Had a FTYP trip today with George, Duffman Dan, Bob S, Jim, and Joe aboard. 

With the news of a crappy bite up north we decided to at least start out locally and fish around a couple of snags in some cleaner water where some fish bit before the blow.  We were able to just pull shorts out of these areas.  We then made the run all the way up north to fish the rough stuff and got into some better action before the current really got ripping.  Some keeper seabass, as well as a mix of short and keeper fluke came out of this area.  We then went a bit further off, and fished a couple of hills/rough spots and picked a few more - but by 1PM the current was roaring and we couldn't hold with 12 + oz. of lead! 

The guys didn't want to have any part of pulling 16 oz. so we switched over to seabass.  We then anchored up on a couple of rough spots nearby, and pulled some short seabass out.  We then ran offshore and tried a few rough spots on the edge of the mud hole for ling/cod and seabass, and pulled a few short seabass out as well as a couple of short fluke.

Our last drop of the day was close to home about 6 miles NE of our inlet.  Read a ton of life on this rockpile and immediately anchored up.  We had lock and load seabass fishing for about 20 minutes before we swung off; we then picked up the hook and started drifting on the piece and continued to pound away.  This last drop saved the day!!

For the day we wound up boating around 75 seabass, with around 25 going in the box (I didn't get an exact count from Mike), 30ish fluke with 3 going in the box, as well as a couple of short tog.  Overall a good day - nice action to finish it up!
