Finally an update

I was lucky enough to get asked by my good friend Captain Ken Jones of Kenjo Flies to fish with him this past weekend as both of us haven't spent our normal time on the water the last couple of weeks. Kens boat "Sweetpea" is in the water and geared up for the spring migration. Saturday we decided to stay in the confines of Jamaica bay to find these bass everyone has been talking about. I think the winter doldrums have people alittle antsy. A good 10 hours or so on the water produced a handful of fish on top water between the 2 of us. We scouted many of Kens honey holes throughout the bay but didn't read too many fish nor bait on the sonar. With the nicer weather on Sunday we decided to head outside and look for fish out front. We found some birds working early in the morning and Ken fooled one nice bass on a top water plug but that was all we had to show for our efforts. THEN WE MOVED! A 20 minute run from our initial area was all we needed to have a steady pick of bass in the mid 20lb range for most of the day. Football field size schools of bunker in every direction with bass and blues trailing them. We had bluefish up to 15lbs. Most fish were on live lined bunker but Capt Ken managed to pull up a really fat 29in bass on a kenjo fly he produced and i managed some cocktail blues on a pencil popper. A truly memorable outing that went from zero to a hundred with a 20 minute run. Special thanks to Captain Ken Jones for finding the fish.
