Ocean Explorer Sunday

[Ocean Explorer]

1-12-14 We made our way in a large ground swell this morning....I would guess about a 6-8 ft.swell was waiting for us when we got to the ocean..Light west winds early on then it blew about 15-20 the rest of the day but never to bad out..,besides the swell and a chop later on it was no big deal the ocean just a bit of chop and roll to it...I was a little worried that the swell would shut down the life on the bottom but luckily we had some bites and caught some fish..By no means good fishing,,,A certain Zagorski family member had high hook with 4 keepers,, few guys had two keeper blackfish,,some had one,,,some nice ling mixed in here and there..It was just a slow pick at some fish,,,it might have been decent for just a small group of guys but not enough for a nice crowd we had..We never got into any Jumbo Tog today either,,,they were just not in the mood..Most of the keepers today were in the 3-4lb.range including the pool winner that Mr.Reyes took home worth a rather large amount!!!!Thats him in the first pic,,...So in the end it could have been better,,but it could have been worse as well,,,I guess with the swell I was happy that we at least had some life..With the swell dying down and light winds tomorrow it is shaping up to be a nice day,Im looking forward to getting back on the grounds already.... so see ya tomorrow!!Pics.

With the conditions I thought it's was going to be even tougher fishing. Just call me blind squirrel :) I got lucky. Great job Bobby finding the fish!!! Even with the crowd we had the mates were always right there when you needed them. Great boat, Capt and crew always a pleasure to fish with this great operations!!!!! It was cooler heaven in the stern until Mike and Jeff squared it away. Thanks so much guys!!! Congrats to Jose on the pool glad you waited to get to the dock cause it was close.
