Gambler's first offshore tile trip of the season was a bust. We tried many different spots and depths. We got clobbered with dogfish everywhere we went. (Another failed experiment by fisheries managers, marine scientists determined that --dogfish were on the brink of extinction).

The ride out was rough but continued to gradually get nicer as the day progressed. The fishermen were good sports, working hard every drift but the dogs gave no quarter. I believe that the spiny dogfish will need to migrate inshore before the tile action can improve. Hopefully soon.

Gambler is out now, Capt Mike at the helm, on a 10AM till 3PM taug trip. We will be running the 10 to 3 everyday except Fridays through April.
