Captain's Focus

Well, we were skunked yesterday.  I would not have believed it, but nary a hit.  We covered the area from Ortely Beach down to the Bathing Beach.  No bunker to be seen either.  Word came that the Bunker were thick off of Bay Head (too far for me).

Interestingly, based on radio chatter is was a very quiet catching day except for one boat that seemingly did pretty well.  That boat was trolling stretch 25's in 61 ft. off of the "wheel".   The interesting part, the captain said he could not get his boat to troll slower than 4 knots... and he caught all the fish.  From my experiences you always want to be in the 1.5 - 3.0 knot range when trolling cows.

Oh well, the Bass will be back soon.  I guess the storm early this week broke them up a bit.  In the meantime, our focus will be switching to Seabass (and Cod).  Back at it tomorrow.  Hopefully with some better news this time.
