Had Hurricane Dave and crew on today for their annual fluke trip.
Big swell early definitely hurt the fishing. Started out just picking at shorts and skates until Rick decked a real nice thick 7# fish.
After that the fishing slowly improved as the day went on as the swell dropped out and we got a little wind. Wound up picking fish everywhere we stopped the boat the last few hours however many were shorts but we did have keepers every now and then.
Wound up with 10 nice ones in the box -- out of ~75 (or more) shorts, most of the keepers were over 20" to Rick's 7#er. Craig led the way with 4 keepers.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
