold
on tight...this is the Carmine Rule to catch a nice, fat bass.
Big bass over 30 pounds came over the rail.
The
winds were blowing from the depths of hell and guys... it was
cold! 48 degrees in the morning on the last day of May! I had
a sweater on and my skins, but I forgot my mittens! Someone tell
me where the heck is summer? You know...shorts, T-shirts, ice
cold beer, light breeze...not happening this day! The bass must
have thought it was October...I kid you not!
Eddy
stuck with the bass and bluefish for the majority of the full
day trip. The fluke off of Hither Hills had lockjaw due to the
many days of east wind, which really turned the waters brown.
They are full of sand. The weather pattern for now seems to have
changed to westerly winds, so by Sunday the water should be smoking
for some good fat fluke to go.
But
some in the mean time, some big fat blues and stripers will do
just fine, especially this size. Thanks Ed for some good fishing,
as always...
