Almost a skunk!
Maybe it really was a skunk. Does one 17" striper count? If not, then today the
smell was really bad! We left Deale at 7am, after a little search for some bait. Went down to the Summer Gooses (about 20 miles or so south) to try our luck with some chum and bloodworms. Bloodworms were $8.75 a dozen at Bay Pro, and he said that was a pretty good deal as the 7/11 was getting $10.50 a dozen. Regardless, we didn't have even a nibble on those gourmet bloodworms! There were several boats around, mostly charters (including the Loosen Up), but only one was anchored. The rest were all trolling in a tight circle, and every so often a fish would get caught. Then the fish would get thrown back. We didn't see one keeper caught by anyone. Thinking that trolling for dinks was better than bouncing up and down in the 3 feet high one footers the USCG predicted, we put out the trolling lines. Within ten minutes we had a take down and my neighbor pulled in a 17"er. Hell, at least he caught a fish, and he thought it was pretty neat, until I threw it back and explained the law! We trolled across the bay to Breezy Point (something burned up at Breezy today), with no take downs. Once across the bay we found the shell bottom and tried to get some croaker (or anything). Nada! Then we came home. The water was smooth as silk (not glass) for the ride back and the weather was as perfect as it gets. So, we caught nothing but had a great time doing it! Nice speaking with crazyfish who was filling his cooler with flounder.
