HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW YEARS DAY BLACKFISH: Had Tim, Dan, Capt Steve
(Legacy), Richie and Matt out Sunday for the first trip of the year. Went
right back to where we left em biting Saturday. Started with a slow pick of
shorts, keeps and dogs. Wasn't looking too bad. What a beautiful morning it was,
flat as a lake and almost t-shirt weather. Couldn't ask for more. Stayed on the
piece and stuck it out for the afternoon bite that it has been. Wind shifted and
had to re set. Life died out. Wiggled around a couple times. Lots of life but
scratchy bites all day. Lots of shorts too. Then the south wind picked up to 30
knots and seas built to 4-5 ft. Called it a day a bit early, due to conditions
not getting any better. Back at the dock around 3:30. Ended up with 14 decent
keepers. Not a good way to start off the new year. But we tried our best.
NEW YEARS EVE BOAT LIMIT TO 9 LBS: We had the Brandon Lee charter out
for a tog fest on New Year's Eve day. Started off the morning with shorts and
dogs, picking a couple of keepers here and there. Made another drop, and it was
the same. Looked like another day in the dog pound. Went inshore for another
drop, and picked a few decent fish. Then zero life after that. Took a ride
northeast, hoping for something to change. Set up shop around 1 pm or so. Had
some good flurries of nice 4-5 lb fish. Put 5 in the boat, wait 20 minutes for a
bite, and so on ... Made a little wiggle, and finally got what we were looking
for. 6's, 8's and 9's hitting the deck, one after the other. Solid fish here.
Most fish ranged from 4-7lbs, couple 8's and 9's too. Headed back to the dock
with a boat limit of 48 keepers to 9 lbs. Very nice day out on the water for
December 31st. Can't ask for better weather! Thanks guys, nice job!
TOUGH
TOGGIN TODAY 12/29: Well today we had the all-star crew. Eric the Mortgage Man,
Blackfish Doug, Joe Jigs, Bottom Bouncer and a 'dunkin donuts' guy. The bite
sucked. Made a few moves and adjustments, too. Didn't have a bite all day. A
million dogs to add to the frustration. Called it an early day. Ended up with 10
keeps to around 4 or 5 lbs.Thanks again. Another day ....
