FISHERMEN/SUNDAY FISHING REPORT......
It always seems to be the norm that when we have a boat load of Customers, the conditions just go to Hell! Yesterday we barely moved all day drifting at .2 to .3 knots all day. Better for the jiggers of course, but today....
We put the weight on first thing in the AM but it didn't seem to help. With the wind blowing NW 15 (instead of 10 out of the west) and a good outgoing current we couldn't stay were we have fished all week. Moved inshore and slugged away on Some keeper Fluke & Sea Bass. Couple guys had their 3, some with 2 and a bunch of Big Beautiful Sea Bass in the mix once again.
Laura Berg fishing the Pulpit (as usual), took the honors with a nice pool winning 7 Pound Fluke along with another keeper for dinner.
Very tough trying to get everyone acclimated as to how to fish in those conditions, especially on the weekend. I say it again guys for the countless times I have been posting...We are fishing the Big Ocean, there is Wind, there is Current, those light Ugly sticks just don't make it....I'm begging you, PLEASE bring at least One Medium to heavy action Rod that can handle up to 10-12 ounces! If you want to catch fish, that's what you have to do to catch fish with us. Wish I could stay in the bay and fish 20 ft of water and mud but it's not happening this season. We are fishing Rocky Bottom, Snags and some nasty stuff, today we broke 2 Rods that went before the line snapped! You have been givin the heads up once again!
Back at it tomorrow.
