Picked another great day for offshore!!
Fished with Darren, Eric and Joe for mako and cod. Left SRI at 3:00 am. Got set up and had a very slow drift but at least we were moving. Had three blue sharks until we got the right bite around 11:30 am.
We landed a nice 150 lb class Mako! He was 72" and ate a bluefish fillet.
Gutted and iced the Mako and got on a nearby wreck and drop and reel codfishing to 21 lbs. Boated 40 nice cod with many over 12 lbs in just 4 hours of wreckfishing. Eric had the big one at 21 lbs with Joe's not far behind. We had some 10 lb+ double headers also. Left them biting.
The dolphins also put on a show for us and it was fun to see them playing.
Got back in around 8:00 pm with lots of fillet work to do.
I would like to thank Pete from Atlantic Highlands Bait & Tackle for the very good bait! Thanks Pete - see you soon.
Perfect day, catch, weather and crew!! Welcome summer!
Back at it asap...
