Got a chance to get out last Thursday for some pre opening blackfishing. Had my boy Brooklyn Dave out cause none of my so called hardcore fishing friends were able to......too cold or lady friends won't allow :p
Started off with a bang as Dave got a 6 lb. fish within the fist 3 mins, after that it was a pick of small fish. Was about to move but decided to give it another 10 mins...good move, fish put on the feedbag and it was non stop action for 4 hours. Even thru slack tide they were biting, I found a jig onboard and was able to catch a few keepers on it.... that was alot of fun.
Highlite of the day was this 27" fish I got, not sure what it weighed but it put up a great fight, when I hooked him he started going to the bow I knew it was a good fish. I was using a sidewinder and was able to get him off the bottom, when he saw the boat he went down for another run but we were able to slip the net on him...after a few pics and a measurment back he went.
I figure we had 20 something keepers and as many shorts.
Last week I had another good fish who did the same thing (ran to the bow) but I was using a regular reel Avet and he pulled drag and got me in the wreck/rocks...ending up losing him. Not sure how you guys using those reels get big fish off the bottom?:confused: especially when using mono and fiberglass rod.
Hope to get out next weekend before the boat goes in for winter storage.
I'm hoping my boy Fin S will post the picture for me cause I suck at that shite.
