Pioneer III

The last day for the Pioneer III was a great day to be on the water for late November. Skipped blackfishing and went for the bass. On board today was Mr. October, Big Tom (the cigarette smoker) Anderson, Evz, Michael ( the college kid) Lombardi, Rebecca and Roger. Hot rods of the day were Rebecca and Evz while everyone else held their own. Lots of short bass kept everyone on their toes all day. When it came down to the big bucks there were 2 contenders,  Mr. October and Roger but Roger gets to take his bride Christmas shopping. Happy Holiday's from The Pioneer III Roving Reporter. Hope to see everyone next season. That's all folks.

Left the dock at 6:30 as the Capt want to set up before the paparazzi arrived. Got set up and the first fish came over the rail at about 8:15 by Mr. October. Then Roger hooked up and  the cooler started to get real dirty. Evz, Big Tom and the Capt got off to a slow start but picked up as the day progressed. Big money went to Big Tom and that made the third week in a row for him. Congratulations to you Tom you deserve it. The conservationist (Village Idiot or Hardy Girl) went to Rebecca K, NYC. She managed to let the most fish return to their natural habitat than anyone else. High hook went to Mr. October with a double limit for the day. And yes we are going to do it all again Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS, see you in April.

With a chill in the air we left the dock on time with an outgoing tide. We set up and waited. It looked like six statues from St. Nicholas Church because there were no bites to be had. Around 9:15 Evz bagged the first fish that would be the pool fish and it weighed in at an even 8lbs. Then Mr. October, Randy and the Capt started boxing fish. The last 2 statues to finally come alive were Paradise Pete aka St. Peter and Felix. the bite turned on and before you knew it we limited and were tossing back 5 and 6 lbers. Got back to the dock early to end a great day on the Pioneer III. The last trip for the season is Nov. 27th. The bite is on so book a trip if you can. And yes we are going to do it all again Sunday.

Nice day to be on the Pioneer III. Fishing was a slow pick all day with a couple of hot picks. Today Rebecca K, NYC had a rod that was on fire. Big Tom Anderson, JC, NJ managed to catch the big money for today with the 5th largest fish on the boat. That is equivalent to Capt. Andy and Dan the mate having the largest tog of the day. Still they put a nice catch together. Roger, Evz and Tacklebox Tommy O helped dirty the cooler. The coldest rod was Mr. October with 1 short but had a lot of bites but just couldn't add anything to the catch. Now Mr. October knows how the Village Idiot felt. And yes we are doing it again on Wednesday and again Sunday.
The boat is scheduled to come out of the water after the Thanksgiving weekend so book your trips now. Call Capt. Andy  201-650-9768
