Default Re: MVP 2015 Fishing Reports

Tim, Joe and all the guys from High-Mar. Can not thank you guys enough for putting together such a well run event.

Very grateful to be able to participate and contribute to such a worthy cause
Team Eastwick made the board again for the 3rd straight year
1st place 2013
3rd place 2014
5th place 2015

We squeaked in this year with 40 lb total. I had the first bass of the day at 24 lbs. Nice way to break the ice and get us started. Raul then followed up with a 13 lb. bass. Keeper put not what we were looking for. With are two bass in the first hour we know we had a shot if we could upgrade that second fish. Sounded good in theory but blues had another plan in store for us. As all we could get to bite were the blues. Did not matter what we tried. Fished 2 lines on bottom and 2 on top. Live bunker, Whole chunks, heads butterflied. Did not matter as blues destroyed all our offerings. At around 1130 am we decided to swing for the fences and head to the rocks in search of one decent bass. Fished a few spots with our bunker but had no LOVE. Only 2 others boats in area who were trolling but only had bluefish to show for their efforts. Broke out my custom Australian spoon rods for about half hour hoping they would work their magic on custom made Legacy spoons but bass were not present as water was 52.5 degrees

Knowing we needed one more decent size bass we headed back to our morning spot that produced are two keeper bass. As the tide picked up Raul got his second bass of the day that weighed in at 16 pounds. Not the 20+ we were hoping for but it was an upgrade from the earlier 13 pounder.
After being inundated with blues again we pulled the plug at 310 and worked our way back for 4 pm weigh in hoping that with all the bluefish action that are 2 bass would hold up. Final weigh in takes place and team Eastwick makes the board for the 3rd year in a row.

Can not thank the guys from Hi - Mar and Barh's Landing and sponsors enough for hosting us as they put on very nice spread:
Clam Chowder, Fried Stripe bass chunks, cheesesteaks, onion rings, rice with shrimp and scallops, sautéed mushrooms and onions and peppers. NICE

Congrats to all the winners and everyone who participated
Looking forward to next year already as our 5th place prize is free entry into next years tournament
