Fall Fishing

Well, it has been a busy and rather short fall season. We missed most of the early fall traveling in China and although we are still a couple of weeks from officially welcoming winter, I do not think we will have time to do much fishing between now and the first days of winter. So I decided to post some of these photos. The girls were able to meet us for the weekend and we headed out of Oregon Inlet aboard the SeaNote (www.seanotecharters.com) with our friends Capt Benjie Stansky and William for some offshore fishing on a very cold November day. Things were slow so we decided to try our luck at bottom fishing. It was a great success and the girls had a lot of fun landing 17 good size tilefish. It is always great to spend time with Benjie and William, so the fish were just an added but welcomed bonus. Melissa and a double header Michelle and Will and a nice tilefish Melissa, Michelle, Debbie and Ray with the day's catch Our next trip was out of our winter home in Palm Beach. The nice late season Dorado found us and Debbie had the honor of bringing it home for dinner. Colette bagged the nice opportunistic cobia after it cleaned a couple of hooked snappers on the way up. It turned out to be a perfect South Florida day and not a bad fishing weekend. Debbie and a nice dorado (Cockpit Chaos) John manning the downrigger (Cockpit Chaos) Colette and a Cobia (Azul) A nice cow West End (Cockpit Chaos) Last weekend we crossed over to the West End hoping to find some of those wahoos that make their way from up north. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and it turned ugly from the get go making our weekend trip an overnighter. We stayed Friday night at Ginn’s Old Bahama Bay (www.oldbahamabay.com), a first class resort in every way. Our friend Janice Thompson went out of her way to welcome us with her characteristic Bahamian charm. Our short stay was memorable and I can assure you we will be back,Janice. David Onesty and a very decent striper (Azul) Here is a picture sent in by our great friend Neil Drumheller of Severn Wharf Rods in Gloucester Point, VA. Neil emailed me this nice shot of a Chesapeake Bay striper this afternoon. It was caught on a StingRay Azul rod by Neil's fishing buddy David Onesty. Neil, I am looking forward to joining you in late December for some serious striper fishing. (http://www.thenakedchickenflyshop.com). HAVE TROPHY SHOTS? STINGRAY EQUIPMENT IN ACTION?
