Today

Pulled up short to start as it was bumpy running out. Hit a 28” ARS off the bat, followed with a short gag, then a short scamp. Picked at the usual triggers and Bliners. Headed deep after an hour or two of that.

Tried the deeper drops but the drift was 2.5 knots and the Rhodan wouldn’t hold with wind, tide and current, managed one yellow mouth

Prospected a bunch of weed lines but no life on them.

Ran back in and limited on good sized Bliners, strawberries and some other bottom fish. Got in a fight with a 150# or more sand tiger on an Accurate BV 300 and light slow pitch rod and got it boat side. Those noodle rods and little reels are just impressive for what you can beat with one. Tons of jacks as well.

Kids had fun, my youngest finally used a patch and didn’t get seasick. Fished all day, had a blast and is ready to go again.

Ran out at 30, in at 40, dry and comfortable. Finally got to use the NV camera, that’s a game changer running in the dark.
