Had Jimmy Fells charter the boat with Ken, Chris, Cubby, Mook, and Dave. Broke the inlet at 630 and found a beautiful ocean. Ran north, waaaaay north.

First stop though was right outside SRI where we had some great marks, but they didn't bite in 2 drifts. Next stop was the rocks, just lots of bait, so we ran up quite a bit further to the north and found some scattered bait and a few fish marks. Worked this area for a good portion of the day. Mook got the first fish of the day early, but that was it for hours. We rode around, burnt fuel just looking - we'd read them, set up on them, but the guys just came up empty.  Finally around 1:30 we found some good readings on the bottom and we had 1 keeper on a kroc, and also had a few follows to the boat but no takers. Also had a few fish on top. We stuck with this for a good portion of the day because these fish turned on yesterday afternoon - today: no good!

On the way home, stopped on some readings and caught crapola.  Very tough day, just 2 fish ALL DAY LONG. Jimmy and the guys were great but I hate coming home with pretty much nothing. Back at it next weekend hopefully these fish wake up and get the feedbags on again.
