Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Launched at Aqualand just before high tide this evening. Had perfect conditions for shallow water stripers, but only found a few 12"ers. Moved out to the drop off in front of Pasquahanza Cr. and used high/low bottom rigs baited with garlic shrimp in 20'. Final tally was 2 blue cats over 8#, 1 channel cat around 5#, 12 dink perch and 3 14" croakers. Left before dark and all fish swam away healthy. Best news of the day was my 9 month old Lab puppy was happy to get on the boat for the first time, and seemed to have a good time. He made friends with every fish that came aboard (except the cats). That answered a big question, I do have a boating companion.

The water color was off and there was more trash floating than I ever remember, mostly wood with some dangerous sized logs. Surface temp registered @ 75.5 deg.

Sorry, no pics. Found out that my new waterproof, drop proof, freeze proof camera with a blank 32gig memory card didn't stay on the roof of the car like it should have. (sounds like something Kiko would try) Oh well.... I seldom catch anything when I have a camera along.
