Voyager Yesterday
 

capt tried a few inshore spots for sea bass first.i started bucktailng and catching fluke right away.there were some nice sea bass coming up here and there but the i just stuck to the fluking.2nd drop i flip out the bucktail
and bam!!! after alittle tussel up comes a 6lb fluke.we picked away at the fluke and sea bass till around 10:00am when the capt says were off to the ling grounds.as soon as we anchor up and the capt say drop them in its game on.lots of ling coming over the rail with doubles and even triples.it was lining at its finest.when the bite would slow we would make alittle wiggle and game on again.everyone was catching,some more than others but everyone went home with fish.i would like to thank capt john,barry and chris for a great day on the water and some great fishing.my fluke ended up winning the pool,witch i gave to the mates as they really husseled to make sure everyone was having a good day.

Awesome Ed! Cannot beat a day like that!

SNAPPERHEAD

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

sounds like a great day! big crowd???

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

not really maybe 30 peeps.would have been boring for you jmurr,not to much of the philly kind.:p

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

you were not fishing the right rigs! I needs some mountain trout depending on my monetary situation I may go next weekend

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

LOL!!!! the ling bite was crazy good.lots of doubles and even a few triples.caught some spots at the dock before we left,stripped them up and man did those ling like them.the ling we pretty much all large with a few cigars mixed in.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

spots for bait! you get shot for that in Philly! then again........

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

it was out fishing the clam and gulp by far.we were fishing in 200ft and it stayed on the hook.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

if i go i will be at the dock b4 the crew as per tradition to catch whatevers swimming by the boat lol are they doing the split every trip? i really want lings but cannot go during the week

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

yes they are thurs,fri,sat and sun.really a great trip as you get to try for
different kind of fish.jmurr you could fill the cooler before they throw the lines off

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

Great report. What size bucktails were you using? Also, were you fishing off the front of the boat for spot or right off the dock? I have done this trip 4 times over the past month and a half. Great boat and great mates. I have always done well! Plan on going out again on Saturday if the weather cooperates.

Big P-

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

any triggers or porgys by the sea bass grounds?

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

bigp right off the bow.only sea bass and fluke with a few ling on the inshore stuff.i think we are alittle deep for the trigs.i use the 4oz bucktails w/ the 6" gulp swim mullet.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

I think i will commandeer that bow for philly bright and early on sunday! those 6 inch mullets are to big for sea robins all you do is get those flat things

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

Thanks! For the spot, were you using a sabiki rig or small hook with some bait?

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

i'll see ya sunday jmurr.i'll get there early and get some spots with ya.i was using a kingfish rig but i'm sure a sabiki would work just as well.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

looking forward to it especially considering the week i'm having already at work!!!!! there will be pretzels

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

had the sea bass,fluke and ling last night for diner with the family.those are
3 of the best eating fish out there imo and all caught on the same trip.can't wait till the weekend;)

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

What bait were you using for the spot? Clams, worms squid? Looks like good weather this weekend for both Saturday and Sunday. Should be a good day out for all of us.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

they eat bloodworms like you and I would attack a Lobster Buffet but when those lil guys are thick they will take anything so I'd save your $ and just ask the mates for some clam and cut it into lil tiny pieces smaller then you would for a porgy. size 6 hooks,small kingifsh or porgy rig or a sabiki should do the trick. they are also really yummy scaled and pan fried with just the guts and head taken off.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

WILL HAVE A "SPOT" POOL IN THE BOW{LOL}.i was using sandworms on saturday and clams on sunday.they were on the worms like crazy but they ate the clams too.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

Great thanks for the advice! I was using bergall filets for the Ling a couple weeks back and was out catching everyone on clams. Unfortunately I was only able to get 2 bergalls and the filets were used up quickly. Figure I could load up on some spot and use them instead...

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

i am a spot puller! anyone using those shrimps that were so hot in the spring for the mountain trout?

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

there were allot of peeps using the gulp stuff,they were all catching as well.it
looked like green was the color of choice.the capt was fishing next to me and was catching on the 3in green .

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

I am using the Philly Pretzel Plug System get some topwater Lings!

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

we will have to get a community barrel up in the bow for those philly specials.

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

agreed! If any of the crew of the Voyager is reading this please all "undesireable" species please can win a free trip to Philadelphia in my cooler! Except: Pouts go back now stupid government and Silvers are to much work with no smoker :(

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

Why can't you keep Pout anymore?

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

apprarently the feds closed it because people were keeping small wolfish up norf and saying they were Pouts

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

will just stick with the fluke,sea bass, and ling.jmurr your just going to have to deal with the good stuff for once!!!{lol}

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

I do love lings! i promised my Aunt more fluke, i just get bored bucktailing for 8 hours I like to mix it up, i hear theres a great robin bite up North though!

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

Lol!!! No Wings,more Ling!!!

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

Lol!!! No Wings,more Ling!!! No Wings,more Ling!!

Re: Voyager Yesterday
 

I will be bouncing that chartreuse bucktail; all morning hoping for a visit from BIG BIRD!

Re: Voyager Yesterday

Re: Voyager Yesterday
