Ocean Explorer Friday

[Ocean Explorer]

1-19-18 It was good to get back offshore today,...Breezy with west winds about 15 but the ocean was decent with a 2 foot sea....Water hovered about 39-40 degrees out there....Seemed like the bow had the best action today for some reason,,,up there Milky and Joe seemed to have blackfish chewing on most of the drops and in the end they both had 2-3 keepers and numerous shorts including Joe Joe's pool winning Piggy that went about 13-14lbs.....It was a really fat fish,,,I also watched a couple of other big fish shaved off....All on white crabs....Had 1 or 2 keepers in the back but it seemed those two guys in the bow had the best shot at em....Also had a keeper Codfish and numerous other Banana Cod and a Torpedo Ray...Some perch life as well...So while not a great day still we had some shots at big fish and caught some fish as well...Game plan for Saturday and Sunday is get back out there and look for some more big Togs....We are fishing..see ya tomorrow..few pics
