Paramount Monday Marathon

[tautog]

Started off at the dock with a fair pick on stripers. Caught 3, 2 on a microlight rod. Went out with a small crew. Conditions were sporty but there were fish to be caught. Anchoring conditions were tough, but if you could mind your line, you caught. We had a good pick of ling in the deep. We had some flounder and I had a 1 1/2lb lobster.

Captain decided to move shallower and on the way in We stopped at a floating barrel. I had a 4lb mahi on my microlight rod that spit the hook at the net. Our stop inshore found the motherload of 12"-15" banded rudderfish. A few triggers and some very nice out of season sea bass were caught here. The rudders came up shallow enough to catch one on my 1/8oz bucktail on the little rod.

I wound up with the lobster, 40 ling, a four spot and 16 rudderfish. Pool was a flounder of around 4lbs. Most people had around 8-15 ling and 6-10 rudderfish. Some inexperienced people out today as all the heavy hitters went yesterday..*LOL*.
