If you northeastern guys are up for the Hudson...

[RichZ]

...this Saturday looks like a good bet.

We've only got 3 weekends left of legal fishing there. Two, if Warren's
going to be involved, because he chains himself to the store from T-day to
Christmas. It was pretty good this past weekend, despite the cold and wind.
How about it, Harry? Randy? B-Bill? Anybody heard from Moe? Lets get this
thing done!

Sounds fun Rich, but my dad's still down & out. He doubts he'll be able to
work a full day until after Turkey Day. I've pretty much been chained to
the store since Oneida. I hope you kick everyone's butt though...

Hi Rich,
My name is Phil Goodwin. I live in Germantown,NY. Went out on the Hudson
yesterday after reading your post about Saturday. I did not do too well
which is usually the case as it starts to get colder. I have never been able
to catch many fish in the creeks as the season progresses into this time of
year. I went to the Esopus and only managed 2 fish. One was a smallmouth
around 2 pounds from the back of the creek and the other was a largemouth
about 1 1/2 pounds from the lighthouse point. I fished a tube most of the
day. I would like to say I will see you out there but I winterized the boat
after getting home, so unless I learn to walk on water that ain't gonna
happen. Good luck if you do go out and if you can't find a partner drop me a
line because I would love to go out.

Phil,

Haven't heard from Harry yet, but so far it looks like the back seat in my
boat is open this Saturday. I offered it to him last week, so if he wants
to take it, it's his. Otherwise, stake your claim to it, Phil.

Hi again Rich,
I can't seem to get an e-mail to you so I guess I will have to use the
newsgroup (sorry guys). I would love to go out Saturday if Harry can't make
it for some reason. Just e-mail me with the details and I will get back to
you. Thanks once again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Well, since Harry is working, it sounds like a good one! You just need find
your way across the river to the Schlietsburgh Ramp (Or at least to the
corner of N Broadway and Rte 9) In Port Ewen (I believe that's port ewen on
the south side of Rondout Creek at the mouth, isn't it?) around daybreak.
Bring whatever you're comfortable fishing with, but at least some of it
should be light to medium spinning gear. Do you drop shot?

Phil,

My pop server is still crashed, so I can't receive email. A huge tree fell in
my yard in the windstorm today. But it missed the boat (not by much) and
isn't blocking me from getting it down the driveway, and the National Weather
Service is saying that the winds in Kingston will be down in the 10 to 15 mph
range by daybreak tomorrow, so I'm up for it if you are. I'm planning on
being at the Sleightsburg Ramp 6:45AM. Let me know, so I can set my plans in
stone. Reply here, as my email server is just about like that tree in my back
yard. Dead.

So Phil and I went to the Hudson today. I guess all the rest of the
Northeastern ROFB guys were busy. Or wimps.

Anyway, we caught a load of fish, mostly drop shotting. Phil learned to
drop shot, and is now very comfortable with the technique. He didn't make
10 cast with anything else all day long. I threw a grub some, and caught
some nice fish on it, too. But the highlight of the trip for me (other than
meeting a new fishing buddy from the ROFB) was the 5 fish I caught on a
jerkbait. I threw a couple of Pointers in the box on a whim last night, and
tied one on today. First cast with it I hooked and lost a fish, then got 4
in 6 casts. Later I came back to the same spot and got one on my 1st cast
with the jerkbait again. This in 42 degree water, in mid-November in the
north. Cool.

I'll have to reserve comment on that because I am a rather new guy here and
still want to make friends (lol).

Thanks again Rich for all your help in learning a new technique that I am
sure will benefit me in the future.

I still can't believe those fish hit that bait in water that cold but the
proof is in the pudding (or the bass in this case).
In closing I'd just like to thank you again Rich for a great day. I can say
without hesitation that if any of the guys in the newsgroup ever
get an opportunity to go fishing with Rich, that they should jump at the
chance. He outfitted me with all the tackle I needed for drop-shotting,
provided
the boat and some great company. I look forward to sharing a boat with you
again.

Phil
P.S. Hope you clean house on those crappies tomorrow.

There are a lot of great jerkbaits, but the Pointers are a fine bait that has
always come through for me in cold water when nothing else got a snigg from the
bass.
