July 15 -- Catch & Release Blackfish

Wednesday, 19 July 2017 13:40

Written by Capt.Derek

Had the Steve Masiello charter out this morning. With the slower than normal fluking the guys opted to bend the rods and go play catch and release with blackfish on light tackle. Got set up on the first piece and had very little life. Made a short move and found lights out action for the remainder of the day. Jigs and rigs both caught equally well with the guys landing around 100+ blackfish to 8#, releasing all fish safely for another day.
