I hear that. I think I'd have to go pirate mode.

They did have clams.
One drop fishing
Fishing was very good for porgies and seabass.
I did not have to measure any of the fish that I caught.
A very big seabass and a large monkfish won the pools.

All the dinner plate porgies you could want, large sea bass were tougher to get to past the porgies but they were there.

Chops! When you get your fill on porgies using a jig for the seabass usually fixes that problem.

I wanted to jig but it was tight in the back with wind chasing everybody off the bow.
