2015 Was a Good Year!

2015 Was a Good Year!

What an awesome  season it was , and when time fly’s by so fast your head spins you got to slow it down , here is a little snippet from guiding last year and our fishing season  of 2015 .

Spring fishing started at the beginning of  May , it could not come fast enough after a very long and cold harsh winter kept water temps down and not to spring like . As the back bays hit a happy temp for the Bass they started their spring push but that only lasted a few weeks  , then all the sudden almost every back bay was invaded by some very large narly Bluefish. It was just the kind of fun we needed as the Bluefish were  taking plugs on top , metal and soft baits sub surface with reckless abandonment , they were a hoot for our customers to play catch and release with a snap shot for memories .

Once the weather got normal for a few week and then an above normal spell shot water temps up really fast and the big stripers packed up and moved out to deeper water and the schoolies  moved in close , with just a short paddle distance from the launch area  for our customers that are new to saltwater kayak fishing  these young Bass provide a great thrill when a hook up takes place and turn into a worthy opponent all in a half a second , clients  love to yell out , laugh and smile , some times it  just works out .

BAM , the bass hits.

July got hot and so did the summer Fluke fishing  as these bad boys were laid up sipping on bait in the back country.

Fall came and went with a lot of time spent in my Native Watercraft first-class kayak seat and I prolly paddled my Slayer 14.5 than I pedaled the Propel 13 , I am a Paddler for sure . More posts to come with time on hand in winter months  and I need to be more regimented on timely  reports and posts. As I go through all my photos and video I see the whole season is a big blur , meeting and fishing with so many good people  every week, I thank you, always keep traveling up and down the Jersey shore looking for that coastal kayak fishing adventure . Fish with us Catch a smile
