6/6/12 Bass charter.

Went out yesterday for an afternoon charter with my boy on the Andrea's Toy out of Clark's Landing Point Pleasant. Left the inlet at around 1:30 headed North and found the bunker off Spring Lake. Boy were they thick and they were being blitzed by gator blues with some bass mixed in. After making bait with the cast net we fished that pod for about an hour with nothing but blues, lost alot of treble hooks. At least it got the blood pumping. We ran north to just about Asbury. No boats around, no sign of bait, but some marks on the screen. We set up to drift live bunker and on the first drop we had a fish on. My son was first up and AJ made short work of a nice 20lber. Continued a slow drift with occasional resets to where we started (we were about 1 1/2 miles off in about 55 ft of water)./ We wound up going 5 for 9 on bass up to about 35 lbs with some big gator blues as well. I caught two large blues and one bass at about 25 lbs, I missed one bass after we ran out of treble hooks and probably lost 3-4 blues with hooks. The fleet showed up at around 4:00pm and the fish slowed down with them. Wind and swells really picked up around 5:00pm and it was a bumpy ride back into Point. From the chatter it sounded like most guys only found blues so we were feeling pretty good with 5 in the box. Can't recommend Andrea's Toy any more highly, great crew and they know how to find fish. Boat's a little tight when everyone's on the back but it's nice to be able to walk around and fish from the front or the sides.

Good stuff - I fished the same area that morning on the Fisher Price II and we also kept 5 up to 38 lbs

Good to see people catching
