Too say today was "Nasty", is an understatement! What was supposed to be 20-25 West, turned into 30 steady with many gusts 35+. With the incoming current it wasn't comfortable but who cared, the fish were biting!
Had life all to ourselves right off the bat with 4 area's of Birds working! Second drift went for 35 minutes slugging away at all Stripers. A hand full of Big Blues started to bite near the end of the tide. Ran to a new area and found the bass again.
I could watch those gannets all day, the deep screeching, crashing the water from 40 ft. up to catch a herring. Doesn't get any better than that.
Everyone went home with two keepers and sore arms. Pool fish 31 inches, a bunch that made 28 plus the tagged fish.
Dave B in the stern, Jacob and Rich in the pulpit (don't know how they fished up there) putting on a clinic. Finally got to take some cast's myself, had to leave the wheelhouse or I would have been a pin ball all day....landed dinner and tossed a whole bunch back.
Dec. 15th and the water temp is still 52-54 degrees! I might have to cancel my vacation this year.....
Tomorrow looks great, it's day to day so don't miss out!!!!!!
