Finally started to shake the Flu and needed to get the boat out at least once during my break.
I heard that the yellows were still biting and never left. I went out to a fleet of boats, but never saw a single one hooked up. I metered a few, but spent 3 hours trying for some bigger game to no avail.
I switched up to dropping the irons for rockfish instead and got my limit before the season closes on the first of Jan. I did very well on the bass, but mostly all were 12-14 inch models. I also caught Sand Bass 2:1 over the calico.
I was using some new irons that I got for Christmas and they worked so much better than the usual megabaits!
Browns
Multiple Treefish with some biggies!
I was passing clouds and clouds of sardine! The bait boats were there purse seining for the bait receivers.
I kept my limit of bottom fish. Not giants, but pretty decent quality for where I was fishing.
I also decided to keep some perch for the next time I go surf sharking! All big Blacksmith and should make good bait. After all, Jim would try them.
It went from rough first thing in the morning, to flat calm, to just ramping up again as I was coming in off the big pond.
No yellows, but was a fun morning trip to end the year out!
Thanks for reading.
