For the Week Ending Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019

Tuesday, Sept. 10 (from Dave and Ken)...Given our performance this past Sunday, it was time to go looking for some productive water today. After about 7.5 hours, we had boated a total of 11 keeper bass, plus some bream and a striper...definitely an improvement over last Sunday's tournament. There's no way of knowing if the fish still will be there again this Saturday, but at least we have some place to start, and that's a far cry from last Sunday. All in all, it was a good day, and we were both satisfied when we came off the water about 2 o'clock. Ran into some friends at the launch ramp this morning, namely Rob, Tom and Joe. Never saw any of them again after we all motored away this morning, so don't have a clue how any of them did.

Wednesday, Sept. 11 (from Skip)...Was at West Neck when Skip returned from his day on the water, and he was quick to note that his day was anything but usual. Seems he didn't have so much as a smell until his last hour, and then he boated four bass, three of which were keepers. Thankfully, this kind of day is the exception instead of the rule. Still, it makes for a long day.

Friday, Sept. 13 (from Ron)...Not a freshwater report. Had to travel to San Diego for work. Brother of mine took me out in his boat, and I caught five different species (halibut, calico bass, California scorpion fish, sand bass, and spotted bay bass). The 24.5-inch halibut gave a really good fight. They are all firsts for me, technically, all personal bests!

Saturday, Sept. 14 (from Ron)...After that halibut, I really wanted some tacos. Fished Rudee Inlet and found what I was looking for:  a 17-inch flounder and a nice speckled trout. Yum!
