Ocean Explorer Saturday

[Ocean Explorer]

2-22-14 Pretty nice to start today,,light southwest breeze calm ocean conditions..Water still hanging around 36-37 degrees...We picked a few fish early,,some ling,,not many,,it seemed a little slow with the bites overall..Couple of nice codfish..most of the action seemed all on the startboard side for some reason,,just could not get anything going at all on the port except dogs,,,,Few guys got three or four ling but most got the skunk,,,but overall it was tough especially when the winds started howling out of the south,,It got sloppy and the few bites we were getting just died,,,The afternoon was no good at all..Today was the first day I had North tide running to in the afternoon,,gotta stay away from that tomorrow..it seems to shut all life down....Anyway tomorrow is looking real nice with light winds out of the west...we should have better conditions so see ya in the morning....pics..

Dude, you've been on 3 captains reports, with nothing positive to say.. Yeah the fishing bites, and the capts have been calling it like it is.. However, they have bills to pay too, and those boats and captains need paying fares.. These guys have to eat too, even when the water is too cold for great fishing.. I am not going out until fishing is better, and you don't have to go either.. however, some guys WILL go, and these captains need people that still want to fish when fishing is not very good. Thats how they stay in business... bob
