Holliday's World Famous Fishing Thread - 2023 Version

about 3:15 in the aft

I'm a big fan of late day/sunset fishing. Mostly because I can't get up early anymore. But I find that a hour or so before sunset is almost as good as dawn. Plus, it transitions into night fishing, which is big in summertime here.

April 15 Striped Bass opens. I usually take the Grandkids to Little Neck Bay. It is shallow and if you catch an all day incoming tide with a sunny sky- it warms up nicely by afternoon. Those few degrees of warmth convince the Bass to come in and feed. I use big Flounder hooks and sandworms for bait. You can also get some fat North Shore Flounder that way. The water has been cold so I hope the weather warms up some.

I need to bottom paint the Whaler. The weather has been against that for weeks. I switched to the new water based bottom paint. I like it better than the solvent based stuff. But it is less forgiving of cold weather. I was really trying to get in the water early this year. Oh well......
