Brothers out on SD Bay Sept 2
 

Good evening fishing friends. My brother FishingMike and I got out on SD Bay today. We were at our launch point this morning by 545. It was foggy and warm. Kind of weather that reminds you of the importance of bringing your life jacket, a light, and a whistle. the water was warm and unlike other days fishing, there were three other yakers ready to hit the bay.

After launching trolled my crocodile and a 3 inch grub. Missed two hard hits. Left the Shelter Island Yacht basin and made my wat to the lower range marker. Lots of bait fish. On the way out picked up 2 small macks on on the troll. Stayed around the lower range marker because the fog was really thick. Really glad I brought my whistle. Number of boats cruising at fast speeds and had to blow a couple times just to make sure they knew I was out there. When the fog burned (8:30) off there was little to no breeze.

Caught several spotties around the lower range marker area. Two of them were foot longs. FishingMike called me over to his area as he just missed landing a keeper Hali. He was fishing near the Shelter Island Pier. Made my way towards him and landed 3 sandies. Made my way back south catching a couple more sandies and several more spotties. Last fish I caught was a 14 inch spottie with a fat belly. Let it go to multiply and provide us all with more opportunity.

Final Count:

Bubbacee - 2 macks, 11 spotties, 5 sandies
FishingMike - 7 sandies, 5 spotties, 1 calico, 1 mack

Fish well my friends.

Thanks
 

For the report

That was us!
 

Great post it was a good morning for all.

Is that a porta bote on the top of the picture?

No idea some random boat people.

Welcome. Just trying to help folks.

Buddha - it is. It belongs to an Asian guy about 50 years old and his dad. Every time I go out he and his dad go. Takes them about as long as a yaker to get it set up and out on the water.

they had a small trolling motor
 

they did have a trolling motor and battery as well. It didn't look half bad.

It was cool to meet mike. I was the guy who parked in front of you guys. We went out toward the jetty and got some calicoes and hamdfulls of small halies and that fog was sketchy but we crossed the bay in that fog thanks to my gps

Nice. Were the Cali's keeper size?

Shelter Island Yacht Basin

Anyone going back this weekend? I am on the fence between cattle boat and going back out here ....:reeling:!!!!

at the ramp or is there a decent beach to launch from, I don't know the area

Sorry Flounder was busy at work Thursday and Friday and missed this.

Harry Hill I launch from Kellogg Beach in the yacht basin. Pretty easy access. Parking is okay early in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays.
