FRIENDLY; Sunday 10th Oct, Cheshire

Guys, looks like we have a good squad for our friendly against Cheshire this Sunday. Cheshire play in Divsion 2 of the SASL so this should be a good test for us as we get ready for our big game against Orange next week. Tom has put the directions to the Cheshire field in the comments section below and I will put them into the field directions page. We will have some trialists playing for us this weekend so it should be a fun game. If you have a spare Celtic shirt bring it with you for the trialists.

10 AM KICK OFF!

  2. Johnaldo - Depends on what you're fishing for and how you like to do it. I actually prefer running around after schools of fish chasing baitballs as opposed to wiring and jigging - it's more exciting... seeing a massive school of fish in an active blitz on a ball of bait 40 yards in diamater is unbelievable. Several times yesterday we could look down and it seemed the boat was floating on a school of bait. You can see the predators flashing in the water. Every blue we caught puked up like 10-20 minnows... it's really neat. Also in general there are larger fish on the reefs at Montauk as opposed to the in-shore reefs (You guys got lots of 30 inch stripers, and some smaller ones... but no bigger ones!) Lots of it is still timing and luck - there are better days and worse days at most of these fishing spots.
