Rodgers Bass Charter 5/24

We had the Rodgers Charter out Thursday afternoon with high expectations after a slammer trip last year.After making bait we headed up to fish,and we were crushed by the Blues ...And after hooking up and losing a few bass live lining we put out the spoons. Hooked up another bass and she came unglued as well.We limped home in the fog with only Bluefish to show for our efforts.

We had Kevin and the boys out for an afternoon trip Friday afternoon.While making bait I look to see Kevin eating a F-in bannana!!After ridding the boat of a second one we started fishing.These boys had a 50 last year and after the bannana episode I figured we were done..Well we found em' with the spoons and proceeded to christen our new Tony Maja rods in style and were bent up for a couple hours!After the dust settled we hooked up 25 Bass and put 10 in the boat to 35lbs! All our fish were on the #4Green Maja spoons.I guess it was something Kevin ate !LMAO.See you guys next year!

LOWRIDER - Tezak Bass Charter

We had Tim and the boys out for an afternoon trip. Got to the grounds and out went the Majas and right after we came tight on a double header. I thought it was game on because both came unglued. We ended up hooking over a dozen fish with alot of short hits. Ended up with 3 in the boat. It was a very fustrating evening for us to say the least. However, we still managed to laugh and bust balls all night, still a good but tough night for us. See you guys soon & Thanks!

George and I headed out last night to fish around last night to fish for an hour or two before dark. We found em deep with the Maja #4 s in yellow and white. We ended up getting 7 or 8 to the boat and had at least as many hits. Kept two for the table and released the rest. With the fish being spread out last night covering ground was key. Even in snotty conditions last night the Maja spoons perfomed well, fished em slow and deep.

We had Dave Steckley out with his friends Jim and Dave for an afternoon trip. With the SE blowing and scattered marks we put the wire out and went to work with the spoons. We had a very steady pick of fish and a limit in short order.With several fish released around the 20lb mark and mostly cookie cutters in the 12-15lb range. The marks we had were mostly 35-40ft so we were stretched out with the wire a ways. All the fish were caught on #4 MAJA spoons either green or chartreuse both worked equally well. On our way home we stopped on a small school and jigged a couple to end the night. Thanks guys for your hard work see ya in a few weeks!

Thanks to a call from George and Joe Sykk Fish we ran inshore and had a nice bass bite. The crew had steady action boating their limit of keepers.
